#27, Captain RicRodrigues reporting for duty!!!
And I'm bringing the Heinkel He111 P2, 1:72 scale from Airfix, to join the Bomber Squadron, ready for this mission!

After lingering for ages on my bench, I've made my mind to finish this Bird. Between holidays and lack of mojo, I finally finished the Heinkel, just in time for this SIG.
A few mistakes here and there, but overall, I'm quite pleased with the final result. But I'll let you with the pictures to judge.

Lovely looking He111. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have never guessed it to be an Airfix kit. :thumb2:
