LF 1/72 HeS 011 Late War Gernam Jet Engine

[Gondor]

I am specifically looking for at least one HeS 011 Jet engine to use in a projected/late WWII build. Ideally I would like the whole engine including intake and exhaust shrouds although I am also interested in the intake and exhaust shrouds separately.

I am not looking for the Jumo 004 engines usually fitted on the Me 262 although BMW 003 engines would also be of interest to me.

I've a mould somewhere for a complete AR P.II engine.  I'll see if I can find it.

If all else fails, try Ren at Sharkit. He does one

Thanks for the link but as I am out of work at the moment and that set costs €80 it's not a viable option

80    

sorry mate, the link I have doesn't say that but it is still around 38, not including postage

I may have what you're after in the stash, I'll be home tomorrow so I can check then

Sorry, your right. Not sure where I got the 80 from  still a lot of money for me at the mooment.

I am still looking for this type of engine exhaust. I have also updated the thread title so it is easier for people to know what I am looking for.

I would be happy with dimensions and pictures of the parts if necessary.

I recently found out that the Me 1101 was to use the HeS 011 engine so that would be an option if anyone has the exhaust of one of these spare, mine is already built and painted or I would use that

After having the idea of using an HeS 011 running around in my head again recently I had another look at the various aircraft the engine was proposed for. It turns out that the Dragon/Revell Me 1101 kit actually has a Junkers 004 engine as that was what the prototype reputedly flew with as there were no HeS 011's available so they modelled the Junkers engine instead 
The Ar. E 555 strategic bomber kitted by Revell also is kitted with the Junkers engine as well 
So in desperation I turned to the web in the hunt for various proposed aircraft that were to fly with the engine and I then looked around for kits of the aircraft where the engine was podded preferably.
Not much luck there so a different search was made and I have ended up buying a set of early Jet engines by Sharkit from which I shall attempt to reverse engineer the HeS 011 engine so I can make my own moulds and castings rather than copying the Sharkit engine directly.

IIRC, the RS Models Hs 132C kit could be a good donor bank: there are several boxings, and one of them comes with an extra dorsal HeS 011 pod.

Thanks, I will keep a look out for that
