Heinkel 119

Cristian Bordina
Really interesting aircraft but it seems rather complex to be realized..surely too "hard" for my skills. Good job Hanno ;D

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Christian, let`s see how I this one will turn out......... The kit is quite good though, so I might be able to get something OK out of it... 🙂

Bart Goesaert
good luck with this one.

Hanno Kleinecke
Danke Bernd, der Bausartz ist qualitativ recht hochwertig, auch wenn er offenbar ein paar Schwächen in puncto Authentizität hat.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Quite interesting project! I remember reading an article about the He 119 in which a test pilot stated that the engine noise was simply unbearable...
I am looking forward to further steps of this complex looking kit!

Hanno Kleinecke
@Roland, yes two unsilenced DB 601s clung together, screaming along only about 50 cm behind you - I can imagine that being quite an experience...
@ Bernd, stimmt da gibts nicht allzuviel, ich hab das nicht selbst recherchiert, sondern bei Gerhard Busses Baudoku gelesen. Er hat die Tragflächenform verändert, darauf verzichte ich. Paar Kleinigkeiten hab ich verändert, nichts wildes... 🙂

Andre Hoencher
I´m in, intersting Aircraft. 🙂

Wim van der Luijt
Count me in!

Burkhard D
Me too!

Dave Flitton
me too!

Hanno Kleinecke
Some progress. Cockpit and instrument panels almost ready. Still struggling with the paneling, the dark tempera I used, somehow diffunded into the clear gloss. Left wing has to be painted again. I still havent discovered the right technique for that. Hints are welcome ! So, for the moment I'll have to stop here and wait for the new paint to arrive.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you, Bernd!

Christian Bruer
Very nice modelmaking on that funny wingy thing.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thx, Christian !

Holger Kranich
Now that looks very interesting to me, Hanno!!! I´ll take a seat! Beer and Popcorn, anyone?😢

Christian Meyerhoff
Excellent start so far. I like the HE-119 very much!

Gabor Szabo
Great subject! I will follow this closely as I have an old Airmodel vac of the 119 - if I can go through my vacuform-fobia 🙂 Great start!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you mates ! 🙂 I will have to redo the left wing because I fouled up the paneling. Once that's fixed, there will be more progress.
@Gabor : I couln't convince myself for the Airmodel kit too, I hope you can overcome your " vacuform - phobia " ( great term b.t.w.😉 )

Aghis Barberopoulos
I have started this kit long ago, but never finished it. Watching your progress brings me memories. It is a very interesting subject, but difficult build, especially due to the transparent parts.

Hanno Kleinecke
True, the vacu Parts are a bit tricky, lots of dry fitting and sanding. But it is really worth it, I think,she's really beautyful !

Kerry COX
Hanno, I admire your choice of subject and the work your putting into making it stand out.🙂

A real step away from the "Norm" mate, SALUTE. !!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Kerry, I,really am into the more exotic ones at the moment😉 c

Kerry COX
My beer and snacks are tasting so good right now. LOL 🙂

P J
This looks terrific! 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks P J and Bernd ! Oh yes Bernd , must have been unbelievably loud, no silencing at all on two 33,9 litre
engines at full revs...... aint no fun over a prolongued period of time.

Gordon Sørensen
Great looking work so far. I didn't realize how large the aircraft was until i saw the pilot seat. What is the stand you are using to hold the kit? I need something like that!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Gordon ! 🙂 The Stand is made by Tamiya and available almost everywhere :modellbau-koenig.de/..er__i244_17296_0.htm. It is a set consisting of two parts , a large one, and a small one with
adjustable steelwire clamps.

Ivan Kuryakov
Great work! Engine detals very impressive ))

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Ivan!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Wow, it looks as clean and sleek as the original! Great modelling!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Roland ! Fitting the clear parts to the fuselage was a bit of an issue..... I´m curiuos how my first parafilm masking of the canopy will turn out when the masks come off, after a slight panelline weathering.

Andre Hoencher
Great work! Am looking forward to the color.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Andre ! I´m afraid there won`t be much more colour than this, plus a bit more for some of the panellines and the red band on the tailfin. The original was light grey all over, sorry😉

Aghis Barberopoulos
RLM02 grey can wear off, engine exhaust staining is also prominent... the end result does not have to be dull at all😉

Hanno Kleinecke
True indeed !😉

Kerber
Wow! Amazing design...Fantastic ac.
Well done!

Kerry COX
Totally agree with all other members here mate. 🙂

Ben STONE
Great work Hanno. I love the subject matter and the work you've done. It'll be on my list now. Must've been some kind of noise and vibrations in that cockpit with that shaft running through it.

Ulf Petersen
Very unusual bird and a really great model, Hanno.👍

Christian Meyerhoff
Grerat Heinkel! You made the most out of this one.

