Paul, Sweet build ! I luv the livery. Keep them coming, Mr. Happy

Very sharp and nicely done build Thadeus. Mr. Happy

Nice to see the old kits done very well.

Outstanding! Thadeus, Great build and thanks again for posting your feedback on both brands bugs. Take care and keep knocking out those kits. Mr. Happy

This is my He-111 H-14 commission build. It the Italeri 1/72 He-111 (H-22) with a V-1. The original mold dates back to 1976. There’s not much detail within the cockpit and none in and around the bomb bay. There’s a fair amount of flash and warpage to this dated mold. The kit goes together well enough however the directions can be a bit obscure at times. Another frustration that was encountered during the build was the lack of positive alinement points for the landing gear doors. Fortunately I had the old Squadron Walk Around and the Kagero Heinkel He-111 book.

The first thing that comes to mind is : Mr. Hobby - Mr. White Surfacer 1000. I’m certain others will chime in with their go to alternative to the Tamiya Primers. Best of luck with your project. Mr. Happy

Such a beautiful job. It truly looks amazing. It still blows me away that it’s a Monogram/Revell A-6E. Top notch all the way Wardog! Mr. Happy

Thanks for the advice all. I’ve got my work cut out for me. Not to mention a quest for the elusive Xtracolor Yellow. Time to get out some plastic spoons and airbrush the different Yellows I’ve collected so far for a comparison. Again many thank to one and all of your efforts, suggestions, insights. Mr. Happy

Nice work on both bugs. As ALF has mentioned you certainly have a great deal of choice challenges to overcome during your quest to make an accurate representation of the the particular birds your modeling. Your research shows that you are committed towards these builds and it’s been beneficial to those of us who are not only cheering you on but are also passionate about the subject. Lean into it and keep up with your great research and work. Mr. Happy
