Italeri 2819 1/48 Henschel HS 123 Scale Kit - Historic Biplane Replica  [IT-2819S]

Italeri 1/48 Henschel HS 123 - Historic Biplane Replica

This Italeri 1/48 scale model represents the Henschel HS 123, a rugged 1930s ground attack biplane. Used by the Condor Legion in the Spanish Civil War, the HS 123 was powered by an 880 hp BMW radial engine and achieved speeds near 340 km/h during its service life.

Although newer aircraft superseded it during WWII, the HS 123 carried out specialist duties on the Eastern Front, notably for night ground-attack missions. The kit mirrors the aircrafts solid design and offers a rewarding build for those interested in period aviation subjects.

Construction and presentation

Targeting accuracy and neat assembly, this Italeri kit at 1/48 scale reproduces defining features of the HS 123. When completed and painted it provides a strong display piece for any WWII era modelling shelf or diorama.
