    You'd need an ME321 Gigant to go with the Zwilling.That would be huge in1/32.Make a masive diarama.Sorry,im being a bit silly now!.I fancy getting the HE111 as well.only Revell could do a kit that big for only£60.

      It's a great price but the Ju88 was a lot less ( I paid about 35 quid I think). I'm not knocking it but I can't see how it would have more in it than the Ju88. They also did most of their measuring and research on an He111 in the same place as the Ju88,in Norway.

      Cheers

        Perhaps ive got this wrong but i think iread somewhere the HE111 Kit has detailed bomb bays?.I was disappointed that the JU88 didnt come with bomb racks or bombs.I know you can get after market resin ones but i would have thought Revell would at least have provided the racks.I still think the HE 111 Will be a bargain.Especially considering i paid£70 for the Tamiya1/48 Lanc.And the old monogram 1/48 B29 is going for £79 in my local hobby shop.

          I agree it's good value for money. Revell used the recovered and (at the time) partially restored Ju88 at Gardemoen as the basis for their kit and,guess what? It didn't have external bomb racks as a BoB example surely would.

          Whose going to build one first then? I've got a tricky Hurricane underway and then two others planned so I doubt it'll be me!

            I am sure you have all searched and found the reviews for this but if not there a good one here, the kit shown is however made from test shots.... Looks rather good all the same.

            Revell's 1/32 scale Heinkel He 111 P-1 by Diedrich Wiegmann Surprised that the tyres are not weighted. A bird that big must of put a bit of pressure on them.

            So are we going to have a mistle build with this monster and Bronco's V1....

                Have to say it looks very good!

                Wish we had a quality mk1 spit in 1/32 to shoot it down. Come on Tamiya, STOP FAFFING AROUND!!!! LOL

                  I've had a very quick look and the major external difference between the P and H models was the engine cowlings. In simple terms the intakes on the side of the engines are on different sides. This might not be difficult to alter on the model.

                  There is a well known photo of a P with black undersides and a black squiggle applied over the sides and upper surfaces which I've got somewhere. That sounds tempting!

                  Cheers

                        I wonder if anybody will make an aftermarket centre wing section? I mean, the whole thing would only have a wingspan of about 1100 mm, so it's not too bad! It would surely attract attention and I'd be up for it - money permitting of course.

                          I like the idea of a Zwilling but consider the price. You'd need two He111 kits plus a load of aftermarket stuff including the wing centre section. That I feel would put such a project in a price range which would have a limited appeal,which in turn would make the after market stuff even more pricey. It would probably cost more than a couple of Tamiya 1/32 Spitfires...Yikes!

                          I'd be tempted but I might have to sell one of my daughters!

                            Nowt wrong with that Steve! With Vaughn giving up his weekend for his anniversary, you not prepared to make such a small sacrifice and I suspect Ron has b******d off on holiday again, I'm beginning to think I'm the only one around here who takes his modelling seriously! :lol

                              Steve; some very important questions arise from you last comment. Can she cook, does she clean and is she a looker??? lol.

                              A Zwilling in 1/32. Are you nuts Gern? but it would look rather nice though.
