A few pics of my He 100H-1a, the model is 1/72 scale and kit bashed from the Revell Ta 152 and Lindberg He 100 kits.

I chose to paint and mark my model as the machine flown by Walter Ungar while he was posted to JG 8 in 1944.

BTW, this is a ''what-if'', no such airplane was actually built.

Neat! Nice weathering job.

I'm not exactly a maven when it comes to World War II aircraft. What are the differences between your phantom He 100H-1 and the production He 100, aside from the T-tail and extra air intake (which appears to be on the left side only -- would that be for a supercharger?)?

Not only a great looking model, but the presentation is outstanding!:thumbsup:

He also put the extended long-span wings on it from a Focke-Wulf Ta-152H. Heinkels had a much prettier eliptical wing.

Great build but fantastic pix. Love the B&W's. Looks like something you'd see in an old history book. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

You've done it again, AgentSmith; your Heinkel looks great (as always)! Nice touch with the mascott, BTW.
I look forward to your Jagdgeschwader of FW's in the coming months.

Thanks for looking Seaview!

I just bought my first Iwata airbrush and will be painting my Fw 109s with it, I am looking forward to using it.

Very nice "What-if" presentation. I currently have enough pieces/parts of various models to pique my interest in trying that myself.

Thanks Jason,

I just got an Iwata airbrush last Friday, painting my models should be a little easier from now on. The past 20 years I have been using a Badger 150 with mixed results, now with the Iwata airbrush my fine detail painting should improve.

I thought the first photo was a reference image of the real thing until I read your post!!
Really, that is truly amazing, Agentsmith!!! Astonishing work!
