Return to Index   Heinkel He178 V1 November 7 2010 at 6:23 AM   (Login kickstart_erc) HyperScale Forums from IP address 41.145.222.178 My build of Condors Heinkels He178. To miss quote An easy model to make but a hard one to make well. For such a significant aircraft it really is an ugly little bugger. The undercarriage on this model was just a blob of plastic so made my own to reference pictures, each one made from 15 pieces. I think I can say this was one of the hardest models Ive made in several decades of modelling(Thing is it being such a little and insignificant looking machine will just be overlooked in the cabinet or on the clubs display table) . Ended up painting it three time and two paint strips. Other changes to the kit were cutting the elevators off and repositioning them in the down position and redoing the jet pipe.

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
