Martin's Heinkel Heavy

A Whiffery GB for any type of model. Simple decal changes, mild surgery or major. But all must have a story to back it up, no matter how silly or unbelievable.
The GB runs from 15 Sep through 16 Oct, and your host is FredK.

'fraid not, Zen. However, I did get some primer on the beast.

The seams are not too bad, but there are a number of areas that will need some more attention. Fair enough.

I also sanded down the prop spinner tips and cut down the back of one of the spinners to see how it looked:

And here's the comparison when mounted. That looks a lot more sensible to me.

That's as far as I get for a few weeks as I have to finish some Telford builds. Thanks for letting me take part; it's been a fun GB.

A sterling effort and it'll be worth the wait to see it finished when you can. Excellent job! :-D
Best wishes
