My local shop has this kit for sale. Is it any good

i like it beacuse it is cheap and easy. if you don't want it, snag it for me. i did find a crappy canopy for mine, i'm going to try the squdron heat and smash to make a good one. the interior is spartan and the fit mediocre, but it does look like a he111 when finished.

It's ancient, full of "operating features" and has some shape problems, especially in the nose glazing. It's supposed to represent an H-20 subtype, with the enclosed dorsal turret.

It's buildable, but if you're after something accurate, go for the Italeri or even the old Matchbox kit if you cna find it.

Or just wait for the already announced Hasegawa kit.

Hmm, not before mine. That's a great page for reference. I can almost visualise the boxart on some of those oldies but goodies. Thanks, Keeper!

Anytime! It's a great site but I have a hard time remembering where the date list is so I wind up searching the whole place! Cheers,
