Re: Bluesteels Bombsite
Finally finished the He 115.
Glazing wasn't a great fit but other than that it all went together reasonably easily.

That looks rather good. Anymore due to pop out if the ether?

Nice to see you building again, Julian - will you be able to come to Telford this year?

Re: Bluesteels Bombsite
Lovely job. You've really brought out the best in that old kit.

Re: Bluesteels Bombsite
Started work on the Airfix Beaufighter TFX New Tool in it's 27 Sqn Burma guise, the family squadron - although it was Vulcans when my father joined
Although it seems to fit OK, I have suspicions that the wing join may be slightly over engineered.

Re: Bluesteels Bombsite
That He-115 looks incredible!
And don't fret about the beaudighter wing. Scrape paint at join lines and it will fit very nicely. The kit is brilliantly designed.

Heinkel looks terrific. The Beau is shaping up nicely.

Top work on the Heinkel. I don't envy you painting that canopy.

The Heinkel looks like "brand new kit, brand new mold" amazing job!
make me reconsider to make mine! if mine looks 50 % of yours, it worth it!

Re: Bluesteels Bombsite
I was surprised how well it went together as it was the Revell re-boxing of the Matchbox kit. Definitely a pleasant build, even if there is all that greenhouse to frameUral wrote:The Heinkel looks like "brand new kit, brand new mold" amazing job!
