This is the RM HE-111 1/48. Pretty much a straight forward build with some small bites added here and there. It did required some filling and If I were to do it again I would find some AM landing gear for her.

Looks great—how did you replicate the wooden hard-stand?
Hmm, I can never get a hardstand to look that real - but it does seem a little overscale! [:D]
Looks good from here, I really like the white cowlings & panels [Y]
My first build I posted here some years back was a bird sitting on that old deck and I had more comments about that runway than my build… so from then on I have used it as a back drop.
Thad
Now that’s funny! (Just like a striped cat in a certain other thread…) But seriously, nice job on the paint, looks like some subtle streaking along the wings. What is the interior of that kit like? I’ve never built an He-111. (Of course it would have to wait in line behind some other twins I have in the stash! [:$])
lile [:P] some more picture near the pilot’s office?
Looks great Thad
Very nice build. I like the 111 alot, must get one of mine built soon, and if i can get it to look like that i will be well happy.
Very nice Thad…i like the white tips…
I built the same one a while back…it was the first kit I built when I came back into modeling…had the same fit issues and remember the landing gear was tricky…now that I think about it…its sitting in a box still packed from when I moved…you know you have inspired me to dig it out and display it next to my He-177…the comparison should be interesting…
again nice bird…and I wouldn’t mind seeing a close up of the office…

Weathered, nice job!
agree…nice weathering…matches the deck…also noticed no swastika…
Very nice job!
Do you intend to apply an aftermarket swastika?
Monogram provides a full interior for the pilot as well as bulkheads and interior detail for the defensive gunner position.
If I recall, the gear bays also have detail.
Well worth a purchase!
Wish Merlins were available, I’d like to build a post war Spanish version.
Good to see you posting pics again! Looks good - why no swatstika? Now go out and put some sealer on that deck!
Very nice build…love the subtle weathering looks like it just got back from a tour in Tunisia or something.
HEY who took my swatstika’s? must have been the swatika police.
Bronto you and your cat are going to have to prove to me with reference pic’s that the Germans used sealer at their airfields.
Thad
A real beauty. Love the build.
The only comment I iwll make on the wood is that I sure do wish I could replicate that look.
Here you go Thad - A rare and in color picture of the results of the sealer used by the Germans -note the correct way it has weathered unlike the unrealistically overdone approach you have taken!
What is that something the fur ball has for a scatch-en post.
I think your picture is later on after the war because at the time of my build raw materials were not to be had and they would have had to use what was on hand.
Thad
oh this typical answer to the end of the war, everyone knows that German engineering had solved the problems of supply.
