Must admit the BoB skin looked strange at first but it's definitely growing on me. Do you plan to upload it here Huub?

Air speed record holder a Heinkel He100 V8 for Fs9
Hi Folks,
As mentioned, I've just uploaded the V8 record holder version of the Heinkel He100.
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=205&id=28152
I modified Chris's He100D to fit the V8 better, Papi did a new 2D panel and performance specs,.....something different for the weekend Sir...
Cheers

Hello, everyone-
I don't consider myself a rivet-counter in any way, and I am genuinely happy to have the V8... but all the books I have on this airplane, and a score of images I've downloaded, suggest that the V8 had the short wings and the slightly squared-off horizontal stabs, as did the V3(both aircraft being the ones chosen to attempt the speed record):
Please forgive me, I really do believe you did a beautiful job on this, but it's leaving me with questions...

Well Mike, a backhanded compliment if ever I saw one..ha ha!
Yes, you have a valid point, but again I'll say it, Chris nor I profess that the models we/I produce are 100% authentic or accurate, they could always be improved on or made closer to the real thing.
Regarding this particular ac, the reason why I didn't go any further with it, was because I would have had to re-map the texs, and I didn't want to do that. I also have a German publication which says that the some V models (unknown which ones) were later fitted with pre-production parts ie wings etc.
I will also say this again, even though this post seems otherwise, I am quite happy for comments and crtique (good/bad or ugly), genuinely, but it would be nice to have the opertunity to do that in a PM privately, otherwise it could look like someone is either showing off their knowledge or they want to embarrass someone?
And I don't understand why you would post that 'it leaves me with questions'? You have only three choices; delete it, don't fly it or fly it and try and enjoy it.....for what it is.
Cheers

My humblest apologies, Shessi- it was never my intention to pick holes in your work, and the questions I alluded to were mostly of cross-examining myself, such as wondering if MY info was incorrect, or my interpretation of the info... There should be no doubt that I am definitely a fan of yours and Chris' work, both in quality and subject matter! Also, you are absolutely right, many of the prototypes had the production wings and tail. Trust me when I say that I will certainly be flying it and enjoying it just as it is!
Apologies! -Mike Z.

When the first announcement of the FS9 model was made I started to read about this aircraft. The more I did read about it, the more I understood that the He100 wasn't really an attempt to create a new fighter, but it was an attempt by Ernst Heinkel personally to create an aircraft which would outperform the Bf109 by miles. Although there were multiple prototypes build and even a version which had the label production model, it never really lost the status of a concept aircraft, which is mainly judged on its looks an a carefully planned propaganda campaign.
The history of this aircraft is as unclear as with most pre-war aircraft. The same aircraft received different engines, different wings and different cooling systems. Prototypes were changed before they were sold to Japan and Russia. It is even doubtful whether all the production aircraft did even fly as there are only a few pictures from more than one He100 in flight.
To illustrate how little we really know: The V8 prototype broke the speed record. You can imagine the aircraft received a special status, but on the contrary, we even don't know what happened to the aircraft. It is assumed that the V10 prototype received the short wings from the V8 when this aircraft was put on display in the Munich Museum. As said assumed as it could well be that it was just a similar set of wings. But lets assume they were really form the V8 prototype. With which type of wings would the V8 than have been equipped? Yes of course with the standard production wings! And this is exactly the model Shessi has released today
.
And I'm of course happy as I don't need to do too much changes to my paintkit!
Something weird I noticed while I was reading about the He100. Have you ever seen the pictures taken after the record flight? Okay, you did , but which ones? There is a series where you see the pilot Hans Dieterle falling in the arms from Jupp Köhler while he climbs out of the aircraft after the record flight. There is a second series where the pilot falls into the arm of the same person, but now in the middle of the airstrip with the V8 prototype in the back.
Cheers,
Huub
