Arniec Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Finaly some more pictures of the progress. It is not much, but the PE takes up a lot of time. Here is a picture of the tail that I braced. If you put the fuselage halfs on a flat surface you will notice that the tail is standing proud of the surface. There is a slight warp in it. I have got a couple of 111's from Revell/Monogram and they all have the same fault. You could try to bend it with some help from a hairdryer, but this is much safer. The rest of the foto's are the parts that were placed this morning inside the left fuselage. They are the radios. That is how far I got today.

snapper_city Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I remember building one of these years ago under a Revell rebox. Finished building it but never painted. Still to this day I have no idea what happened to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys,Here are three pictures of the interior before I start to paint it this weekend. The blobs of resin are the boxes for the amunition and for the emty cartridges. The white plate is a armored plate. Thanxs to Steven for the picture he provided me. I have done my best to detail it a little. The only trouble will be that there will be almost nothing to see of it when the two fuselage halfs will be closed. And the MG's for the side windows with the other pieces.Cheers, Edited February 15, 2013 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 very nice work Arnie - I know my eyesight wouldnt cope with work that small (which is why I have moved to 1.35 armour ;-)) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Excellent! I am working on a He 111 H20 for para transport based on the Revell H-22 and fiddle around with the interiour. As want to do it as a cut-away I have to build the whole interior from scratch - I must say I really enjoy it to figure out how things went together inside the He 111 with the limited reference I have (I supose the inside reference for the H-22 is close to none). Thanks for the tip with the tail and very nice work! Oh - one thing: I read somewhere that the side windows in the cabin were overpainted, so the crew could not see the highly classified V-2. I do not know if this is true (especially as the picture shown here does not look like that in my eyes) but maybe you like to check this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a magnifying glasses to cope with it. Excellent! I am working on a He 111 H20 for para transport based on the Revell H-22 and fiddle around with the interiour.

In the Aerodetail for the He 111 there are loads of pictures of the H20 that stands in the RAF museum in Hendon (London). Also from the cabin. I hope that that story about the crew isn't true. If you think about it it would almost be imposibble to work with it if you don't know what you are releasing of you plane. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuts Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 looks great nice work on the interior...I'm staying with tracked things now.. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Here are some pictures after painting the inside RLM02. The instructions says that you should paint it dark grey (RLM66), but after seeing some pictures from the inside I think it was RLM02. 2 pictures after painting. And 2 pictures after painting the radios and drybrushing the interior with some RLM02. The drybrush looks a little bit overdone, but that comes because of the flash photography.In real it is a little more subtle. There are still some things to do before the fuselage can be closed. There still needs to be done some detail painting and a wash. Cheers, Edited February 17, 2013 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Hi guys a small update. The interior is now ready and the fuselage is closed. Then you see why it is absolutely useless to put so much time in this area. here are some pictures of the interior before the closing. And here is a picture of the modified tailwheel assembly. I modified it so I can leave the tail wheel of to be painted seperate later on in the build. I made two holes in both sides of the tail fork where later the wheel can be attached with a small piece of metal wire/tube. Here is a picture of the model with the testfit of the wings.

Arniec Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi guys, Here are some pictures of the work I have done on the engines. The PE parts are a great improvement over the kit. I hope they look as great now as when they are painted. The coolers witch are a two part piece. The oilcooler The air inlet. And here are some pictures of the wheelbays. I have sawn of the doors so I can later install them in the build, without nocking them of reguraly. I alsi filled up a small gap in the front of the wheelbay with a small piece of plastic. The wings and tail planes are put together and just needs some cleaning up before they can go onto the fuselage. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Hi guys, Again some pictures of the engines. These are mainly of building some new exhausts. The late versions of the Heinkel He 111 H hade all different type of exhausts. The one I am building is the one with a flame damper on it. I used some exhausts from a He 111 H4/6, that I want to build into a earlier version (with the exhausts in this kit, witch are perfect for that). They are still not finished, but the main shape is there. It all hase to dry compleatly before I can finish them. After that I am planning to cast them in resin, what will be my first time (fingers crossed). Here are the pictures. Here is a picture of the testfitting of the SBS spinners. On the left the SBS one and on the right the original one. The original one is more for a early He-111. That's why I replaced them. Also the propeller blade is different, but no picture of that. The SBS version is broader. That is how far I have got till now. I hope you guys like it. Cheers, Edited March 3, 2013 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) And here are some pictures of the finished exhausts. The next thing to do will be casting these in resin (after making a mold). They are not perfect, but good enough for me. Cheers , Edited March 3, 2013 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
