Giampiero Piva Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 A work of some time ago; the RS kit is good, but, like all models of this type, it requires some modifications and a fair number of additions, particularly in the area of the engine and its radiator and in that of the wheel wells. The rather bare cockpit also needs numerous additions. The wheels in the kit are too small, so they have been replaced with those of a Bf109 F. The model represents a B-1 from Industrieschützstaffel, a squadron formed by the pilots of the company a protection of the Heinkel factory in Rostock-Marienehe in September 1939. The camo is in RLM02 (or RLM63) integral (mixture of Humbrol Enamels), entirely brushpainted; the decals are partly those of the RS, partly come from other sheets and the one relating to the indications of the flaps on the left wing was printed by me. Hope you like it. Thanks for your attention. Criticisms and suggestions welcome. Giampiero Piva 69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hats off to an accomplished brush painter. Clever work on the cockpit internals and wheel wells. It's turned out very nicely. Good to see the less mainstream types presented here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Excellent detailing! This really is outstanding work in 1/72, Giampiero. The modern features of the fighter (360° canopy!) are very well represented in your model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russmeister 101 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Great finish on this Giampiero!! Your brush painting skills are top shelf! I've never heard of a factory staff forming their own defence squadron! Today is a learning day, thank you! Bravo!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Nice modeling on this one! Love the scratchbuilt extras too. How did you handle the canopy on your RS kit? I recall it was quite the challenge to get it to fit correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoZG Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Hi Giampiero, this is great build. I am glad you took care of the canopy which has height problem and this is the most visible fault of RS kit. Actually, I think this is the first build of RS kit with corrected canopy that I am aware of. Great! I would like to ask you if you could show us how did you fabricate this part: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuraiwarrior Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Hi Giampiero, A very nice job of the He-112. Deeply impressed with the brush painting of the kit. Thanks for the information on the extra work involved, it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 A most excellent He 112, detailed and brush painted by a perfectionist! Regarding Clashcityrocker's remark above, one might be tempted to call the Spitfire a British Heinkel. It's alleged that R.J. Mitchell was inspired by the Günter brothers' Heinkel He 70, when it comes to the elliptic wing planform of the Supermarine Type 300. Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Congratulations for the great model and thank you for the tutorial! Were the exhausts you`ve used made specifically for the He 112B or were they the same as for other fighters? I`m looking to build one myself and that`s one of the things I`d like to improve on mine too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Giampiero, my only criticism is that there are no criticisms. Flawless precision. Well done my friend. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
