About product

Heinkel He 51 B.1 1:48 (Roden)

An injection-molded plastic kit of a German single-seat fighter biplane of the 1930s in 1:48 scale from Roden. The model has a finely engraved texture, a broken-down interior and clear parts. As with every biplane, count on rigging (stretching the bracing wires between the wings), which will give the build a realistic look.

The real subject

The Heinkel He 51 was one of the first fighters of the rebuilt Luftwaffe in the 1930s. It was a single-seat biplane of all-metal construction with fabric covering. The He 51B version had a strengthened structure and could carry light armament under the fuselage. Machines of this type were also committed in the Spanish Civil War, where they soon ran up against the limits of their capability against more modern opponents.

Building and painting tips

Use thin cement for plastic and work in subassemblies. Finish and paint the interior before closing the fuselage, and mask the small glazing. The key is careful seating of the upper wing and then the rigging; the wires can be imitated with stretched filament or a special thread. Apply primer before varnishing; for period schemes, quality acrylic or enamel paints work well.

Who the model is for

  • Fans of fighter biplanes and of the air forces of the 1930s
  • Modelers who want to try rigging
  • Collectors of interwar aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Rather more experienced builders

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes. As with every biplane, the bracing wires between the wings are stretched for a realistic look. The wires are usually not included in the package and can be imitated with stretched filament or thread.

Because of the seating of the upper wing, the rigging and the fine parts we would rather recommend it to more experienced modelers.

It was one of the first fighters of the Luftwaffe of the 1930s. The machines were also committed in the Spanish Civil War.
