1/48 Monogram / Heinkel He-111 H 6

by Tolga Ulgur

This is my 1/48 Monogram Heinkel He 111 H 6 finished in the markings of  “KG-100” during 1942.  This kit was a present from one of my closest friend in 1995. In the end I decided to build it this year.

         The surface detail is finely engraved.  The kit went together well except for some areas like the undersides of the wing roots.  This area needs some minor sanding operations.

The clear parts are nicely done except for the canopy part on the top of pilot seat.  It has some fit problem.  I  used a “Cuttıng edge Black magic canopy mask” while painting the canopy.  The kit is built OOB except for the Superscale decal sheet  # 48-838

         The painting was done with the Gunze Sangyo acrylics.  The underside color is RLM 65 and the top surfaces are RLM 70 / 71.  The interior of the cockpit is painted with  RLM 66 from Tamiya ,and the wheel wells  with Gunze RLM 02.

The model is finished by adding exhaust stains weathering after the overall artist oil paint washing .
