Lúcio Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi! I have been researching this airplane for some time with no success. Just some small pictures in the internet. Do you know of a good drawing of the plane? I´d like to convert one of my old Matchbox Blitzes. Cheers, Lúcio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi, Lúcio Vacuform conversion use to be on the market for Rolls-Royce He 70, but I am not sure, whether it is still available today. It was a part of several different AM vacuform engines for that kit. Actually I still have it somewhere as Kestrel powered He 70 appeals to me, too.

Lúcio Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi, Jure! I didn´t know about this Airmodel engine set. Let´s start the hunt! Do you remember if the conversion included painting instructions? Cheers, Lúcio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lúcio Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Edit. Just did a Google search. The conversion set was made by Classic Plane and includes painting instructions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I am sorry, Lúcio, I thought that AM usually stands for After Market. Will dig into my stash, try to find He 70 kit with conversion set and post more about it later. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Could not find it, sorry. It is there, buried in stacks of boxes somewhere, but unless I find it by chance, it is lost forever. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lúcio Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I understand you. There´s a lot of kits that i'm sure I have but can´t find in the stacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have managed to lose a whole ATR 72! Who knows where l put it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hi, Britman Some six or seven years ago a Dragon's Ta 152 H-1 in 1/48, until then quite tame and well-behaved, somehow turned into stealth fighter and is being evading detection ever since. I am thinking about installing a plastic detection equivalent of both Home Chains long-wave radars, as traditional methods, like opening all the boxes and checking their contents proved useless. Any at least semi-rational explanation of such phenomena would be most welcome. Cheers Jure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I currently have an XActo knife AWOL in my stash. I did find the "full size" diagonal cutters, thank goodness. And recently, in with "the rest of the parts" for a chop and swap conversion I found two bottles of paint, a pin vise, and a large-ish razor saw. But most worrying, perhaps, are the three Airfix 1/48 Seafire 47s and two (of 3) Spit 22s. No matter, just the excuse I needed to buy a couple more... bob p.s. I should point out that I, too, would like to do this particular He 70. Edited September 7, 2016 by gingerbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Classic Plane still lists it in their catalogue, but it is a full resin kit including decals from my understanding: CPR 30 - Heinkel He.70 G ( british RR-Kestrel engined) - €19,95 Check the German shop Modellbau Studio Rhein Ruhr: http://www.classic-plane-mrr.de/ You will have to send the owner Detlef Schorsch an e-mail to order. It is a small bricks and motar shop with limited opening hours and a very rudimentary website but very trustworthy. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Hi! Missing kits do surface occasionally. Few months ago Hasegawa/Italeri Bell 206 in 1/48 appeared after hiding skilfully for some three years. It turned out that I put it into C-119 box to save storage space and then forgot about it. With a bit of luck the same will happen with missing He 70 kit and the old Kestrel conversion.

andym Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) This is about the only drawing I can recall as seeing: http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/he70.html I'll have another check through my refs tonight.

occa Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Herr ^^ Schulze you're much too harsh on Herr Schorsch, he went through a lot of bad luck last year (health problems, water burst in his house ... etc). He's an idealist who puts much work in providing a small specialist model shop to the interested people. One should be able understand and tolerate delays from a small business, I sometimes too had to phone him twice but in the end he always delivered the ordered goods.

stevehnz Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) I have bought from Detlef on a couple of occasions though not since he had his various issues. I did have to send a "nudging" email but other than that I found him obliging & friendly. I will use him again. Very likely for one of these kits, though he has several other bits & bobs I'm keen on.

stevehnz Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Nice shot Chris, better than anything I found on the net, now if you've got a front three quarter angle too........ I wonder how hard it would be to scratch the front of this onto one of the old MB/Revell ones? Steve.

dogsbody Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 If I have a chance, I'll look through my references today. We're in the midst of getting new flooring installed in the house and there's a bit of upheaval going on. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 It's a smashing pic. I am somewhat bemused, though, as P. St. John Turner is surely the only person ever to believe that Hucknall (now sadly closed as of last year) was ever in Yorkshire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another once thriving town becomes a ghost town. No wonder I haven't heard from my auntie in a while . I wonder where she moved to? Is Mansfield still open ?

TonyTiger66 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hello Lùcio, I knew I had it somewhere. The Airmodel vac form kit. Yesterday I used a scanning app on the iPhone, on the one page (printed both sides) plan sheet. I hope this helps. https://www.flickr.com/gp/144781950@N05/671ya3 https://www.flickr.com/gp/144781950@N05/P1F46H Best regards TonyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lúcio Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Bringing back to life an old thread! Thanks for the informations. I even found an Airmodel kit in eBay! But wait: Classic Plane have a new Kestrel-powered He-70 listed, this time using the ICM kit as basis. I think I will have a go at this one. In the meantime, another picture.

Jure Miljevic Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi, Lúcio Stick with Classic Plane offer. I bought Revell/ICM He 70 and this kit set, as far as surface details are concerned, new standards for quality. I think this had been debated somewhere on Britmodeller, but I cannot recall the topic title. Cheers Jure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
