1/72 Italeri He 111H-6

[Mikey Ohhhhh]

Going through some old PB albums and came across this so figured it would be interesting to share. Believe it or not, in a past life I built nothing but 1/72! I also had a full head of hair, lol! Anyway this is the ooooold 1/72 Italeri He 111H-6. Not a bad kit for it's day, raised panel lines, sparse cockpit, etc. I believe I used a CMK cockpit set to dress it up and few other bits and pieces (supply containers from the Roden kit). This aircraft was supposed to portray one of the units taking part in the Stalingrad re-supply effort. The kit decals were awful, disintegrated when they hit the water so I used a combination of decals from the spares box. Funny when you look back at some of your earlier efforts you realize how far you've come.

Anyway thanks for looking in on my blast from the past!

NIce. I really like that scheme too. Makes me want to dust off my big boy Revell 111....I just have no idea where I'd put it.

Have you gotten around to that one yet yourself?

I've got the P and the H-6 in the stash. I'm assuming everyone will do doing BoB GB's next year to commemorate the 75th anniversary so I'm thinking I'll drag out the P for that one. I really like the KG 55 birds when they switched to night bombing and painted the undersides black and subdued the insignias.

The things is a beast though, will have to build a display case first!

Wow I remember that one from ARC Days! Still a fantastic job thou!

[Mikey Ohhhhh]

Yeah the good old days at ARC! I think my entire 1/72 collection got tossed in the trash when the ex sold the house. The 1/32 projects are safe at Paul's place (for now).

[Dave j]

Really? Shame your 72nd builds were awesome!

[Mikey Ohhhhh]

I've still got a few FineMolds 109G-6's in the closet. Might throw one together for the "Fighters of the Reich" GB going on here.

Like I said elsewhere... I know what house is a good choice to burglarize

Take all the Shermans, he'll never build them anyway!

I can split 'em between me and Wechsler
