1/48 Henschel Hs129B-2

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

Here’s the Luftwaffe’s homely gun-platform that was used extensively against Russian armor and in Italy and Africa. The reasons the plane was generally disliked by its pilots are all accurately reproduced here, including the cramped cockpit with horrible visibility, too-short control column and the improved-but-still-underpowered engines. Quality and kit features are completely up to Hasegawa’s state-of-the-art norms. Buy with confidence.

Kit is a B-2 version and includes parts for both MK 101 and MK 103 cannons. Also comes with parts for two underwing bombs and racks, but some sources say the B-2 was strictly a gun carrier only.
