1/72 Heinkel He-280 from RS Models

Recommended Posts

Hi, folks! Let me present to you my new model. I desided to rest little bit and builded this simple model. This is full "what if" version. Prototype of He-280 could be the first serial jet fighter of WWII, but it was Me-262. Because He-280 proved more difficult and expensive to manufacture.

Good evening Fuad

Well I have to say I'm a bit disappointed, I think you have taken nearly a week to do this one to perfection you must be slipping !

Amazing stuff as ever old mate.

In the subject of the Me262 being easier and cheaper to build I read that it was because the Luftwaffe decided that Messerschmitt would be seen as the fighter producer and Heinkel would concentrate on bombers instead. The He280 was ready a long time before the Me262 got its act together, it's another one of the what ifs...

Another very fine model you have there. How did it go together, any fit issues we should know about?

Plastic molded by casting technology of low pressure. If you are familiar with the products of this technology, then you are nothing new in this model. Some seam lines of panels are slightly, the set has no any photoetched parts.
I added some details from the resin kit of "Jumo-004Ð’-1" engines from CMK. Seat belts are also made from cigarette paper and thin wire.

Thanks for the information, I have one of these in the stash but haven't started it yet.

nice! i'm partway through building this kit now, and its encouraging to see how good it looks when finished. (although i am going the traditionalist route and finishing mine as the GJ+CB V3 prototype)

I respect your choice. I prefer receiving primarily aesthetic pleasure. :winkgrin:
