Revell's 1/32 Heinkel 111 Full Build (Part 2 of 2)

Hope you've got some nice biscuits with that cup of tea🍵

[@dougeby3996]

I really enjoyed this build. I like your simple straightforward style, wry modeling humor and no stupid blaring music thank goodness! I would never have considered building a 1/32 HE-111, especially not one by Revell, but you’ve inspired me - of course now the kit doesn’t seem to be available. Looking forward to watching more of your content.

[@richardchapman4456]

Greg I have been watching your builds for some time mate and I must say that you have become 1 of my favourites. Your build subjects are always spot on and I love the way you make them appear basic but are in fact extremely comprehensive and invaluable to fellow modellers. Love your work, keep it up

[@GregsModels]

Thank you very much Richard

[@jlcsr9163]

Great job on this dog of a kit. Revell always tests our patience.

[@alanmorris8783]

My dad was finishing this kit when he died. It was detailed and fitted out with full crew. He was making it for my son who spent many hours with him at the RAF museum’s Battle of Britain exhibition, but it never arrived as the movers stole/lost/destroyed it kindly which broke my young sons heart ….. wankers. Still, nice to see one beautifully finished.

[@GregsModels]

Thank you👍

[@martinwalton2850]

A fantastic result as ever Greg. And refreshing to watch someone build a Revell kit without continually slating them. Proper model making - you work with what you’ve got and get over the issues with skill and judgement rather than moaning. I also gravitate to the larger models - not sure why.

[@GregsModels]

Cheers Martin 👍

[@williamkoppos7039]

Best part of your vids are the wry self deprecating comments. The kind of things I say under my breath to myself on every project. Currently doing Revell's 1/32 Hurricane IIb. It's full of head scratching WTFs also. Anyway the Heinkel turned out great. No varnish coats. Hmmmm

[@littlejimmy2855]

Great job. Looking forward to seeing your next project.

[@arkbuilder2012]

Nothing can compare to painted on markings. Well done as usual.

[@GregsModels]

So true👍

[@mode1charlie170]

Beautiful Greg. love watching your builds.

[@stephenrose1343]

Very impressive. One of the things I really enjoy about your videos, is the way you think aloud, thinking through a problem. By the way, you are spot on, Revell instructions are a "visual salad"

[@GregsModels]

😂👍

[@Thejirka64]

You do it beautifully!👌Thumbs up!!!👍

[@treyzmodels422]

Very nicely done Greg! Glueing canopies of that size is nerve wracking, especially with all the fiddly bits! Cheers Trey

[@paulcrombie9623]

You have some great skills as a professional model maker I have to say. I do like the Heinkel 111, not because I like war, but rather that it was either one of these or a Dornier 17 that bombed my grannies house in North Sheilds, luckily, it was only an incendiary bomb that didn't go off. Well during that raid, the whole family got down to the air raid shelter in the back garden, then realised they were one kid short, it was my dad! They found him still in the house playing with his toy cars behind the settee, oblivious to what had just happened! Just a little bit of history I thought I might add 🙂

[@GregsModels]

Great story👍😂

[@MickCampin-jp9kb]

Enjoyed the build. Bin out of the hobby for about 40 years. Tempted to get back but it's pricey these days. May just stick to my trains

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

For the future, Microscale makes a product called Micro Krystal Klear which is for gluing canopies and windshields without any hazing of melting. Im looking at a bottle now, for a product number but only see MI-9. It can also be used to make the glass for windows 1/4 inch wide or smaller.

[@normansmith8184]

Have plasticard will travel! Great big thumbs up to both parts Greg and a brilliant naration again. But ain't that camouflage masking a pain. Brilliant job Greg as usual, gives me heart to take on my ICM 1/48 H-3 having almost become demented tackling their 1/48 Do 17Z-2 for my Battle of Britain series. Thank you sir.

Great build Greg. Really fascinating work. I like how you also show the problems with the construction. I think that they really meet all of us often and it is solving these very unpleasant situations that makes us better modellers. I have a Ju-88 model in the same scale from Revell in my closet and I think it will also be a very challenging and impressive build. Greetings, Aleš 🙂👍

[@GregsModels]

Thank you Aleš. I have the He 219 to build at some point but it's the camo that's scaring me from building it 😎

@@GregsModels I also have a He-219 in my closet. You are right, German camouflages are really very demanding. But I think there's nothing you can't handle Greg 😉

Fantastic build as always Greg always look forward to your posts mate.

