Luft46 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Finished this evening, Revell's awesome Heinkel He-177 A-6/R-1 One of my favourite aircraft from WW2, i know it wasn't the resounding success that the Luftwaffe thought it would be but it looks epic and has always fascinated me since i was a child. The A-6 could be considered a prototype in that it was only developed as an armaments test aircraft for air to ground and anti-shipping missiles, while also allowing for different rear turret designs to be tested. I believe that im right in saying that only 6 test machines produced in this variant One of the most enjoyable builds i think I've ever had, its a fantastic kit with great details, everything fits, great decals and goes together without any real issues. Just noticed that i haven't put the wing light in... ah well, one last task then im done lol Edited November 13, 2015 by Luft46 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Ahh is the Airfix kit a bit of a lemon then? I've just bought one on ebay so would be interested to know your thoughts on it! No not a lemon, it was more my modelling skill wasn't as good back in the early 90's and the canopy wasn't present. So my crew felt the wind blow in hanging from my bed room ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doozer1974 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 That's fantastic! I really like the disruptive white / pale blue - don't see that very often. Very nicely done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Oh yeah I like that. I remember making the Airfix one when it first came out when I was a sprog. I have a Revell one in the stash but didn't really have any immediate plans to build it but seeing this has made me consider it for my next build.
