Title: He111 ideas and inspiration
Post by: GTX_Admin on December 30, 2011, 11:51:07 AM: Hi folks,

A thread for your He111 ideas and inspiration.

Here's one to start you off:

A float plane to operate from Fjords or the Med' perhaps? Probably needs bigger floats though.

Later on some were fitted with radar and anti-shipping missiles:

Title: He-211 Albatros
Post by: sequoiaranger on January 01, 2012, 01:34:11 AM: >In 1941, the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was joined in the anti-shipping role by the He-211 "Albatros":<

Possibly refering to my "He-211 Albatros" from way back??

(http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv173/sequoiaranger/He211-r-1.jpg)

This beast was made from TWO He-111Z models to get the straight wing/engine sections, an Airmodel vac-formed early nose and wingtips, and an Airfix top turret. She carries two torpedoes. *MY* story goes that a kette of Albatros' met the wounded Bismarck way out at sea, drove off the Ark Royal's Swordfish (acting as long-range fighters), and put torpedoes into KGV and Rodney, allowing the Biz to escape destruction and return to Brest.

I have a plan to "Phoenix" this model, using a Lindberg (1/64 approx) He-111 for a larger and longer fuselage than the "standard" He-111. I may decline the re-build, as this Albatros is one of my all-time favorite models (and that of my "fans").
Title: Re: He111 ideas and inspiration
Post by: Stargazer2006 on January 03, 2012, 07:23:05 PM: The mind boggles...

My personal favorites are the night fighter (looks so natural!) and the swing-wing variant.
Title: Re: He111 ideas and inspiration
Post by: Stargazer2006 on January 03, 2012, 09:28:10 PM: May I make a suggestion? A biplane He 111... Engines would be halfway between the two wings, the tail would be a twin-fin one, and the nose would be extended further forward. I have only managed to do a top view so far, side and especially front views are awfully difficult to do!!
Title: Re: He111 ideas and inspiration
Post by: The Big Gimper on January 03, 2012, 09:41:23 PM: All excellent ideas Geoff.
Title: Biplane He111---DeHavilland "Dragon Rapide" Style?
Post by: sequoiaranger on January 04, 2012, 02:11:06 AM: I like the idea of a He-111 biplane. Maybe along the lines of the DH Dragon Rapide shown here?

(http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv173/sequoiaranger/de-havilland-dh-89a-dragon-rapide.jpg)

Most likely the thick and broad wings would have been thinned. Despite biplane bombers like the Handley-Page Heyford, trying to lift heavy weight with biplanes is very hard on the plane not securely fastened to the fuselage. The much-larger Heyford could only lift some 4,000 pounds max. The monoplane He-111 could lift more than that.
Title: Re: He111 ideas and inspiration
Post by: GTX_Admin on January 04, 2012, 03:03:58 AM: A biplane is one idea I certainly hadn't considered...great one!
Title: He-121
Post by: sequoiaranger on February 09, 2012, 12:46:14 AM: Here is another He-111 derivative. It's the ancient Faller 1/100 He-111, made into a fictional 1/72 high-altitude, jetstream-riding fighter (ex-German He-121) for Japan, with ultra-long wings, X-16 turbocharged engine (cooling and piping a la Fw-190 V18), and pressure cockpit (a turned-around top-gunner's perspex). Kinda reminds me of the He-119 with the big fan up front.

(http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv173/sequoiaranger/SoryuDone2-09-mm.jpg)

Front view (no extra charge for "hand" in the picture):

(http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv173/sequoiaranger/SoryuDoneTop-m.jpg)

No pic, but I also took a 1/144 He-111 and made a 1/72 single-engined "fighter trainer" out of it. Argus engine, open cockpit, "trousered" undercarriage (where the engine nacelles went) with a single gun in each "trouser". I do love the look/shape of the He-111!

Nope, research on another forum indicates that it apparently is not KG-55 but another squadron in Russia (Smolensk) -- may have been a KG-55 machine at one time tho.

Semi-related: Thought about a Ju 88 with the RR Darts form a Fokker Friendship a couple of weeks ago. Flown by mercs for an African storyline (much like the Biafran Invaders). Maybe donated/sold French-built ones?

Post by: GTX_Admin on May 06, 2012, 05:11:29 AM: Random thought: Do a post war (or even during war) unarmed He-111H-22 but with the standard V-1 replaced with a manned Fieseler Fi 103 Reichenberg IV. This could be in something like a bright red scheme as a testbed or even speed record bird. I'm thinking of something akin to a German B-29/X-1 combo.

I like this one - doable too, since Roden make various kits of the normal-nosed -A, -B, -C and -E versions. Their -B is in Spanish Nationalist colours, so you might imagine them trying to get more performance out hte airframe whilst on the wrong side of a post-war embargo on more advanced types...

Stretch the existing wings with a constant chord and airfoil section on each side mounting another engine (yielding a 4-engined heavy bomber)? Or if you want a really heavy bomber, the middle wing of a He111Z on each side with the outboard wing, outboard of the engines, of a standard He111.

Sorry. I posted something that was not related with He-111. So, I deleted my post. :smiley: :D

If the Do-217 could be a night fighter, why not the He-111:

Post by: killnoizer on February 09, 2023, 06:11:02 AM: I am also a bit into He111 thinking, if a kit comes crossing my way maybe , but just a question:
are the early version of the Glas nose made symetric and not like the later versions ?

The forward glazing of the He 111 V7 and V8 - prototypes for the He 111P - were noticeably different from the glazing on production models. But, AFAIK, the asymmetry existed from the outset.

Post by: Geoff on February 09, 2023, 08:24:46 PM: In the late 1930's the Irish Air Corps looked at all the twin-engined German planes as they wanted an MP plane which could also act as a troop transport.
They ended up with the Anson 1 but I always thought a He-111 would have been a more logical choice.

An Irish He111 could prove an interesting build

Supposedly taken recently somewhere in Russia (click to see bigger versions):

(https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/attachments/0101a-jpg.593933/)

It's a mockup for a Russian movie (https://www.airliners.net/photo/Germany-Air-Force/Heinkel-He-111H-22-mock-up/6224691). Pretty good 1:1 model, though.

What if a liner derived from CASA C.2111?
