He111H-22 missile-carrier
This is my latest build using the ICM He111 and the Tamiya V-1 flying bomb. Although there are a few issues with the Heinkel, it does build up into a nice model and looks good alongside the V-1, which has no issues at all in construction. The Heinkel represents an aircraft from 8./KG3 during the summer of 1944 at Venlo, in the Netherlands. More of the build can be seen in the 'Imperial German...' GB, and there is also a You tube video on my channel here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G4Wh5smpME
Thanks for looking in... ;-).
Absolutely wonderful job, Paul!
Thank you, Spiros ;-).
Excellent result, Paul @paulh
Thanks for sharing the video which contains lots of valuable information.
Thanks, John. Glad you liked the video ;-).
Really very nice!
Thanks, Emmet... you're very kind with your comments. Much appreciated ;-).
Well done, Paul.
Thanks, John... much appreicated ;-).
Super-special. Build & finish are dy-no-mite...with particular focus on weathering...check-out those exhaust stacks...oh my.
Hi, Bob... thank you for your comments. I had a little chuckle to myself when you commented about the exhausts... it just serves to remind me that oftentimes, it's the smaller details that catch the eye, and indeed, improve a model. Really pleased you like the end result, and thanks for looking in... ;-).
Excellent result, looks great.
Thanks, Chas... it turned out rather well. Thanks for looking in ;-).
G'day Paul (@paulh),
This is a great build and the attention to detail with the scrap build bits is worth it.
Does the V1 only fit when the aircraft is upside down or do you have a way of hanging it from the aircraft?
Liked!
Thanks, Michael... glad you like the final outcome. The V-1 was placed onto the supports for the purposes of taking the photos. The supports are rather delicate and I didn't want to even temporarily attach it, as I'd only have to remove it with a little careful pressure which in turn, may have risked damaging and/or losing them and then having to redo everything. Also, I wanted to show the V-1 on its own merit, both with the wings attached and in the stowed position, with the wings on the trolley. As far as I can determine, the missiles were stored without their wings attached until it came time for them to be physically attached to the suspension rack under the fuselage.
Very cool looking build! Thanks for sharing.
