The Italeri 1/48 scale Henschel HS 123 captures a compact but powerful 1930s ground attack biplane. Historically used by the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War, the HS 123 featured an 880 hp BMW radial engine and could reach speeds around 340 km/h, reflecting its contemporary performance.
Though later fighters took precedence in WWII, the HS 123 still served on the Eastern Front in specialised roles, including night ground strikes. The kit reflects the aircrafts durable construction and is designed to provide a pleasant assembly for anyone building period military aircraft.
This Italeri kit suits modellers who enjoy accurate 1/48 scale builds. The parts layout emphasises the HS 123s form and offers a clean build sequence, resulting in a model that stands well in a collection or on display shelving.
