Does anyone out there produce a He-115 Seaplane? |

H&R. Available from The Last Square if in the US (and even if you're not). |

No He-115 on the Last Square Website or in the H&R Spring 2012 catalog that I could find. Catalog: PDF link I had to scratchbuild my own.

What a nice air armada! I'd love to see those finished up, with crosses and other decals. Also some detail of the He 115's. Please show more photos! Pretty please :) Rolando |

WOW.
I assume these are 1/300?
Superb painting and panel detail using the pen for such a small scale!
NOT to mention that the models themselves are excellant too!
As I make a resin 1/144 He115 I can appreciate the complexity of the forward observers/gunners canopy area and you have captured it well.
I also love your Ju86 (I think they are)? in the last picture. reagrds

WOW INDEED! All this is scratchbuilt? Did you build a prototype and then cast the rest of each type, of is EACH plane a labor of love? Wow, my respect and admiration. What do you make them out of? Any quick info about technique, or process? I've been thinking of making a Yak-3. One of the best fighters of the war (some would say THE best) and none of the 1/285 or 1/300 makers has it! Rolando |

Beautiful! Why do you bother buying metal figures when your own models are so superior? Love the HE-115s. Well done VSB. |

Thanks for the comments! Pajaro, they are each handmade out of balsa or balsa and styrene. ACWBill, I do in fact make most of my own stuff save actual humanish miniatures. |
