Hi all. I just finished this build for the Battle of Britain GB. Its the Hasagawa 1/72 and it was a fantastic kit to build. Go on over and have a look. Heres a taster.

Great Build[tup]
Gorgeous build of one of my fav a/c…I have this and the JU 88 in the stash (Hasegawa 1/72nd)…
excellent job mike, the interior and clear parts are great. it will look good sitting around all those 109’s.
She is [:P]. Congratulation on great build.

WOW! You are really cranking out these outstandalicious birds! Well done fella. [:D]
It simply exhudes spastic unadulterated, enzymatic talent. The photo etch detailing looked like it would take a surgeons hands, well maybe a vet but you get my drift![tup]
excellent build Guy. I’m luvin that cockpit, even more amazing in braille scale.
Most excellent work, Guy!
Cheers Chums, one and all. It was a great kit and i highly recommend it to anyone wanting to do one. I used practically no filler on the thing at all. Everything fitted like a glove. Clear glasswork. What more could a man ask.
Im going to do another soon (ITs jumped up my todo list) in the desert camo. I think its a later H-6. After the Supply and support GB, an Avenger, etc etc etc LOL.

Very nice work- interior looks great!
You relly are cranking them out. And the quality is not suffering at all. Great job. I have to agree with you that this kit is a joy to build and easily makes it to the “Kits I wnat to build again” list.
Man Lufty, I can’t believe how fast you’re cranking out the builds this year - nor can I believe the quality of all of them! Super stuff, that canopy and pit are top notch. [tup][tup]
Thx again, its really not as fast as you lot make out. Im just lucky in the fact that my future ex-missus, loves watching soaps. Id rather dig out my eyes with pins. Also i work shifts as a bus driver (Didnt half frighten a few passengers with the beard BTW) which gives me mornings or afternoons free to model. I also get odd days off. All of which allow for unmolested modelling time while TFEM is at work. If you honest, im sure you all would do more if you could.

Super work on the Heinkel. Your cockpit work is simply amazing.

Lufty,
Outstanding build!!! I love the HE-111’s in any variant and wanted to ask if you could give me your tips on masking the cockpit on this glorious bird? Thanks!
Lufty, another fantastic job[:O] The masking is incredable!!!

Heres my tip. Buy Eduard masks, the Kabuti tape type (Yellow tamiya tape stuff). Not the Grey-green vinyl type mask. I find they struggle to stay down.I always Future the canopies 1st. This allows them to be attached with super glue without fogging. Use an opti visor and ensure they are perfectly placed. Once they are all done. Go round the edges with a cocktail stick and burnish the edges down. The future helps with the bond anyhow but better to be safe than sorry. Lastly, on a big greenhouse like this, take your time. Dont start it if your in a rush.

Wow!
Very beautiful work, Guy![tup] Your photos cheat the size up to 1/48!
