Adam Poultney Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Just a crazy idea....... I might attempt to build the 1/32 Revell He111. How difficult would it be, and would, given the time and patience, someone only 4/5 years into the hobby be able to manage it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How difficult would it be, and would, given the time and patience, someone only 4/5 years into the hobby be able to manage it? Look some builds up, and see. Though, as it's a recent modern tooling, apart from the actual size, it should be fine, it's not some limited run kit where everything has to be carved to fit Have a google, "revell he 111 1/32 build" there are build up on youtube and http://bowemodels.blogspot.com/2013/03/build-review-revell-132-heinkel-he111-p.html Quote In conclusion, this kit ranks right up there with the best I have ever built. It has one or two foibles, notably the maddeningly random parts arrangement on the sprues and the fact that the instructions are a little misleading in places. There are also one or two incorrect numberings as well - watch out. But the fit is as good as anything from TamiGawa (sic), better in many ways. This is astonishing considering the size of this model. The level of detail (with the possible exception of the lack of complete rivets) is similarly excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 4 years into scale modelling is more than enough to build the kit. It's big though, so be sure to have a big enough workbench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 My workbench is definitely big enough. If I do decide to build it, it's where to put the thing..... My ceiling is a tempting idea...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawzer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I did the 1/48 one and on the whole a nice kit (don't know if the 32nd is just a scaled up version mind you). the 1/48 is big so be warned (as said above 👍). i got back into modelling about 2 years ago and did this in February and it turned out ok. so, go for it fella! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the bad part - just think about building a 1/32nd scale Me-321 Gigant to go with it. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Cornes Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I normally either make or buy a suitable storage box before I build a large model so that it can live in that when its not on display at shows. If that's not your thing then build a glass topped coffee table and put it in a cabinet below! Simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a quick search, it looks like there is a 1/32 kit in existence for the Me-321, but I don't think it has been released yet, or if it ever will be.

Don149 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yes Adam , it`s a good kit that makes up into a smashing model . I would recommend the Eduard masking set for the big " greenhouse "and the other clear parts . Don . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
