I bet you are. Say no more, say no more!

Got a bit of work done on the He 280 today. It's still very wip, so not a lot of detail yet. I also started the Jumo 004 engine for it as well.

Very nice!! Any chance of seeing one with BMW 003 engines?

I'm fiddling with that nacelle right now. It was always my intention to do all three engine options.

Coolness!!! Maybe some of the later, larger engines (like the HeS-011) at a further point in time?

Nothing's out of the picture except for those blasted pulsejets.

Oh, I agree. Those would be entirely too uncomfortable a ride and play hell with any aiming.

Especially with six of them like one of the 280 prototypes had. The V-Tail on the other hand...

elmayerle · « **Reply #33 on:** February 01, 2012, 12:27:44 PM »

The V-tail makes sense and looks good; the pulsejets do neither.

Even better is the single tail.

elmayerle · « **Reply #35 on:** February 01, 2012, 12:52:50 PM »

I don't reckon I've seen that one. I'll be looking forward to seeing it.

Imagine something roughly in the same class as the Me 262's tail.

Talos · « **Reply #37 on:** February 03, 2012, 05:30:07 AM »

He 280 updated. Since for some reason Imageshack isn't giving the thumbnail code when I upload, you'll have to deal with this in a slightly larger format.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #38 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:51:49 AM »

Very good

Talos · « **Reply #39 on:** February 04, 2012, 06:58:32 AM »

Thanks, JP.

I'm currently in the most...fun bits of profiling. Riveting the He 100! Manually.

Coming along nicely.

Rivet madness!

Added a bunch more to the plane, updated the previous post to show. I'm past the halfway mark.

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #43 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:53:27 AM »

Very nice. Yeah, we should be able to do this soon enough. You're really getting there.

Cheers,

G'day Talo's

I would love and appreciate seeing your He 280 profile in some Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) colours and markings!!

As I could imagine, the Japanese acquiring the plans to license this jet fighter, after the RLM and Luftwaffe turned their nose up at this revolutionary design (at a detrimental cost to Nazi Germany) for the larger, more expensive and more troublesome Messerschmitt Me 262. And hence the Japanese would have a jet fighter in combat service (granted potentially in small number!) to ensure that the USAAF B-29 bombing raids on the home island, was not all one sided!!

JP Vieira · « **Reply #45 on:** February 06, 2012, 07:57:03 PM »

Very good; good luck with the riveting: it can be a tiresome job :)

Talos · « **Reply #46 on:** February 07, 2012, 12:04:14 AM »

Thanks, JP, M.A.D!

Yeah, the riveting can be quite tiresome. I'm not finished with the He 100 and then I'll have the 280 to do too.

I had been planning on doing the 280 in both IJA and IJN colors. The He 100 was supposed to be purchased by the IJN as a land-based interceptor, so in my world here, Heinkel won the Luftwaffe contract over the 109 and the He 100 jigs made it safely to Japan and didn't sink halfway there like in real life. Because they already make the Luftwaffe fighter, the 280 enters production as well, a year or 18 months earlier then the 262 would have. Japan gets some as well, also license-built by Hitachi like the He 100 was supposed to have been. They make good interceptors for B-29s, due to the shorter range of the Heinkel over the 262. The He 280B was supposed to solve that by lengthening the plane by a couple meters, which I might draw sometime after I finish the He 280A.

Talos · « **Reply #47 on:** February 13, 2012, 01:44:00 PM »

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.

As I said, I needed to take a break from the 100, so I started the rough outline work on another WWII-era plane an hour or so ago that I've been meaning to do for a year or two now. I won't go into detail about what it is exactly at the moment.
