That's a nice model, I actually built a monogram 1/48 scale model of a heinkel he 111 when I was younger, it was a blitz bomber version used in battle of Britain with black paint scheme and two large bombs carried externally, the he 111 is one of my favorite WW2 planes
I got this kit for my birthday built some of it and just got overwhelmed, today is a snow day i saw this video and somehow it motivated me to dust it off and resume building im currently on another break how ever i will hopefully have her finished up by the weekend
yup... when He-111 first joined the show, more than a few of cocky Allied fighter pilots found out the hard way that it wasn't yet another clumsy bomber. Heinkels didn't practically need an escort - I remember reading memoires by one of Stanisław Skalski's wingmen; he mentioned engaging one of those birds in a regular dogfight. Long story short: he had lost his Spitfire and felt pretty lucky to survive the encounter. Even one on one, Heinkels were not to be messed with. :)
@@MikoyanGurevich-xc7ft Agreed, :) And, apart from that, a good looking one too. I'm no engineer, but apparently some solutions they used were pretty ahead of their times. Fun fact: some say Heinkel was inspired by Polish PZL-37 Łoś, plans of which were supposedly stolen in the early 30s. I haven't found any proofs for that, but if you like light/medium WWII bombers - Łoś is definitely worth checking out. Not as famous as the German bird, of course, but constructed with quite a similar philosophy in mind. Cheers, take care!
A great looking bird ! The last 111 I did was a 1/48. And brush painted it ! I was an early teenager . same color scheme . was stationed in France . b o b
this was a good build. I know there are a couple of errors such as the ailerons but it is an older build and having seen some of you later builds I know your skills and knowledge have improved and you keep improving which is what it is all about.
The heinkel he 111 was originally designed as an airliner in 1930s, then the German luftwaffe made it into a medium bomber, wolf in sheep's clothing, the he 111 had an aerodynamic design and saw variety of roles in WW2 from bomber to transport
Thanks for this. I have the full Eduard "Big Ed" detail kit for mine. Perhaps I should make a video when I put mine together?? I'm going to practice my PE skills on other models first! Perhaps the Trumpeter 1/32 kit I have of the Stuka with "Big Ed" details next? Heck. I should make a video of that one too!?
Yet another amazing model, I been modeling for a while and you make my creations look amateur. I I didn't know this was a model you would think it's the real aircraft. Also love the music while watching your craftsmanship in display. You are truly an artist keep sending out videos I like getting tips on how to be a better modeller.
And besides of keeping ALL my boxes, inside I also keep the sprues AND the instructions sheets, clean and without any hand inscriptions.!!! The BIG problem, is that I am running out of space.!!!!! Nice kit.!! I dont have that one yet.!!!
really love this build Alex, i remember the first video that i followed with interest and it has really inspired me to build my models, keep up you great work, always nice to see one off your videos
Excelente !!! Hubiera estado bueno camuflarlo para invierno con muchos desgastes y rastros de fuego en el fuselaje y algún alerón roto, no tanto de desfile
You are a very skilled model builder that was always one of my favorite airplanes when I saw it in the movie Patton when it's straight George when he arrived in Africa you do nice work
You made a great job of that , but you put both ailerons in the down position surely that's not possible because of how they work? it should be one up the other down
Was the systems on these bombers hydrolic? If the aircraft is modeled as stationary and cold, then the system will be unpressurised and both ailerons will drop.
I'm currently building the Pro modeller Revell 1/32 He-111 P in the same unit markings etc. I noticed your landing gear look a bit jogged back. I have run into many issues with the landing gear on my kit. They seem awfully spindly and the surface area for joining is quite small, was that different on the regular Revell He-111? This is my second large aircraft build and I've ran into a lot of issues with fitment and parts just not lining up properly on the landing gear and cockpit glass being a bit jogged off to the right. I've see multiple builds including yours where it seems to have that same issue so I can only think that the master mold isn't quite the right dimensions as the instructions would suggest. Also had to do some filling around the space where the wings join and the intakes under the engine nacelles. Just curious what your take on it was. Other than your starboard main landing gear strut being a bit angled too far back you did a good job, I like what you did with the preshading as I did that too on mine. Great paint work on that splinter and wash.
@@AlexModeling Thank you for the speedy reply, I will try to do my level best to get that under carriage just right. This confirmed some suspicions I had about this kit as I haven't done that many Revells' in the past especially in 1/32 scale. Cheers to a fellow builder, I wish you nothing but the best.
Great reload of the build video. What a monster! That bird is big. I like big. Big is fun. Do you have any space left in your house? I'm running out, but I don't have anything in that scale! Once again, an inspiring build and great paint of an iconic aircraft. Thanks!
Met one of the CAF pilots that flew the real one before it was destroyed. He said it was the hardest plane he had ever flown because of the curved windscreen and you don't have any real reference points.
In December I might get this and the hph detail set. The detail would be insane. However the total cost will be around 240€! It would be a great opportunity to win at model shows ;))
On second thought I get the full plane with 90€. I get half a plane with the hph set which is 140€. So basically more than half of the parts from the revell kit won't be used. :D For the details I think it's worth it. Resin is absolute sh*t to build but the final result looks really good usually.
