Heinkel He 111H-6 - KG26


Mig88

Recommended Posts

Here is a Minicraft 1:144 Heinkel He 111H-6 I built back in 2015. It represents 1H+MM, of KG26, Luftwaffe, based in Italy.

 

It was built mostly OOB but using the Matador Models white metal cockpit part. The guns were are replaced by new ones from scrap plastic and stretched sprue. The missing underfuselage aerial, wing pitot and engine carburettor intakes were also made from stretched sprue. I also tried to improve the shapes of the propeller blades. General fit of parts was poor, especially around the underside gondola and wing roots.

 

The kit was fully painted and varnished with brush. Decals were those of the kit except the swastikas which came from another sheet.

 

Thanks for looking and, as always, all comments are welcome.

Miguel

My goodness Miguel.  You have been going the micro scale of 1 / 144 for quite some time now.  I really like this He-111 especially given the tiny nature of the kit.  Superb my friend!!!!! :like:

Wow remember working my way through minicrafts 144 range as a kid, never got mine looking anywhere as good as yours. If you hadn't have said this was 144 i wouldn't have believed it. Lovely tidy job.

Fantastic model, 1/72 is small for me so cannot even think about 1/144

That's really nice Miguel. It would be good to have a coin or something similar in one of the photos so we can see how tiny it really is!

 

Craig.

 

Thanks a lot Craig. I've been adding a coin to one photo of each kit as a habit since a couple of years ago. These photos were taken before then.
