Almost have my He 100 finished tonight. Just a bit more and it'll be done. Had to stop and work on something else though, I thought my eyes were going to fall out. Anyway, all that's left is to finish the gunsight and integrate it, riveting on a couple small access panels, and finish up the detailing on the underside of the wing. Nearly all the riveting is complete. I even have two rows of rivets on the underside of the wing, but at this scale, you won't see them. I wonder if anyone's noticed the add-on armored glass windscreen that I slipped in a few previews ago. It'll be one of the first operational mods for the He 100D.

Wonderful! You know what to do with it when you're done.

Cheers,

Logan

Yep, I do. I should probably send you a flat, full-sized version so you can at least start laying out the shapes.

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #53 on:** February 14, 2012, 10:19:38 AM »

I'd love that.

Thanks,

Logan

Unlikely. Going by the profile, my first thought was P-72. 'Twould be interesting to see a P-72B with P-47N wings.

Nope, it's not a P-72 either.

Here's the latest update in the line art for the He 100 project with Logan.

Still haven't finished it yet, but I got most of what was left done tonight. There's only a few more items left to check off.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #57 on:** February 25, 2012, 07:19:03 PM »

Keep it up!

Agreed - whilst it is similar to a degree, the proportions and tail shape are wrong:

It was partially the proportions that made me think of the XP-60:

This new one has me stumped - it looks so familiar but I just can't put my finger on it....aaaarrrggghhhh!!!! You have to let me know soon...please!!!!

Nope, that'd be too easy. I haven't gotten any work on it, but I'll see if I can do just a bit, enough to either blow your mind or give it away. Don't know which it'll do!

Tease!!!

Talos · « **Reply #61 on:** February 29, 2012, 04:50:30 AM »

While finishing up a lot of work on the He 100 for Logan this afternoon, I went ahead and fiddled with a couple things I was doing randomly.

Actually, I think the update for this one just might end up being confusing...

While having a conversation with Logan yesterday, we ended up discussing flying boats and I commented about always being interested in the Do 24ATT. Being more of a Do 26 fan, I naturally wanted to see the ATT version of that. I had started the fuselage a long while ago, so I mocked up a quick engine installation as seen here. I'm not 100% on it yet, so I'll have to move it around a lot, tweak the shapes, etc, before the PT6As fit properly.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #62 on:** February 29, 2012, 05:34:58 AM »

Ok that is just intriguing me further....

It appears (if I am looking at it correctly) that this design has retractable floats. However the only single engined fighters with retractable floats like this that I am readily aware of are:

The Ursinus Seaplane

and the Blackburn B.44:

and this sin't either of them.

It almost reminds me of a super developed Curtiss SC-2...aarrgghh!!! Tease!!!

Talos · « **Reply #63 on:** February 29, 2012, 05:52:25 AM »

Yeah, you're probably going to hate me (don't ban me!) when I do reveal what it is.

Wow, that Blackburn is powerfully ugly....

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #64 on:** February 29, 2012, 06:00:31 AM »

It is a Blackburn.

Cheers,

Logan

So true. I don't think they could cope if an aircraft procurement request specified: "And make it look pretty."

That particular one there looks like a pregnant Spitfire.

You won't be banned...penal duty yes (you didn't know that we have our own Gulag's did you?

), but no banning...

No! No Gulag for me, I'll escape. I always escape. Chain me to a desk and make me draw more...

One more hint for now, it's not a plane I made up.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #68 on:** February 29, 2012, 01:47:52 PM »

You're just lucky that I can't find my copy of Blackburn Aircraft Since 1909...

...we are definitely preparing a special desk for you in the BTS Gulag...comrade!

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #69 on:** February 29, 2012, 01:51:52 PM »

Actually, that's what a gulag was for some designers. Polikarpov designed half of his planes from a prison cell.

Now back to work!

Cheers,

Logan

Talos · « **Reply #70 on:** February 29, 2012, 02:18:19 PM »

The difference is I would never designs something like a Blackburn or Polikarpov. That's the benefit of free labor over imprisoned labor.

I would have done a lot better in Hawker or Supermarine then Blackburn if I was a WWII British aero designer.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #71 on:** February 29, 2012, 06:23:51 PM »

Talos · « **Reply #72 on:** March 28, 2012, 10:07:38 PM »

Cross-post from Logan and my Group Build thread for the He 100. I wanted to drop a copy of the finished line art for that here too.

The thread is here. http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1128.0

Talos · « **Reply #73 on:** April 12, 2012, 08:14:28 AM »

Still unfinished, but an He 100 I've had running around in my head for a while. I still need to smooth out a few places, like detailing and shaping the deck under the aft canopy.

Basically, it's one of the early production He 100s (A0) with a cutdown aft fuselage and aft canopy taken from an He 112B.

Nice! I like your 'bubble-back' He-100 concept :)
