As an extra model for the next stage of painting, I've added a single Tumbling Dice He-115 floatplane to use in the reconnaissance role and for minelaying missions, as these were both undertaken during the Battle of Britain by this aircraft. I did fancy building an He-59 for air sea rescue duties but the model has lots of struts that put me off, at least for the moment, so the He-115 will be a good stand in until I can steel myself to tackle the He-59. It's a really nice model too and captures the look of the actual aircraft very well.
That looks a really nice model.

Awesome looking model.
ReplyDeleteThe era of floatplanes, pity those are hardly around anymore. Looking forward to the painted model :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed - I really like TD anyway, but that is lovely
ReplyDeleteI do like the look of it but I suspect it will be an easy kill fr the RAF?
ReplyDeleteIf it gets shot down too often repaint it for the Finns :)
