I fucking love Motörhead.
The music that I listen to, the bands that I love, the scene that helped me shape my identity; all of it would be unrecognizable without Lemmy Kilmister. The man was larger than life and left an impression on everybody he met, as evidenced by any interview he gave in his seventy years. Although I had never been to a Motörhead show, let alone met the man, I was genuinely upset to learn of his death in December of 2015. His music was undeniably coarse and aggressive, but it was music that if you didn’t like, then it wasn’t made for you. Uncompromising almost to a fault, Motörhead left a grimy whiskey stain on 70’s English rock, and by extension Metal, which could not and will not be wiped away.
Needless to say, I was over the moon when I saw Airfix was releasing a model of the Heinkel that assaulted the cover of Motörhead’s 1979 album “Bomber”. Don’t expect this to be a comprehensive history of the He 111; fuck that, that’ll be later. This video is going to be more of a build diary than a historical analysis. With all that out of the way, grab a bottle of Jack and let’s get started!
