Hi Mal!

Nice kit the 1/48 He111 of Revell-Monogram! You did a great job on it!
I bought one for 25 euros not long ago! Do you know why such a big kit, full of plastic, is a lot cheaper than most of the single engined fighters kits! OK, it's an old kit, but what a price/plastic ratio! Imagine it would be less expensive to build a Geschwader of monogram He111's than a Tamiya P-47 unit! Incredible!
Understand me well! I think the other kits should be cheaper! Not the He 111 more expensive!

Hi Mal. Congrats. Great build. Love the canopy framing. What did you use to mask them? Wingman out.

This is one of my all time favorite kits!, I did the land based camo first, and bought a second kit for over water version

Thanks guys, I was a little reluctant to put this up as a photo feature myself but as I have the editors rights and, as Rowan remended me, the winners of the MOM get a photo feature. So I hope you don't think I am being a little forward with this

Love the canopy framing. What did you use to mask them?


I used Parafilm M, as I usually do. It works well, although I have been having problems with canopy masking recently. See my Fw190D-9 on-line build and, when I finally get the pics up (later today), my Mosquito and Lysander on-line builds. They are all but sorted but this must be one of the most frustrating areas in modelling. I usually have no problems but these models, almost, turned into a nightmare.
