View Full Version : High Altitude fighter escort
agentsmith 07-25-2008, 06:32 PM 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.

scotpens 07-25-2008, 09:40 PM 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?)?
Roguepink 07-25-2008, 11:35 PM 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.

This model should be finished by this winter.

Seaview 08-01-2008, 12:52 PM 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.
agentsmith 08-01-2008, 01:23 PM 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.

machine shop to 08-03-2008, 06:37 PM Very nice "What-if" presentation. I currently have enough pieces/parts of various models to pique my interest in trying that myself.

JasonZ 09-06-2008, 09:35 PM very nice work
agentsmith 09-07-2008, 01:50 PM 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.

buddho 09-15-2008, 08:31 PM Gorgeous....well done sir!
mikephys 09-19-2008, 03:04 PM 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!
