Failed Rival...1/48 Heinkel He112B-1, Royal Hungarian Airforce

[Reini78]

Thanks to fellow modeller Dale Travis who recently posted a lovely rendition of this kit on iModeler, I had to buy this kit too. Was a good timing, gave it to my dad today as a birthday present.

Gonna do the Hungarian version too.

as mentioned, they are very thin and the white is partially translucent, but I guess after the panel wash you won´t see it much

tailwheel added mast set

the cockpit-under canopy area is handpainted, have to do some repainting becuause there is no "border" line for the canopy

some more subtle weathering like exhaust stains to come and then it´s done
