Great progress, bravo!
more photos close up would be good, too.

In fact I will use high viscosity, "simple" glue to attach the many windows. From adhesion point of view it will be sufficient and it is easy to remove.

But .. now I decided to refinish the main canopy, as the glued frame was impossible to paint accurately. I will use a slightly different strategy now. More to come soon... 8-)

Front section and B-stand completed.

Still missing the decals and the control wire from antenna to rudder.

Wonderful! Will you post some shots of the overall airplane? A picture taken outside might give it a true scale appearnce.

Thanks, Tom

After 1,5 years of work the Heinkel was finished today. For size comparison I have placed a Britain Motorcycler with it. The Britain is scale 1/32, the Heinkel is 1/50.

Thank you all for following this thread.

PS: I used Eagle Strike decals (Made in USA) for the Iron Crosses. The quality is outstanding. The Swastis are made in Germany :mrgreen: as Thermo decals. They need clear coat cover before application.

Please have a look at the gear. It was left unpainted as it was before. It is a good sign of real age of this model.

WOW!! A FANTASTIC FINISH OF ALL YOUR EFFORT!! It was worth watching the progress and you have to feel accomplished. You should also figure out a way to give us a "tour" of your other models some time. It appears that you have an impressive collection.

Congratulations Again!
Tom Sanders

Leaving the landgear as found was brilliant.
That is quite a model.
Did you ever discover who made it?
