The Heinkel He-111 was a German aircraft designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development it was described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing". Due to restrictions placed on Germany after the First World War prohibiting bombers, it masqueraded as a civil airliner, although from conception the design was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a fast medium bomber.
Perhaps the best-recognised German bomber due to its distinctive, extensively glazed "greenhouse" nose (which, I might add, was a real b**ch to build), the Heinkel He-111 was the most numerous Luftwaffe bomber during the early stages of World War II. The bomber fared well until the Battle of Britain, when its weak defensive armament was exposed. Nevertheless, it proved capable of sustaining heavy damage and remaining airborne. As the war progressed, the He-111 was used in a variety of roles on every front in the European theatre.
This particular build is a He-111 for service in North Africa, carrying two SC1000 “Hermann” bombs. For the controls;
- AG1 : flaps
- AG2 : assigns control of machine guns/turrets to the VTOL & Trim sliders
- AG3 : nav lights
- AG4 : assigns the trim slider to the pitch trim tabs
- AG5 : (un)locks tail wheel steering
- AG6 : drops Hermann 1
- AG7 : drops Hermann 2
Watch out for the “dual use” of the trim slider; when using the turret controls, make sure AG4 is deactivated so that the trim tabs remain in their current position.
Have fun !!

@GRoblox SC1000's didn't fit in the He-111's bomb racks and were always carried on the outside.
Bro why's the nuclear outside the aircraft it's supposed to be inside
I just heard a sturka siren
I'm a nuke explosion RIGHT NOW when I saw this
What THE
I’d like to see an updated version of this
@hjonk sure, go ahead... see what u can make of it.
@SimplyPlain Could I try to upgrade this as practice? I may post it and I want to make sure it’s ok if I use this as a base
Nice work
@Fartspoppop sorry 'bout that. Works smoothly on my not-so-new iPhone 6, anyway.
There are 1434 parts and my device can’t hold that many parts@SimplyPlain
@Fartspoppop how so, "many"..?
Y are there so many parts@SimplyPlain
@Fartspoppop Be my guest. Suggest u leave the wings and engines, though ;)
Can u cut the part count in half
Lol
Dang dude! Nice job on this!
Ah ok. I figured it was one of the + H-13 variations. Wishing there was still a H-16 flying atleast but I guess video games is all we got eh? Still awesome tho
@WolfSpark Thanks! Some models actually had the DL 131 electrically powered turret, also found on other German bombers. Makes a bit more sense than the earlier design, where the gunner had to choose between only firing to the aft or being exposed to the elements.
The engine smoke is so realistic! heck even war thunder doesn't have that stuff, This is the best He 111 i've ever seen on this site by a mile.
Finally someone got it right!
I love it
Except the top gunner position. I don’t think any of them had a rotating turret
Awesome tho
@SimplyPlain
no I get it, i'm just putting it out there because I can >:3
@ND40X well... just google "sc1000 hermann"...
Perfection.
I'm not going to lie, the bomb to me looks a bit like the Fritz X bomb, but regardless, well done :3