[@joemoore4027]

Another great build ! I really do like the attitude you have when building a kit. All too many turn their builds into a major project where you just wing it at times which I think is very funny. This is the part about modeling that seems to be missing from the builds you see on U Tube, all too perfect in their execution on how to build a model kit the "right way". As for the size issue, sometimes bigger is better especially if you are an old timer with poor eye sight as myself ( 68 ). It's a fine looking He-111 even for a Revell kit ! I thought the ejector pin marks were port holes at first ! Keep on building mate, I'll be watching with my cup of tea. Cheers.

[@GregsModels]

[@GregsModels]

Thank you👍

[@jokervienna6433]

I really enjoyed the build, yes! Both for the exact model (I will build the same, likely in the autumn) and for the tips, tricks and thoughts you shared. You tell about your mistakes, what is hard, "oops, I broke that part" and "I can live with that". :D At the moment I am struggling (and having fun) with building four Spits that will hang in the ceiling. Also Revell, 1/32. I must say that Revell has improved a lot since I last built something from them - some 35 years ago... still some problems, the instructions says nothing about how to build them with the weels up, so I had to improvise. I found the wet sanding interesting. Just tried out steel wool (will continue with that) and it gives that shine of underlaying metal. Thank you for posting this! Happy crafting!

[@GregsModels]

😎👍

[@bristdav1]

Once again another great build and subject matter, have to say I really look forward the videos, and I am amazed you can put out content like this, bearing in mind all the house move etc. will eagerly await the next subject 👍👍

[@GregsModels]

It's catching up on me, don't know how other KZbinrs do it.

[@paulmoore6345]

Its a mighty impressive model. You have really excelled on this one even if it wasn't a pleasure to build

[@steves8482]

Lovely work with the stencils and a truly impressive model - watched both parts and b*ggered up my Saturday schedule (again) - wouldn't have it any other way lol - thanks again for the vid.

[@andykopgod]

Thats very impressive, one of my favourite aircraft, well done 👏👏👏

[@foreverplastickits138]

*Wonderful build of this wonderful kit, awesome result!*

[@allanrichards3752]

That's a great build. I was going to by this kit some time back but ended up making the 1/48 ICM. I just wasn't confident about the quality and engineering of the Revell kit. Having seen your video I think the kit looks ok to build so may go back to it. When painting the camo on my model I did the opposite of you and ended up with the greens being too similar so had to re-mask the whole thing to lighten the colour!!

[@GregsModels]

I know it's something I always dread on a German plane.

[@tonydrake462]

Fab reference for my build - I plan to stat mine in a few months (got the 1/32 Mig23 and 1/24 Spitfire on the go atm) - got Reskit wheels, Eduard masks and KisWorld 3d.. and decals for Slovak Air Force ones for something different.. I agree on the weathering, I tend to go over the top, and regret it - I will take your queue to keep it min, it looks smashing.

[@GregsModels]

Cheers Tony👍

[@TheBez1965]

Brilliant work

[@basfinnis]

Big lump but you made it look easy 😉 Lovely finish 😘

[@69jmcc94]

Another great build mate...had this kit many years ago but reluctantly sold it on...i did build the 1/32 ju88 and the size of the build put me off building the he111.i do like the 3d stencils makes the cickpit pop...on the subject of stencils did you decide to leave some of the kits off?.

[@stevepritchard3970]

Terrific build Greg. If you hang it from the ceiling you will have to add a crew! Guessing you haven't got a box big enough to store it in?

[@GregsModels]

The box I've had to put it in is bigger than the 1/24 Airfix Stuka box.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

Well, I know you said you are "cheap as chips" but, I would honestly consider investing in metal landing gear, especially for kits that size. They DO pay for themselves and, especially over time. Plastic tends to bend and eventually warp or snap, aside from the build stage.

[@telescopereplicator]

Super impressive...... Super impressive..............

[@csiga79]

Absolutely love this build!

[@dlthomson5287]

Good build despite the problems encountered. I've learned a lot from watching your vids along with other modelers who's channels I have subscribed to, each has his own way of tackling problems I wouldn't' consider doing it that way. If you are interested I watched a preview of HK Models 1/32 scale A-20G Havoc and I'd be interested seeing what you would do with this kit. Keep up the good work.