When I first saw this build, I was so impressed I went out and bought the kit. Still have it, not started. To be honest it scares me to death! But we'll done you for completing it.........now where on earth do you display it?
I had the same problem with one of my vids a couple of months ago, but it was blocked without a warning. I only found out about it accidently. Very annoying! This one of your vids I haven't watched yet. Jeez, what a gigantic model! Great details by Revell, but the Eduard set makes it perfect. Very nice job, Alex! :)
+Non-Prolific 1/35th Scale Model Builder Thank you! Had 5 episodes.. i just simarized it into 1... its too much trouble to re re edit some videos just to "clean" the channel but... well.. its YT at its best!
It's getting worse and worse here and I'm glad that I don't monetize. The trouble with alleged "not advertiser friendly" content would kill me. It's a pity that Vidme had to close down. :(
+Non-Prolific 1/35th Scale Model Builder yes but me being even monetized i don t earn a lot... 4or 5 years ago if i reached 10.000 i would ve earning something worth but now YT removed 90% of all earnings on youtubers so i didn t felt the "impact" for me its fine lets say
Wow! Very nice of YT! We do the work and they make the money! Seems to be the normal thing today. 95% of all people get poorer and poorer, no matter how much they work, and the rest gets richer and richer by other people's work. :( I never got a "not advert friendly" warning, just because I don't monetize. If that should ever happen I'll have to think it over if it's worth it to run a channel here.
not so much a comment as a question do you know of anything but super glue for glueing foto - etched to plastic it seems that i or rather my sinuses have alergic to it .
Hey Alex, how much did this kit cost you? I bought it here in the US for $117.49 and I was just curious how much yours was. Also, I started it, and I love the way it looks so far. This is the third time watching this video, and I'm picking up more and more tips and tricks to build it. Thank you for the amazing content. Keep it up.
$117.49 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! I remember as a boy and my dad paying 98 cents for a Lindberg Line model. $1.98 for a Revell was unheard of. This was in the '60s early '70s.
Alex liked watching this build again, one of my very favorite German bombers and i love the BIG scale birds. Where do you put these models when you are done building?
I'm part German and part Finnish, my great grandfather was in the Kriegsmarine during World War 2. His ship hit a mine and sank but he thankfully survived. Sadly, he died from a heart attack in 2000.
Did you build two Heinkels Alex Love this kit it's waiting for almost two years to build him I safe this video love it But got alot of other builds to finish first And what a great country do you have was there on holiday.
You know it's really terrible that entities such as U-Tube find it necessary to threaten someone for the content in a video concerning the building of plastic models. It's not like you're making a ton of money. I would venture to say that by the time you figure in the cost of the equipment to film the build and your time required to produce a decent edit, you've actually lost money! I wish the liberal left would worry more about the effect their conduct is having on the society of the world and less on the fact that you might offend one of the more than a billion people with something you may have said or not. I was brought up at a time during which if I was exposed to something that offended me, I just turned the channel or whatever. BTW, great build.
Personnellement, je préfère de loin Hasegawa et Tamiya ! Les détails sont de grande qualité les assemblages sont nickels et les panneaux de structure sont très réalistes ! Chez Revell, par contre, beaucoup trop d'imperfections à rattraper au montage 👎🏻👎🏻😤 En maquette bateau ça peut aller, vu qu'il y a assez peu de détails, mais en avions, Revell est ZÉRO !! 👎🏻 👎🏻 👎🏻
Would be great to get a resin cowel set and props for a Film Battle of Britain HE111 , they were Casa 3s built by the Spanish under licence after WW2..they were Merlin powered hence the Cowels ,still think its a better lookin version ..but great build seen you paid attention to showing the wing ribs itsa big bird screws me for space but still a great job..oh a tip play 1930s music just in the background , gives your build its place in time man.
After 4 years in stash
I starded finaly with the Heinkel 111
Thanks again Alex to get me back in this great hobby with this video of the 111
Honored! Im the One who thanks! Merry Christmas!

A Battle of Britain Bomber of KG-54. You are truly an artist. At 23:21 it looks like the real thing in a hangar.
Honestly I thought this as well
I got this kit for my birthday built some of it and just got overwhelmed, today is a snow day i saw this video and somehow it motivated me to dust it off and resume building im currently on another break how ever i will hopefully have her finished up by the weekend
Nice model the heinkel he 111 is one of my favorite WW2 planes, one of the most aerodynamic planes ever to fly

@@alhernon and when they were in formation, crossfire from gunners was not something to me taken lightly either... overall a very tough bird!

Nice kit. Long ago in the ‘70s, I knew a former Luftwaffe navigator who flew in the He-111. (Now deceased, RIP)
This is one model that you must detail the cockpit well for a nice kit.
The heinkel he 111 is one of my favorite WW2 planes, nice aerodynamic design
You air brush on a tea towel! You are braver than I thought.
😂😂👍👍👍👍
One of my favourite planes from WW2
A great looking bird ! The last 111 I did was a 1/48. And brush painted it ! I was an early teenager . same color scheme . was stationed in France . b o b
Very nice . I like a good He. 111 . Nice job with the perspex. Steve U.K.

Instead of using dark dirt wash would dark brown wash work as well
