Looking amazing as it comes together, my friend @v1pro!

Lots of effort put into this one, Bob. Shaping up nice. It just struck me that this kit doesn’t feature a full span lower wing which is a huge help when building Vacs.

Thanks Spiros @fivete, John @ johnb, Lis @lis and John @j-healy.

In regard to this being a difficult kit, to be honest this is really not too bad. My mind was prepared for this build so that makes this easier to deal with, plus I am enjoying this build very much. What really bothers me more are the short run kits that cost quite of bit to buy and then I have to clean/fix or replace nearly every single pieces. The way I see this kit, it is old and it is a vacu-form so in my head I am good with this. Lets see if I can smooth out the roughness from this build and in the end have a model that will look good from 2 feet away.

Lis @lis, I agree on your comment, this would have been easier to have a full span lower wing. I noticed the earlier Rareplane kits are set up like this model while some of their later releases has the lower full span moulded into to the sheet.

This looks like an amazing build, Bob @v1pro, maybe imodeler could start a reality TV show called “ Extreme modeling”...

those Horizontal Stabs sure seem large compared to the wings .

I read a book where the author interviewed former Luftwaffe pilots . I forget which one said it, but he said the 112 was better then the 109 ... but Willie Messerschmitt had better political connections with the Nazi leaders. He said the shape of the wings might have made it difficult in combat to distinguish the 112 from the Spitfire.

Jay @ssgt, that would be a cool program. I would like to see something like that to see more vacu-form builds in progress. I just hope it won’t scare off too many from this hobby.

The tail does look big on this little plane. Besides Willie with his better political connections, the He-112 plane took much longer to make compared to the 109, the wings took a lot of time to produce. Similar story on the He-111 bomber’s wings, the later 111’s had a straighter leading edge compared to the earlier ones….less time to build and cheaper.
