One of the one-offs, test planes, and prototypes which never made it, for whatever reasons, I've been curious about is the Heinkel HE119. Yes, it was proposed, at first, to be a high-speed bomber, but was judged a failure in that regard, then it was proposed to be a high-speed recce bird, again, was judged to be a failure. So, after being tested for use in other ways, it was finally scrapped, and became one with the ages.
I first saw something on this in Green's Warplanes of the Third Reich, and thought to myself, "someday......" with regard to possibly modelling it, but never got the chance to.
Well, now I might have a chance to, as the situation back then is no longer a factor.
While I can find a few pics of this, in the various marks, I have yet to find any more information on this design, and a few of the pics I've found show a float version, which builds even more intrigue.
What I'm wondering is if there are available any other three-views of this, which might include little things like fuselage sections and wing sections(I might not be able to use a true to scale set of airfoils, but wing sections would give me a pretty good idea where to start, as were I to begin to contemplate building it as an RC model, I'll have to draw the plans up myself. Then there will be the problem of the canopy, as this'd be something I'd have to make myself, either as a framework with individual window panes, or as one piece unit).
And I think that I'd want to build the V1 prototype, because the wings look so much more elegant.
Anway, I appreciat anyone's input on this.