[@GregsModels]

Its on the list👍

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Awesome kit, perfect result, especially Your scratch and Quinta Decals. Looks very nice. I never build He 111 in my life, so I must do this - when I was about 8-9 years old, I learned from drawings of this plane, that something like versions of planes exists, that was very exciting to see differences between He-111E and, for example He-111P. ;) So, thanks for that build, memories comes back. ;) All the best for You! ;)

[@GregsModels]

Thank you👍

Greg, is that green tape you use the painters stuff? (Frog tape)

[@adamslarke5483]

Lovely job mate!!

[@dhdove]

Hi Greg, love your builds and admire your patience which I’m so lacking in. As you like big kits any chance of you taking on the Tamiya 12036 1/12 six wheel Tyrell P34 F1 car? I’m building that at the moment and finding it quite a challenge. I’ve only found one build on KZbin and that’s from Japan and I’ve given up on it, I’ll screw it up on my own thank you! Best, TonyS

[@GregsModels]

There's always a chance I do like to deviate from the aircraft every now and then.

[@GhostRider247]

amazing !!! Greg you done a stunner there lad !! i've got the 1/32 Ju 88 and its been on the go for at least 3yrs , and the fit is terrible and a lot of things i've picked up since starting it i could have done better , but it is what it is , its just starting the paint job !!!! its huge just like your Heinkel , its very impressive though and like yourself i love big kits , its just the thought of the paint just i don't want to make a complete arse of it !!!! ....take care Shaun.

[@finlayfraser9952]

Formidable Greg! Have you any experience with removable cover film decals? Judging from your masking, and decal application techniques you wouldn't need them.

[@GregsModels]

I've seen some videos on the Eduard ones, would be easier than using pre-cut masks. It's just the availability of them for certain subjects 👍😎

[@paulbrinschwitz8730]

Ya reckon u don’t like masking the decals/markings are absolutely beautiful 🤩

[@cong404040]

This is probably my favourite build of yours so far. We’ll done again Greg, I have a feeling your next build (or maybe one after) might have a certain battle in common with the Heinkel…

[@GregsModels]

I think you're right😎

[@adrianabbott4623]

First time I have watched one of your videos. Interesting but I noticed that you don't appear to remove the paint from plastic parts before gluing. How are you getting parts to properly stick paint to paint?

[@GregsModels]

Paint on seams, especially large parts, needs removing. But providing the part/parts aren't under any stress I sometimes don't bother.

[@SirJohn2024]

Beautiful... 😎

[@seanfoster3052]

Amazing work but that must be a nightmare to store. I also tend to find big aircraft harder to build. They can be hard to manipulate, especially if you have a limited work space.

[@derekaxtell3016]

Hi Greg, daft question, why apply black first then white on the crosses, I wouldv'e thought going light to dark colour would be easier?

[@GregsModels]

Sometimes you can get a fine white bleed appearing under the top black coat, around the edge. Which can be very noticeable. Whereas adding the black first, will eliminate this.

[@falconeaterf15]

One of these brutes buzzed my RC flying club field back in the 90s. Just outside Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada of all places. Landed at the airport and sold T-shirts. I still have one. Crashed and burned years later, killing the crew. Sad.

[@GregsModels]

Yes, I think they lost power on one of the engines?

@@GregsModels If I remember correctly, they were running out of gas coming in to land. One engine conked out from fuel starvation and that was it.

[@ianbeale2527]

I'm converting one of these kits to a CASA 2.111 from the BoB movie using the Heritage Aviation conversion. Sadly the Merlins are the wrong shape and the exhausts sit too low, so it's taking me some time to correct them. 3 years + so far as I have to be in the mood and it's been relegated to the bottom of a very large pile of other 1/32 kits. I think I'll cheat, too, when it comes to the weathering. The original aircraft being freshly painted for the movie , so just the basic exhaust staining etc and not much in the way of weathering. The engines are also solid pieces of heavy resin, with copious amounts of filler added and sanded away to get a more accurate shape - so the undercarriage may not be fitted due to the weight.

[@GregsModels]

Would like to see a big Merlin version of the He 111. On some of the stills from the movie, you can see the Spanish roundels underneath the paint.

[@alvisefranceschin3707]

Very good model Mr. Greg, the next? A fighter or bomber of WW1 like a Sopwith Dolphin of Copper State Models, a Fokker of Eduard
