I've been looking for this kit for a long time. Finally snagged it for a pretty good price, Fits this build category great ! I've built the Mine version of this kit. Italeri kits are great. Still looking hor the He111Z kit !

Great challenge there, look forward to seeing it come together..

Off to a start. cockpit and interior ready for paint. I added seat cushions and arm rests along with rudder pedals. Also some cargo scratch built goodies. Won't see much when completed but at least the interior will look a bit less sparse. The wheels are the ones from the kit since I won't be needing them. The bombs ? they were in my spares box.

Good stuff Graham

Well the cockpit and cargo area is completed. Ready to close up the fuselage. I fumbled on the wings. I neglected to drill out the location holes for the floats in my haste to put the wings together. I ended up hot wiring a Christmas LED to a 1.5 volt battery and fishing it into the wing until the holes shone through. Better than trying to split the wing apart !!

e holes shine through

Nice Graham! Great idea with the lights too

Great looking interior. I hope the elevator trim allows for enough nose down attitude to balance that load!

Love the webbing

Ha ha, should have put the bombs in first, never thought about that !

Ready for paint. I like the winter camouflage scheme. It is a bit odd, the floats are painted 72/73/65 where the fuselage is the usual 70/71/65 with a white wash over it. It looks to have large patches of the white wash eroded away exposing the under lying splinter scheme. Should be fun to paint.

This will look very cool
