1/48 Heinkel 70 “Rayo” Spanish Civil War
AZ Model kit with their additional photo etched set. Eduard MG15, home made vac canopy and extra cockpit work. Camera and frame added to internal under fuselage window area. This is another labor intensive limited run kit.
That is very cool
Thanks George.
You are the master of the unusual rarely seen aircraft. And difficult kits as will. You are a true modeler with patience. Excellent work. Great paint work and photos as well. This is the first time I have seen this subject built in any scale. Lot of He-111 wing heritage on that bird. Thanks for sharing such a rare sight.
Thanks Chuck, I'm humbled by your comments.
You can see the evolutionary lines starting to take shape. This is unusual, interesting work, Dale. Really nicely done, also, with excellent paint work.

Appreciate your nice comments. You're right about the lines, there's no doubt it's a Heinkel design.
Love your work. Great job. ?
Thank you Paul
Excellent! I have this kit and therefore know how medieval it is. You achieved very nice result with very little.
Cheers,
Aleks
Thanks Aleksander. I like your description medieval, it describes this kit well. I've got the Admiral kit of the He170 in the stash. I'm not in any hurry to start it!
Good looking "Rayo" Dale, never seen this kit done before. Looks good.
Glad you like the model Tom.
Nice work, Dale. That’s the first one I’ve seen built and you did a marvelous job.
Thanks John for the positive comment
Great work on a very ungainly-looking bird, though as noted, you can see the genesis of the 111 in the planform. May have to add a 1/72 version to my stash!
Thanks Greg, the ICM kit in 1/72 looks good from what I've seen in photos on line. It certainly will be more refined than the AZ kit.
I'll echo that I have never seen this pig of a kit done better. Truly amazing result!
Thanks for the positive comments Tom. You're right the kit is a bit of a swine, but if you really want a He 70 in 1/48...
Wow !
I don't think I have ever seen another one of these built up before. Lately you have been posting up some very obscure stuff and like your other builds this one looks fantastic.
You checked all the boxes with this one !
Spanish Civil War markings
He-70 aircraft ... rare
1/48 scale
Excellent paint and construction
All of this equals two big thumbs up, a pat on the back followed with a "well done buddy !"
Plus a "liked" button was pressed.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your work with us.
Louis you're really too kind! Honestly, your comments are greatly appreciated.
