Heinkel He 100A-O Block II GP+AI

Wim van der Luijt
I'll be following this one. Such a sleek plane!

Martyn Fox
Love the detail work here.Whenever I try doing any intricate work like this I just end up gluing my fingers together 🙂

Jens
ein wirklicher Renner 👍 irgenwann werde ich mich dem Spachtelwunder auch mal hingeben
tolle Arbeit , gefällt mir schon ohne Lackierung ausgenommen gut 👍

Alan Rush
Looks great. Cockpit nicely done and steady hands with the rescribing! look forward to more photos.

Clifford Keesler
Looking good.

Philip De Keyser
The cockpit have you really revived by all those additions of scratchbuild details, it looks very promising Dirk and I?m looking forward to see the next photos appear, greatjob so far 👍

Christian Borchmann-Backhaus
Cool

Stefan Fraundorfer
Hallo Dirk! Hab ja schon länger nichts mehr von Dir gehört bzw. gelesen. Hast Du eine Kunstpause eingelegt? Dafür ist das neue Projekt wieder ein echter Heyer. Super detailliertes, bemaltes und gealtertes Cockpit - so wie wir es von Dir gewohnt sind. Gefällt mir sehr gut.

Dirk Heyer
@all Thx for your nice comments.
@Stefan Fraundorfer
Yes, I did a brake, because of big troubles with my computer. Couldn't boot.
But I didn' t brake modelling plastic models and painting figures.
Can't exist without my Hobby. 🙂

Stefan Schacht
interessantes Flugzeug, da schaue ich mal weiter zu.

Duncan Cook
I will watch you Dirk, I really like the He-100.

Michel Huijghe
Very nice. 👍
This will be a very stunning model.🙂

Jean-Paul DEWAR
Nice work Dirk. It is well on track.

Christian Bruer
Sharp and clean as usual Dirk. I most like the fine painting and weathering at the cockpit! Cheers, Christian

Dirk Heyer
Thank you mates! 🙂
This weekend I`ll start to give her the soul! Starting today with painting the cooling surfaces in Airframe Aluminium from Alclad.
Greetz Dirk

Kevin Foureman
Looking forward to seeing more of this one. 🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Very nice work so far!

Philip De Keyser
Looking forward to the paintjob
Greetz Phil

Dirk Heyer
All cooling surface panels are finished with Airframe Alu with irregular light accents of Pale Burnt Metal, Hotmetal Violet and Hotmetal Blue.
The lower surface is painted with JPS RLM 65, and later weathered with AK Interactive Washes.
I`ve masked the cooling surface panels with Parafilm M. A low tack and very flexible laboratory film. It needs only a cutting to proper shape and it is an easy task to remove it with a simple eraser without any problems.

Augie
Superb Dirk 🙂

Kevin Foureman
Love the progress!

Bill Gilman
Great work, Dirk, as usual! Is this the fighter that was used for propaganda, and eventually a few were sent to the Russians and Japanese? Or was that the 112...I'm afraid I don't know my Luftwaffe history very well. Excellent work in the cockpit and the riveting is superb. Can't wait to see this finished! 👍

Holger Kranich
Endlich mal wieder was von Dir, Dirk!😄
Damn fkn sxy work! I love what i see, especially the old bottles from Jens Popp!🙂😄

Dirk Heyer
Thx mates! 🙂

@ Bill
Yes it is!
Two aircraft of this type were supplied to Japan and ten of this nice type to Russia.
I want to show aircraft A-0 of Batch II, an aircraft showing all her cooling surface panels although in camouflage finish.
@ Holger
I`ve a big stash of JP`s colour range. I`m happy to have them as he didn` t produce his authentic colours no longer.
🙁

Holger Kranich
Its such a pitty that there is no JPS anymore...
I love his paints... But slowly my stash is reducing... But i know a retailer who still has some in his stock😢!

Holger Kranich
Oh Jesus, Dirk... This is indeed the perfect kit for you, if you want to do some scratchwork... How to seperate the small parts from the sprue? Are you doing it by prayers or just make them all scratch? Just had a look at the review on MV and it indeed looks as the gear is a bit long, isnt it?
Oh, i´m relly looking forward your completition of this wonderful aircraft!😄

Wim van der Luijt
Great stuff!.... I see you also use parafilm....I always take Some from the lab at work 😉

Dirk Heyer
@Holger
Yep, I love this paints too. Years ago I spend some hours with Jens at his home and we were talking about camo shemes, comparing colours with the Federal Standart Colors 595B card, barbecue and trinking beer! Yeah, it was a creative nice time!
And yep, this kit is an eldorado for scratch building. All smaller parts like Undercarriage, Cockpit, oil cooler, etc. are scratch built. There is no chance to use the kitparts without conflict. 🙂
And no, the undercarriage is absolutely perfect in shape.
See picture No. 20 of my album. I don`t know why Jörg Bonstedt was writing this hypothesis as he never compared the kitparts with any scale drawings? His hypothesis is wrong!
@ Wim
Think I have enough Parafilm for my life. I was standing beside me as I ordered this 125 feet roll 🙂 Now I try to mask all what I see with Parafilm. My car, Neighbour dog, trees...... 😄

Dirk Heyer
Btw, just realised the spinner on that drawing is too short!

