Since I kind of cleaned my model cabinet, I decided to take some pics of models I made in the past.
This is the Revell He-111 H-22 with V1 I build some years ago. (It's the same kit as released by Monogram, in the same configuration, although with different decals)
It's mostly build straight from the box with a few scratch build additions that were not included in the kit or were not correct for the given model. I also added the fuse for the V1. I used the exellent Aero Detail book on the He 111, which is among the greatest refferences for model builders imho.
The Mg 131 in the side and lower gondola were replaced by Mg81 Zwillings from Aires the MG 131 in the turret is also Aires and I made a "vane" for it, as seen on all He 111 turrets. The tail was also shortened, as the later He 111 varians had "schleppen" gear installed, to tow gliders. The kit has the earlier longer tail of the H-3.
Decals came from Aero Master. He-111 Pt. 2
The aircraft represents a H-22 flown by the Kommandeur and is well pictured in various books.
I studied the camo back then and decided to go with RLM 76 for the "clouds" instead of RLM 02 as described on the AMD decal instructions.
Since I'm currently rebuilding another 1/48 Revel H-22 into a Slovak A.F. H-10, it looked like a good idea to post this one.
I know know that the nose bola is of the wrong typy for the H-22. Revell simply included the earlier nose for the He-111 H, the H22 should of have a smaller bola for MG-FF based on the H-10/16.
