1/72 Heinkel He 60D, AIM Fan Model


Recommended Posts

 Good day, ladies and gentlemen! Let me present you my next model from Ukrainian manufacturer "AIM". The kit is typical "shortrun" with its specific defects. "Just from box" making. Only flag on tail made by handmade stencils. Add "Miniworld's" gun MG-15 and rigging.

Stunning and I love it. :goodjob:

Can I ask, what colour/ paint you used for the overall colour?

 

Stuart

As you know, it was RLM 63, and I used Tamiya acryl XF25 + a few drops of XF2 for overall and just used pure XF25 to modulate the bottom surface.

Fuad, your painting and finish is really excellent as always.  Also the detailing of this kit looks much better then former AML one. 

However, if I may tell it - I have a feeling that it is a bit  a low rider... I mean - the distance between floats and fuselage seems to be too short in this kit compared to proportions of real He-60. Or maybe it is soemthing about the photos only...

I have similar impression. Had these floats some kind of shock-absorbers?

It may well be that this is a constructive flaw of the model. But at the same time, this may be the difference between the flight and landing configuration. It may also be the difference between the versions of this aircraft. In your photo, for example, an earlier version. In any case, thank you for your attention to my model. Maybe your comment will be for someone the basis for a thorough rework of the rack chassis of this model.
