Very nice start...wish I had seen this last year when I built the same kit. You were right to protect the tailwheel strut....I didn't and broke mine three times! Revell kits of this age are troublesome, both in the detail and those instructions need to be revised big time.
Great model Greg, Revell models were always something I'd tried to avoid but it's good to see one with recessed panel lines for a change. I applaud your skills and patience, once again you've done an amazing job. Best wishes to you for the house move , I know it can get very stressful but not as stressful as making a Revell model kit.
Kits have came a long way since I last built one. Even though you had to make quite a few adjustments to it, I still think it is a lovely kit just from watching, thanks.
I prefer larger scale models myself. The reason in my case is simple; I have MS and my manual dexterity has diminished. If I tried to build a 1/72 scale, it would be an exercise in frustration and despair. Plus bigger is better!
Perhaps Border Models will make a 1/35 HE111 to go with their 1/35 scale Stuka, Bf109 and new FW190. It makes sense for companies to make 1/35 planes to go 1/35 scale military miatures which is a huge industry. Military modelers gave up on 1/32 tanks decades ago and 1/32 airplanes are strange looking in a diorama with 1/35 vehicles and soldiers. Tamiya introduced 1/48 range of military models to go with their 1/48 airplane kits a couple of decades ago and has met with great success.
Damn, Greg, for a moment I thought you were doing the 1/72 He111 (revell 04315). I got all excited and knew you were going to motivate me to tackle that old b***h after all. I'v been dreading it and its raised panel lines for so long, but enough about me ! I've seen this vid for only 01:51 and I know I'm not going to regret the rest of it. You are the downest ;-) to earth when it comes to old kits and their peculiarities.
I love all of these enormous models you build (I've never been interested in 1/32 until seeing your vids), but I have to ask where how you display and store them? A video showing your finished collection would be a delight to see.
Great video, as ever - I love these large scale 'planes, (the first video of yours I saw was the 1/24th scale Stuka). But one question, when was this nice weather? Must have missed that! I've obviously spent too much time indoors sticking bits of plastic together to notice ! 😀
