OMG I want the glider version to complement my He-111Z....

I see some copy of the glider kit on Facebook second hand markets .

Some wip picture:
Fixed windows in the wings, out of my usual will just paint the inner in black, otherwise the wings structures must be scratched ..not this time



Wings tips glued to upper central section with plastic sheet spacers to avoid steps between upper sections



Tail structure without movable rudders



Flaps under pressure ..finished clips to glue the fourth too



Occupied surface of kitchen table



Today comparing picture with an hurricane and corsair sane scale



Continues tonight

I would rather say insane scale.

[BsYamato]

It's just 72 scale
Progress of tonight:

Finished to fill wing windows with plastic scraps ,then painted the inner wing in black instead to scratch too many invisible structures and glued last central piece of wings







Nose halves with glued structures



Painted numbers to easy identity engines nacelles when will glued to wings



6x engines ,nacelles and cowlings



Vertical fixed rudder part



And wheels



That's all for today

it is amazing that that thing could even get off the ground.

BSY, what a great start! I have the 321 - you are tempting me. make it stop, make it stop.

Paul, I, too, wondered how it did fly every time I see one.

[LyleW]

I know. kinda in a sort of place these days. Have a couple i'm considering.

[BsYamato]

It's an opportunity to have the larger GB about Messerschmitt Lyle , going on Guinness book
Also if B&V is included in the ME series someone could sign in a bv-222 or 238.... Almost a 138 sounds well
BTW put a nesserschmitt on the table

[BsYamato]

Some other gluing tonight but only this picture I did



Tomorrow more
