Revell 1/32 He-111

[cnq]

Hi guys,

 

  It's my largest build so far. Hope you like the pics.

 

 He 111 P-1 of 5./KG 54 "Totenkopf-Geschwader", Coulommiers,  France 1940

 

From Wiki:

France and the Low Countries
Main articles: Battle of the Netherlands, Battle of Belgium, and Battle of France
Operation Fall Gelb began on 9 May 1940, with preliminary minelaying operations beginning before midnight. KG 54 was committed to the invasion of Belgium, in support of the German 6th Army. The immediate goal was to suppress enemy air power. I./KG 54 bombed the Aéronautique Militaire Belge (Belgian Air Force – AéMI) air base at Antwerp-Deurne. A second operation was carried out and elements of it bombed ships in the Scheldt Estuary. II./KG 54 attacked Marck airfield and Calais harbour, the first operation carried out by KG 54 in the Battle of France. III./KG 54 carried out strikes against airfields at Courtrai, Belgium and Saint-Omer-en-Chaussée, France.[10] III./KG 54 was intercepted by Royal Air Force (RAF) 607 Squadron which claimed three He 111s destroyed and another damaged over Roeselare—German losses are unknown in this battle.[11] In the afternoon III./KG 54 bombed rail targets in the Ghent–Antwerp–Brussels area. The bombers were intercepted near Lille by 3, 85 and 607 Squadrons. 8 Staffel was suffered heavily, losing six He 111s. Staffelkapitän Fritz Stadelmayr was lost; two of his crew were killed, one was captured by the Belgians and two by the British.[12]

Great job, that last picture really demonstrates how big that beast actually is.

 

 

[James Rademaker]

Excellent job, museum quality build in my opinion. I agree it’s a very large model. I hope you have a nice large space to display it.

That's really good, well done.

[RBrown]

Very impressive!

Top shelf work! You don't often see He 111 builds linked to thee Battle of France, and I think that adds to the interest.

Really excellent, and those Revell kits are not that expensive.

Thank you friends.

 I also built another 1/32 He-111 in desert scheme. It's hanging on wall in my man cave

That desert scheme looks really good. It's a big bird, you wont think that saying "HE-111". 

 

Wonder when we will get the new 2021 tool version over here.

There’s a new 2021 tool version of the He111 kit?  Hadn’t heard that.

That’s a re-tool, not a new kit

Not even a re-tool.  Just a rebox of the Dragon kit.
