Heinkel He 111 Walk Around

Exactly as advertised. In great condition and prompt delivery.

Excellent illustrations what a modeller needs when building the subject.

Very pleased with purchase.

The He-111 was the Luftwaffe's premier medium bomber of WW2. Developed in 1935, it was a contemporary of the B-25. The He-111 did not have the range, defensive power or growth potential of the B-25 and suffered accordingly. Approximately 6500 of these aircraft were built. This Walk Around book has photos of restored He-111 from the RAF museum in Hendon and also from Olso, Norway.76 of the 80 pages are in color - usually that would get a five star rating, but in this case, the photos do lack the quality & crispness that one expects to find from the Walk Around series. I bought the soft cover version and on sale, so my expectations are not so high. Also. There are redeeming qualities of the book.As examples, the author has a lot of very good information in the captions such as what RLM color was used (German WW2 paint colors) for the interior and exterior. Weapons, bombs, and other equipment are shown as well. 4 pages of color line drawings, black and white line drawings also help the reader in seeing the details of this warbird.Could the book be better? Sure, but it is good enough for a modeler to detail a plane and a nice supplement to other more detailed histories of the He-111 that do not have any color photographs. I'd recommend this book, it can be found on other websites or used which makes it more attractive.

Well,seems it would not be out of the question or to much to ask ,to have clear and (IN FOCUS) pictures of the subject matter,but that somehow has escaped the publishers and the ten year old who took these photos,most of which are blurry and out of focus of the He-111, and I bought the Hardcover copy,so I guess the jokes on me!
