HEINKEL He - 51 W - MPModel - 1:33

Hello aviation friends!

With my next project, I dare to try a seaplane for the first time.

The HEINKEL He - 51 W is on the program .

420 parts are spread over four A4 cardboard pages and two pages of paper for frames.

The print is very clean and has a slight satin finish.

The written building instructions are in Polish, plus two pages of picture building instructions, this should contribute to the good success.

With great anticipation of what is to come and best regards
Kurt

I really hope this kit comes together for you. Years ago, during the Marek Marathon, I attempted the digital download version of this model and could never get the skins around the cockpit to fit correctly. I ended up abandoning the project. I hope you have more success, because I'd really like to see a finished example.


Cheers!

Ah, I remember now that Marek is a fan of butt joints, an enthusiasm which I do not share. I have a few more of his designs in my stash; whenever I get around to them, I will undoubtedly add joiner strips to them, removing some material from the bulkheads, if necessary, to make room for them.

Hello Chris, yes it is a bit complicated to put the fuselage segments together.

Hello everyone

continue now...

Parts 31 to 33, tail with rudder frames ... frames glued frame ...

... lower segment attached ... then prepare the small segments with straps.

Sincerely
Kurt
