He111 ideas and inspiration

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.



Regards,

Greg

Maybe in the '60s, the Spanish decide to re-engine their CASA 2.111Bs with turboprops to create CASA 2.111Ts:

In 1941, the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was joined in the anti-shipping role by the He-211 "Albatros":



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



And just for comparison - a standard He-111H-6:

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

How about a variant with eight 20 mm MG 151/20 E cannons - two in pods under each wing and two scabbed onto either side of the cockpit:

Fabulous upon Fabulous variants.  AWACS for vectoring fighters to those nasty Yankee bombers.  Last five or so are super inspiring for kind of bashing I like to do. 
Think Boeing or Lockheed might use your concepts ???

He-211 Albatros

>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??



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").

The mind boggles...

My personal favorites are the night fighter (looks so natural!) and the swing-wing variant.

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!!

Biplane He111---DeHavilland "Dragon Rapide" Style?
« Reply #24 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?



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.
