Masks for the glazing and the insignia of the Henschel Hs 123 ground-attack biplane, for a model in 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Hs 123 first flew in the middle of the 1930s as a dive bomber and was to be replaced almost at once by a more modern design with a cranked wing. Experience from the Spanish Civil War showed something else, though: as a dive bomber it did not excel, but in direct support of ground units it had no rival. The open cockpit, the sturdy landing gear and the radial engine let it take off from muddy meadows where a more modern type would have bogged down.
That is exactly why it stayed in the front line far longer than anyone had planned. It flew in Poland, in France, in the Balkans and finally on the Eastern Front, where crews regarded it as the most reliable piece of equipment they had. What proved fatal was the decision taken in 1940 to dismantle the production line. When the commander of air support asked three years later for production to be restarted, the jigs no longer existed and nobody was able to build them again. The units therefore wore the last machines down to the last screw, and by 1944 too few were left to count on any further.
The set holds glazing masks for the outside and the inside and three parts for the national insignia. On an open cockpit it is above all the windscreen that is masked, and its small frame is hard to cut by hand. The insignia masks then replace the decals for the crosses.
Apply the paint from the edge of the film inward across the area. Spraying the other way pushes pigment under the edge.
