And here is the British Heinkel, as strange as this may
sound
To obtain this version a new nose was made and some other
parts were modified and added.
For some historic background and the step-by-step review and
construction post, please go here in this same blog:

The plane went trough a few modifications during its not
very long life, having a change of engines and other details, so check your
references if you attempt this conversion.
I acquired the decal set from Arctic Decals, with the
necessary new registration and the corrections needed for other images, so I
did not use the ICM decals.
I added in a few photos my scratchbuilt Thomson Bros
refueler, just to add some color to the scene.
Again, if you are interested in this variant, please check
the construction article to find what is needed and what was added to the ICM
kit, which, by the way, is far superior to the old Revell molds.
I understand this ICM kit was re-issued by Revell, but alas,
only in the drab, predictable, and frankly not at all uplifting military
variant.
This sort of obscure part of
aviation history is henceforth given its place in the modeling universe.
The only
"good" Heinkel.
As far as I remember Rolls Royce used one as an engine test bed.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Richard.
DeleteThe same plane sported several engines.
Excelente, un saludo. Armando Gil.
