Italeri 1/48 Henschel HS 123 - Retro Military Biplane

The Italeri 1/48 Henschel HS 123 kit recreates this sturdy 1930s assault biplane at a handy scale for collectors. Initially used for ground attack missions and notable with the Condor Legion in the Spanish Civil War, the HS 123 ran on an 880 hp BMW radial engine and reached roughly 340 km/h in service.

As newer types emerged during WWII it was sidelined for general service but remained in specialist roles on the Eastern Front, including night-time strikes. This kit models the HS 123s robust lines and provides an enjoyable build aimed at history-minded modellers.