Holger Kranich
Seems as i need some scale drawings of this wonderful aircraft!😄

Dirk Heyer
You will find this scale drawings in the famous magazine Jet & Prop No.4 and 5, 1998.
Feel free and tell me if you need`em.
I owe you !!!!

Holger Kranich
You owe me nothing, but when i get my hands on such a kit, i feel free to contact you!😢

Christian Bruer
Nice progress. Hope to see you and some of your nice work in Heiden next month!

Jean-Paul DEWAR
Very nice work Dirk.

Oliver Peissl
Hey Dirk,

as always a really nice WIP!!

Dirk Heyer
@ Holger
🙂 👍
@ Christian
Sadly not this year! Time restrictions and the expensive gasoline leads to these steps. I`ll participate only on four exhibitions this year. Hope we will meet us soon again.
@ JIP and Oliver and all other mates
Thx for your nice comments! 🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Excellent details and lovely weathering.

Dirk Heyer
@ Aghis
Thx Aghis! 🙂
@all
For my He 100 display I have built some additional items. Two wheelchocks, a fire extinguisher and a towing cart.
The towing cart is called "Heuschrecke" and was produced in 1930 by Fa. Müller in Berlin. There was two types of different tailwheel pressure. I`ve scratch built the one with 500 kg pressure.

Christian Bruer
Sad news, but looking forward to the Siegen Show😢 Amazing job on the towing cart! Cheers, Christian

Clifford Keesler
Looking very nice Dirk.

Stefan Fraundorfer
The fire extinguisher and the towing cart are great. Painting and weathering is very nice.

Christian Lehmann
Toll gemacht Dirk. Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt was für Vorlagen zum Scratchbau du immer wieder ausgräbst.

Dirk Heyer
Danke Lemmy 🙂
Ich habe die Heuschrecke aus diesem Buch hier:

Allerdings wurde es vor 25 Jahren noch für einen Spottpreis verschleudert! :/

Pascal GARAT
Very beautiful work!

Philip De Keyser
Great scratch work Dirk, looking forward to the next steps!
Greetz, Phil

Wim van der Luijt
Interesting book Dirk....found a lot of used copies online for just a few euros...ordered one right away...thanks for the link!

Jean-Paul DEWAR
Yes Dirk your scratchbulid trolley is very nice and your fire extinguisher as. Superb work.

Vitor Hugo Sousa
Wow, wonderfull work 👍

Bernhard Schrock
Klasse gemacht: Dein Still ist unverkennbar, Dirk. Das Wägelchen sieht aus wie echt, ungeachtet des neutralen Untergrundes. Ich freue mich auf die endgültigen Bilder.

Dirk Heyer
@ Wim
Hope you will find something of interest. The book is indeed a cornucopia.
@ Mates
Thx for your kind words.
Next pictures will follow soon.

Dirk Heyer
She is ready for inspection and final preflight tests are done.
I hope you will like her shape as I do.
Greetz
Dirk

Bill Gilman
Superb craftsmanship as always, Dirk! I've always fancied this aircraft ever since I saw the full-scale replica at Planes of Fame. Now I have a nice instructional manual right here, just in case I buy this kit! Thank you! 👍

Christian Lehmann
👍

scalemates
woooooow! what a beauty! 👍

Joerg R.
WOW!!! Wieder ein gelunger Flieger von dir!

Jens
Gratuliere , ich würde sagen , bei der Basis hast Du den Anspruch auf" Modell des Jahres " auf deiner Seite 👍 Hammer Details , gefällt mir durch und durch, und ich finde , gleich wie oft ich die Bilder schaue , immer wieder Neues , einfach Hammer 👍

Manfred D.S.
ABSOLUT SPITZENMÄSSIG ! 👍

Wim van der Luijt
great result!

Holger Kranich
Dirk, was soll ich noch sagen? Jegliche Lobpreisung aus meinem Munde wäre nur ein Hohn und viel zu wenig um meiner Begeisterung Ausdruck zu verleihen...
Ausser vllt das dass die geilste He-100 ist, die ich je gebastelt gesehen habe...

Stefan Schneider
Der Kerl kann aber auch alles 🙂

Kevin Foureman
This turned out beautifully!!! Most excellent work!

Pascal GARAT
