AnonymousA667 Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Time to get this underway before I run out of time! I've been putting this off in order to finish other stuff, but the other stuff still ain't finished so what the hell! peebeep
Mike Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I'm tellin'! A Moderator of this GB leaving it this late? Walrus... tell 'im off!
AnonymousA667 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Posted July 5, 2009 Yeah, somebody oughta do summat about it! peebeep
AnonymousFO98 Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I would Mike, but Paul is harder than me and i am a natural born coward this may be of interest found these in an album of an ICM Rayo build
AnonymousA667 Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Cheers walrus, very handy photos. This will be perforce a quick build and there's not much to see beyond the tiny apertures but it's nice to enjoy such references. I'm going to have to get another one of these to do D-UMIM, they look so splendid without the gun cluttering up the rear fuselage and with the elegant silver/black paintwork. peebeep

tornado64 Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 read something of intrest on wikipedia !! The main weakness of the He 70 design soon became obvious. The He 70 airframe was made out of so-called "electron metal", a very light, yet strong alloy of magnesium, which burns spontaneously in air when heated, and is only exhausted when covered in sand. A single hit from a light machine gun usually set the entire plane ablaze, killing the crew. The Hungarian He 70K fleet was promptly retired and replaced
AnonymousA667 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 p.m. me i have one i'd swap for the gannet aew 3 decals i need ...cheers in advance !! Okeydokey. With regard to the magnesium I think our Type 42's had the same problem in the South Atlantic. Oh and I will get around to posting some build pics, it is progressing! peebeep
AnonymousFO98 Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Heinkel, Heinkel, burning bright look forward to seeing the progress, Peebeeb
AnonymousA667 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 Ok here goes, interior bits assembled and blasted with paint: Very little to see from the outside so lets fix it together: No filler to the fuselage but a quick go over with some sanding sticks. The windows were either proud or not flush at all, so they were either sanded back and polished or filled up with copious quantities of Klear. The wings go together OK but my sample is short shot on the fairing to the starboard wing so there will be some tricky filling. The wing fuselage joints have been fettled but will require some filling treatment. peebeep
AnonymousFO98 Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 See what you meant about the lines of the civvie version, Peebeep swanky livery too! super clean build so far the wing location lugs look interesting i hadn't noticed that on my in box inspection
AnonymousA667 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Main components together. Not the best fitting kit Matchbox did and the wing fuselage joints need fettling prior to and after attachement. The centre section needs some cleaning up, but I haven't sorted that completely yet. peebeep

AnonymousA667 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 Eeeek!!! What happened to my He70? Under that gunge it lurks! Lots of touching up (ooh er, missus!) and making good to do. peebeep

AnonymousA667 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Completed just in time for Avon: No close inspection of the undercarriage please, it just wouldn't fit properly. peebeep
AnonymousFO98 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Glad you finished in time for Avon saw a He70 in the pics posted and wondered if she was yours looks a treat - love the camo could you pop a couple of piccies in the gallery please Peebeep?
AnonymousA667 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 looks a treat - love the camo I'm not planning on doing any more disruptive schemes in the near future! peebeep
AnonymousFO98 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Hehe Glad you haven't ruled out disruptive patterns in the long term Edit: just had another look at the build in the gallery - thanks for posting Peebeeb it does look good Yum Yum! What did you use to fill the trench lines with please? Edited August 25, 2009 by walrus
AnonymousA667 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 What did you use to fill the trench lines with please? There weren't any apart from the control surface lines. Everything else is in very fine raised lines that virtually disappear under airbrushed layers of paint. peebeep
Bazza Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Coming in well late: peebeep Nice work,Paul. Intersting Camo scheme !! Cheers,Bazza.
AnonymousFO98 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) for some reason i thought the kit had the trademark furrows makes it easier for rescribing Hi Bazza have moved your post from the gallery to keep it clear for the piccies of builds Edited August 25, 2009 by walrus
