1:72 Heinkel He 111 front of engine

Heinkel He 111 front of engine 1:72 (Aires/Quickboost)

This is a resin detail set, not a stand-alone airplane model. It holds a precisely cast replacement front of engine (the forward part of the engine nacelle) for a model of the Heinkel He 111 bomber in 1:72 scale. The part replaces the simplified section from the kit and raises the fidelity of the front of the powerplant.

The real subject

The Heinkel He 111 was a German twin-engine bomber used from the second half of the 1930s and throughout the Second World War. The hallmark of the later versions was the glazed nose. Accurate shaping of the front of the engine nacelles is among the details that strongly affect the overall look of a model.

Usage tips

Wash the parts free of mold release residue, separate them from the casting blocks and clean them up. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Wear respiratory protection while sanding. Apply a fine primer before painting.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the He 111 in 1:72 scale
• Anyone after higher fidelity in the front of the engine
• Builders who want to replace weaker plastic parts
• Collectors of Quickboost resin accessories

This is an accessory to a model, not a stand-alone kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
