1/72 Heinkel He 111 KIT COMPARISON

In this video I compare Heinkel He 111 kits from Revell and Airfix in 1/72 scale.
The Revell kit is a 2005 boxing of Hasegawa's 2004 tooling and consequently is a very crisply tooled kit. This is also the same tooling used in the Hobby2000 boxings released in 2021.
The Airfix kit is the first boxing of their newly tooled He 111. First released in 2015 this kit is probably the best Heinkel He 111 in this scale. I'm building it now and it's a lovely kit.
Make sure you've got the bell on so that you're notified when the build video drops!

Very nice. I have three in the stash and one of them is the Revell kit. Thanks for the look. The Airfix kit looks amazing!

[@christinepoole4583]

Both look good. Can't wait to see the build vid

[@The_Male_Modeller]

It's coming along nicely

Thank you so much for this comparison video, as I was trying to decide between either the Revell or Airfix Heinkel. In the end I felt the Airfix Heinkel, although better overall all, didn't justify how much more it costs over the Revell kit, plus it does not come with ordnance like the Revell kit does. I am happy with my choice. 🙂

I'm so glad it was useful 😀👍

Both kits are nice.....but I missed rivets on the airfix one.....but the bomb bay from the airfix is empty that's smart and the flaps and ruders a movable that's also cool.....whatever I like both kits
And yeah it's an old Hasegawa kit🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 have fun with the build

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Roland 😃👍🏻

[@richarddouglas688]

The Revell kit is actually a reboxed Hasegawa kit.

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Absolutely! I call that out in the description 😃👍

[@charliethetplopup1359]

When's the build video coming?

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Very soon. I see you've already seen the short I posted of the finished kit

Единственный минус... в этих наборах нет свастики в декалях...У ,хасегавы, - есть!!😮

[@Mike-mm4mx]

Revell is German and to display Nazi insignia in Germany is a criminal offence. There are many aftermarket alternatives for the Hakenkreuz

[@normangebhardt]

The Airfix Kit is better!

[@The_Male_Modeller]

Yeah I'm nearly there with the build and it's one of the best airfix kits I've built. I'm really enjoying it!
