A Quartet of He-100's

Here is a "legacy" lineup--

1.The short-winged speed-record breaker V8 (Side registration originally on V3, then transfered to V8 after V3's crash)--a Real-World build.

2. The "Propaganda Fighter" He-100D in spurious markings--a Real World build, but fringing on what-if of itself.

3. Next, the Japanese  "improved" version built by Argentines--improved range, armament, and manuverability. Whif.

4. Back in Germany, oblivious to the Japanese re-design, different "improvements" are tried out--a new, laminar-flow wing is coupled with slight increased length, four-bladed prop for a souped-up version of the DB-605, and a new blown canopy (later to be on the He-162!). Whif.

#1,3, and 4 are based on the Lindberg He-100. #2 is an almost-out-of-the-box MPM He-100.


Here's a top-rear view:

My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Very nice, also the group presentation. And there could be MANY more, e .g. a Finnish version, something from Hungary, Italy, Romania, captured bird. and even a post-war Luftwaffe version (e .g. NMF with dayglo markings)... There's a lot of potential here ;)

I also consider getting the MPM kit and make a Japanese whif from it - but there are so many other ideas and projects on the bench...  :rolleyes:

Thanks. Not shown is my "missing" link "He-113M" development--a heftier Heinkel fighter aircraft BASED on the qualities of the He-100:

That would "complete" a five-some. IPMS *USED* to have a contest category for "five related" builds. That would be my "goal".

He-100's were bought by both the Soviet Union and Japan, so some whif potential there. Also, since the He-100 had "racing heritage", a Reno Unlimited pylon-racer version might be appropriate!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Dumiac and Mossie--Thanks for making nice.

Now all I need is the Japanese Ki-98(?) "fat" He-100 lookalike!

Aha! It was *YOU* who did that pair of "sumo He-100's"! Nice! I had squirreled away the photos in my "other people's models" digital collection but didn't know whose they were.
