Dunny Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 You've done far better than mediocrity - that's a beautiful finish, and very impressive in that scale! What did you use to finish the exhausts - they look awesome! Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkerR. Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Great model! I have also used the Tamiya RLM 70 and 71 on a model and the contrast is very low. Other manufacturer paints differ more in tone. But on your model the finish is superb! Volker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Superb, this would catch your eye on a display, huge and beautifully finished 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Excellent result. Love the low contrast camo, I can see two colours but I'm struggling to spot the edges. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Mercy, that looks huge. Love the detail in the cockpit and the overall build and finish is splendid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The clarity of the transparencies is just plain excellent - how did you achieve this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Looks excellent to my eyes - I bet it must take up a lot of display space in this scale! Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispisme Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Thanks very much for your kind words! it is a big model. And when I bought it (as a new release back in...2011?) it was very intimidating due to it’s size but having now built (all in 1/32) 2 HK Models B-17s, 3 Ju 88s, a B-25 and 2 He 219’s it no longer seemed so intimidating. I’ve always thought it was a classic looking airframe and tried to do the best I could on it (another reason it took so long to do it, I didn’t feel I had the skills to do it justice) Nothing was done to the clear parts, no future no polish...nothing, that’s all Revell, right out of the box. I did build up and add internal framing to the clear parts to give the structure a more 3D look though. As well, I riveted the airframe with an RB riveting tool, a very nice tool for this kind of work...and my wife supplied the antenna wire via long blonde hair. Nice to see women getting into modelling...plastic modelling, not bikini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Superb all round result there. A beautifully finished "Spade". Always loved the lines of the He-111, and equally nice to see the big Revell kit built. We don't see that many. Got two in the stash myself, the P and H. Haven't got around to starting mine yet as I have an uncontrollable urge to build a CASA 2.111 from the H, but so far failed to nail down any convincing looking Merlin power eggs.

stoohoo Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looks stunning Chris, dripping with Teutonic malevolence The guns and sights look brilliant, were these kit parts or did you replace them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! The kit guns and ammo. rolls are hugely under scale (about the only parts I could “ complain” about, I bought Aires guns and ammo rolls which are a very nice improvement (highly recommended) and then upgraded those guns with master brass barrels. The PE. Gunsights came in the Aires set, I just glued them to the master barrels. For anyone doing a build of the model, I’d suggest to get the Montex masks for national markings, (waaaay nicer than decals) Eduard clear part masks and, possibly, the PE landing gear bays. But definitely get the Aires guns! The kit doesn’t ask for much else. HTH? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
