You're probably right, Capt'n -- I suppose it is.. (now, do I really do that a lot.. I wonder.??)

Congrats on your latest, Pappy! Great model, great plane.

Because of YOU LOT and your 'sage' opinions, I just ended up buying a FM Battle of Britain 1/48 He111 at the 'Mule' sale - international shipping ($45) is also less than that for the 1/72 Corgi Ju 52 .

Cardo, where do you put all these big models?

A case of 'eyes bigger than stomach' actually as I really don't have the space to display everything I would like to - I try and tell myself that someday the space will be there ... pretty delusional I suppose .

(As for the 1/48 BoB He111 I bought, it was apparently out of stock due to an inventory issue so I ended up cancelling it rather than waiting for it to be back-ordered - for the best actually as I have no clue where I would actually put a rather large 1/48 He111 no matter how good it looks .)

That's good thinking Cardinal. I also crave a FM Heinkel, the torpedo one, but have no place for it. Granted it would be like $80 shipped not your silly South Pacific price, but still.

As the He 111 isn't exactly historically significant I've held off buying this model...

Ha ha just waiting for "my" livery!

Ha Ha! I can relate!

Size was the reason I gave up my He 111. As nice as it was, I really did not want to invest in shelfing space needed to accomodate it. So... I decided to go for Corgi's He 111.

Elmer, how does the 1/48 FM He111 compare with the 1/72 Corgi version (which I'm very fond of) with regard to 'rivet detail' and overall accuracy - is the larger version substantially better?
