Lanmi Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 New Airfix He-111 was worth waiting for all these years. Great kit, straightforward build, OOB except for the Eduard canopy mask and seatbelts. Gunze colors were used. Weathering was done with Mig fluids and artist oils. As my several latest kits, this one was also started in the Group build but finished well after deadline. 62 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Excellent! If it was mine I'd use some dark pigments to add the characteristic exhaust stains underneath, but a splendid build nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Yes, that's very good. You handled the difficult canopy frame painting so well. I'd do the exhaust staining too but I'd use oils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 When one talks about WW2 luftwaffe bombers the He-111 is always the first to spring to my mind, and yours is a true beauty! Well done! Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Walter E Kurtz Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 A very good rendition of this kit. Thanks for showing it. I did this same kit last year but in the desert colour scheme. I found the kit to be excellent and i enjoyed it ! I like your weathering, especially on the undersides.. Well Done! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainierHooker Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Nice clean Heinkel. I’ve got one of the new Airfix kits waiting in line to be built. Thanks for the motivation to get it nearer the top of the pile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remus389 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Looks like it is not 1/72 but 1/48 considering the quality. Very pretty model. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Masking the greenhouse and its paintwork can make or break a He-111, but yours is top notch. I'm sorely tempted to get one of these, great work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
