This He115 kit builds up into a fine model but is challenging in places. This video comprises photos from an earlier build, along with photos and videos of my second kit and the comparisons can be made between the original build more or less as per the instructions, and the latest iteration with some additional detail added.

My model represents an He115B-2/C, WNr 2744, coded K6+LH, which was assigned to engage convoy JW53 which sailed from Loch Ewe in north west Scotland to the Kola peninsular region of Russia on 15 February, 1943, arriving around 27 February. The Heinkel, however, was lost on 16 February, 1943, and it seems unclear as to whether or not this was through engagement with the enemy or some technical malfunction on the aircraft. The crew are still all listed as missing in action. Assigned to 1./Kü.Fl.Gr.406, this unit was usually based at Tromsø, although sometimes the unit did operate from Sørreisa, which lies immediately across the sound from the island of Senja, where the aircraft was last reported.

I hope you like the model... ;-).
