I shudder at the PE for the Balloon Cable Cutter assembly. Here's the PE parts. They're already removed from its PE fret and the burrs sanded down with files.

Heinkel He111H-8 w/ Balloon Cable Cutter
I'm pulling this one off the shelf that I started 3 or 4 years ago. Reason why is now I finally bought canopy masks for this one over the Christmas holidays 2024.

Oh boy that looks like quite the project! Looks like you're a good way along, but I agree - that PE looks challenging... at least for me.
Thanks,

I'll have to keep an eye on this.. I have a 48th scale Ju 88 with the balloon cutter

Interesting. Glad it is you messing with the PE.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Where did you find masks for this kit, Tom?
Re: Heinkel He111H-8 w/ Balloon Cable Cutter
Very nice project Tom!
I have always liked the He-111, even in scale 1:72 it's rather big one!

Is that the one with the ballon cable cutter circle around the whole aircraft?
Yeah… lucky me
