1/72 Revell Heinkel He-177A "Greif"

As I got older, I changed my preference to 1/48 scale because it gives convenient space for detailing and most important, it pleases my eyes. The Revell 1/72 He177 kit is one exception that I made.

A great kit that builds into an attractive looking model. I could not resist adding the 30 year old Airfix kit that I revamped only once with a fresh air brushed paint coat and retained the original decals. 

The Revell kit was painted with self mixed colors that approximated RLM 02, 74 and 76 hues. A few details were added to the wheel bay and I chose not to wire the model because of its small scale.
