ICM He 111-H3 – Day 15

This is how I replaced the broken part using the same kind of wire I had used for the broken gun ring.

I have learned to improvise.

Both homemade parts will be visible. I have to say they look good.

Not perfect but few people will notice the difference unless they compare it with these.

I have succeeded to glue the warped fuselage parts using extra-thin cement and Tamiya tape.

A little filing is all that will be needed.

I then encountered this problem. The bomb rack would not fit it so I had to cut away some plastic.

Again no one will notice…

Which brings me to these steps.

 

I followed the instructions, but step 77 should have come before step 75. It was almost impossible to attach these parts.

 

I will fix it later but again no one will never know.

    Some good improvisation! Yeah there’s definitely a couple of those things where I think the sequence in the directions was not ideal.

      I had my hands full today but I did survive. I had higher expectations for this kit with the reviews I had read, but the reviewers did not mention the problem with some instructions. There was also the warping since the plastic is quite thin.