Jens
was und wie die Deutschen doch alles in die Luft gebracht haben , manches brauchte wohl wirklich Mut damit abheben zu wollen 😄 😄 , Das Modelle ist einfach Sahne geworden , gefällt mir absolut 👍 👍 👍 / am Rande werde ich Dich dann auch mit Fragen Bombardieren , so ein Vollresinmodell braucht wohl etwas andere Arbeitsweisen wie die Plastikarmada , da könnte ich bei meinem Kamow Ka 26 wohl einiges an Unterstützung brauchen 😠

Martien Lourens
Very unusual airplane. But you have created a top performance again.
Excellent work, Hanno 👍👍👍

Soeren R.
Really great work (again) of unique airplane 👍 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you all mates, I really apreciate your kind comments on this one!
I scratched the wheelwell doors, and added a tailwheel from an old Revell Me 109 in 1/48, as the original kitpart was way too big.
The overall light grey went a bit too dark in my opinion. As with almost every model I´m still not 100 % happy with some areas, but learning never stops..... 🙂

@ Jens : Jederzeit gerne ! Der Planet Bausatz ist qualitativ sehr gut, und ging ohne größere Herausforderungen zusammen, ist wirklich kein Hexenwerk, einzig die zweiteilige Vacu - Kanzel hat so ihre Tücken...

Burkhard D
First time I see this kit built. I do not think it can be done any better! 👍👍👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks a lot Bernd ! Sag mal, wäre so ein Planet Kit auch bei Dir zu bekommen ? Ich habe da noch einen im Auge.......😉

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Burkhard ! 🙂

Gerald
👍

Wim van der Luijt
Absolutely Beautiful! Elegant plane and very well built.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Wonderful build on a amazing aircraft. Great work, very very well done!

Bart Goesaert
a very nice, but equally strange bird... nice build...

soheil moghisi
very nice.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Gerald,Wim,Roland, Bart and Soheil ! 🙂

P J
That's a really fascinating plane. Great build too, Hanno!

Gabor Szabo
Nice built! Planet kits are not easy but this one turned out great! 👍

Andre Hoencher
Fantastic Model! 👍

P J
This has inspired me to have a go at the float plane version, the 119V-5. Flying these things with the pair of 601 V12s behind you... transmission between pilots... sat in that cage... intimidating thought!!

Hanno Kleinecke
Wow , brilliant idea ! Count me in on that one ! Is that kit from Planet Models as well ? I might have a try with the V5 as well. I'm quite into these floatplanes at the moment !

Hanno Kleinecke
I just found the V5 at Hannant's, it is a Planet Kit as well, tempting......

Christian Bruer
Unique bird but great work Hanno!

P J
Yes, it's a Planet model. I've found one for sale in USA. I wasn't intending to do propeller planes, I set out to collect and build jets... How did this happen??? 🙂

Kerry COX
Hanno, I am late in commenting mate, but I must echo all of the comments and praise said by all your mates.
Beautifully done and presented mate. 🙂

P J
Indeed - aside from the plane, that cracked runway/apron is superb!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Christian, Kerry and PJ ! 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
@ PJ : So you already bought the V5 ? 😛 Can't wait to see you getting started ! Yeah, funny how one gets led astray , when one leads to another,
collecting kits.I hardly can keep myself from buying lots of ancient raceplanes and old German airliners at the moment...

P J
Haha! My stash began with good intentions: 1:72 V Bombers (one set in white, one in camo), and 1:48 fighters (plus a few cars.) I have a friend who collects Cold War jets (1:1!) and I thought I might build his collection at 1:48. Now if you see my stash, you will see the problem... 😛 I may have to do some sea planes as a series to follow the Knights of the Air...! 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Schneider era raceplanes are the utmost in aircraft design for me at the moment, so I´m 100% with you on
seaplanes. Although it might carry you a bit further away from your initial target.....😢
1/1 Jet collection? That sounds really amazing .

P J
Completely agree about the Schneider era planes. 🙂

Here is a link to the jet collection: bruntingthorpeaviation.com I will also share some of my photos on here when I get a moment. 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
He bought the entire airfield ? Does he personally own all these birds as well ? I have no words..... 😛

Ben STONE
Yep, I'm sucked into the Schneider vortex also. I started out a couple of years ago with a fascination of WW2 German jets and look what's happened. There's no hope!

Hanno Kleinecke
No we can`t do anything about it, can we ...... Did you get any further with your MC 72 yet ?

Ben STONE
A little further Hanno, nothing really to show though. Started on a Mini Cooper idea that's been buzzing around in my head, that and my girlfriend suggested I don't make any more models until I make some boxed shelves to put them in....🙂 she has a point.

Aghis Barberopoulos
Congrats on finishing a very challenging kit. You have given me courage in trying to finish mine!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Aghis and Bernd !

Acki
Very good, Hanno. Interesting plane. 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Hi Acki, thanks !

Cristian Bordina
In my opinion, you made a great job 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Christian !🙂

Erik Leijdens
Very nice work Hanno! Strange aircraft, beautiful model 👍

Es-haq Khosravi
Great job! Very nice dio!

Carlos Medrano
Wow... This is just excellent.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Erik, Es-Haq and Carlos, much appreciated !

vincent coyne
don't think I saw this plane before
nice work

Marc Verlot
a real inspiration. Working on the kit!
