Heinkel 111 H-2 finished


Recommended Posts

Construction continues, I ran into a mess of ejector pin marks to deal with in the flight deck area, not a good thing with a greenhouse flight deck. Filling and sanding progresses, while the Tamiya fine filler is drying between episodes I'm working on the resin bits.

Looks like a great idea but, no...I mean yes I have one but I use it on my teeth...It just wouldn't taste right after having Tamiya filler on it.:D

I do have whacks n whacks of sanding sticks though of all different sizes and shapes (made them myself from automotive body shop supply sanding discs)

here's a kind of before/after thing;

I didn't do behind the bomb bay, doubt much will be seen in there?

Thanks for looking

A bit more progress on the model, mostly painting stuff but, some assembly;

annnnd because I told them I would mention their product...(I had a few emails with them) Mission Models paint was initially used on the bombs but because it washed off during the decal application I had to repaint the bombs with Vallejo...seriously! the decal water washed off the paint!

I found ref's indicating the bomb bay and internals were RLM 02 but then saw pics that showed the bomb racks were painted RLM 66. I had a bit of confusion until I decided to paint the racks RLM 02 then RLM 66 overtop and weather back to the RLM 02 too look like the bomb racks had been repainted.

A comparison of the kit ammunition and the resin, the kit one looks a little small? I've got new examples on the way and some spares from the Ju-88 which for some reason are much better, even the defensive guns from the 88 kits are much better..oddly.

The weapons are horrible, I measured them up when I did a review of the kit for a model mag and they scale out to 1/48. How Revell made that mistake I don't know.

 

Well I'm glad to know I'm not high on glue fumes, maybe Revell was?

Some gluing, a major step for me,  done today

Found myself losing some bits I thought I had stashed away safely...so safely even I cant find them. Drat! So with some spare time and no real need to hurry ahead I decided the fuselage of the 111 although nice, could use some rivets. I decided to punch some rivet marks with an RB riveter.
