Levin Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Evening, while building my 1/72 B29, I started looking over my shelf of doom as a distraction. Doing that I found the Revell boxing of the Hasegawa He 111 H-6 and ICM He 70 F-2, both in 1/72. One half painted, one ready for painting, I started thinking how to paint them, actually I thought a of a What If to let them stand out of the crowd somehow. I thought of asking here, if anyone knows interesting, colorful, distinctive or somehow different paintjobs or camoflages. I for example thought of a Japanese He 70 or a post-war Isreali He 111 but maybe you know something better. Thank you In advance Levin Edited July 31, 2016 by Levin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 During the Spanish Civil War at least one He70 carried a distinctive sunburst marking, usually shown as dark blue on the light grey camouflage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Befring Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The He-70 was on the list when Sweden was looking for a new long range recon plane, some inspiration may be found here: http://www.ipmsstockholm.se/home/swedish-air-force-reconnaissance-part-1-ordered-but-not-delivered/ like this but He-70? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that one but I have to admit I'm to lazy for all that masking and I thought of a whif so it's more relaxing to not care for detailsStill: Thanks for your suggestion Regards Levin Edited July 31, 2016 by Levin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That are nice schemes on that page I'll definitively keep those in mind (though i have to look for fitting decals :/ )Regards Levin Edited July 31, 2016 by Levin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If going for a total whif how about a pre Barossa Luftwaffe recon flight over Soviet Union goes wrong. He 70 falls into Soviet hands and is marked up and tables turned with NKVD or GRU using to spy on Germans so small Soviet Red Air Force markings. Throw in failed rescue attempt by He 111 so Soviet 111 too Elaborate as required 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Befring Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 ehh... SAAB never did make any tractors as far as I know... but the J-21 and B-18 wheels do look agricultural (and a pattern makers nightmare) and if you liked those, I think you might love these: http://www.ipmsstockholm.se/home/08-open-2013-del-6/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) The Turkish He 111 will not be in a big crowd I supouse. In fact they used He 111 F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_111#/media/File:Heinkel_He-111_in_Turkish_service.jpg Other option - what about Mistel config? He 70 on top? Edit - P.S. what about the British one?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_111#/media/File:Captured_He_111_in_Libya_1942.jpg Edited August 1, 2016 by JWM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levin Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Currently it seems like i will built the He 111 as ex japanese us SAM test plane (for squared whiffiness) and the he 70 as either dutch; south african or japanese version and than go and buy two other he 70 for the other versions (Mad world i live in) What do you say?
