Pokraczny modelik wodnopłatowca z sił powietrznych "Adolfa"
Jest nim samolot He-115 B-1 w barwach 1./KFIGr.406 z bazy Trondheim , z Norwegi 1942 Samolot ten brał udział w ataku na słynny konwój PQ-17 .



Jako ciekawostka może być fakt że samolot ten posiadła pływaki o wzmocnionej konstrukcji ,przez co poza lądowaniem na wodzie ,mógł też to czynić to na lądzie oczywiście pokrytym śniegiem.Co nie bylo zbyt trudne jako ze te samoloty w większości operował w rejonach daleko północnych

Google translate of Ryszard's text:
Grotesque model of wodnopłatowca Air Force "Adolf"
It is the plane He-115 B-1 in the colors 1./KFIGr.406 database Trondheim, Norway in 1942 with This aircraft took part in the famous attack on convoy PQ-17 as a curiosity may be the fact that the aircraft possessed floats with reinforced construction, thus beyond the landing on the water, it could also do it on land covered in snow. Of course was not too difficult since these planes mostly operated in the far northern regions

That's a very nice looking He-115. Great camo and weathering.

Ryszard,
Simply a fantastic build. Your painting, and especially your weathering has that "well used but not abused" look.

Hi Ryszard,

Excellent work indeed! The model is not easy to build, especially the floats so you have really done a great job...

Hi Ryszard

Very nice! I really like the weathered temporary white paint. The kit would look great sat on a beaching trolley.

All the best
