Tomcat's 1/72 Matchbox Heinkel He115

Post by Tomcat64 »

Here are the reveal shots for my 1/72 Matchbox Heinkel He115 floatplane.

Considering the age of the moulds this went together relatively well with just some minor fit & short-shot issues to resolve.

The build thread is here if you want to take a look.

Thanks as always to anyone who stopped by to take a look & offer encouragement - this one was a lot of fun :cheers2:
Cheers, Neil
