#22 Cymru 1/32 Revell He-111 P

The start line is in site! My choice is the 1/32 He-111P from Revell. It's almost OoB, with a canopy mask and two extras from CMK.
1: Fuel fillers necks and life set
2: Wing fuel tanks
being used. This a/c is a big bugger and I chose it after much thought but the clincher was seeing a completed one at the Cosford model show!

Hey buddy, could i ask a favour could you use a third party upload site such as Flickr to host pictures, as using the fourm upload kills our bandwidth.

Finally all the fuselage internals, including the cockpit, have been built and painted. The fuselage halves can now be joined then we move on to the engines, wheel wells and bomb bays.

Thanks for all the comments guys :)

Cheers gents :) It's coming on slowly but surly. All the "halves" are now together and an initial coat of primer applied. Recent bench sessions have been about detail painting, wheels, undercarriage and internals etc. Now comes some major assembly!!!

The props are painted and, finally, the pain in the ass engines are on. The fuselage has been cut away to accept the CMK resin life boat compartment.

Fair enough
I am just lazy and letting a Porsche catch my attention rather than puttying and sanding wing and fuselage seams :shifty:
We shall get them done :thumb2:
