About product

The Henschel Hs 123, the biplane that could not be retired

Few aircraft of the Second World War have such a contradictory biography. The Hs 123 flew in 1935 as a dive bomber, production ended as early as 1938 and the machine was to be replaced quickly. But it turned out that a robust biplane with a radial engine takes hits, gets off a muddy field and can fly so slowly that it practically stops over a target.

In Spain it served with the Condor Legion, then over Poland, France, the Balkans and finally on the Eastern Front, where it lasted until 1944, that is six years longer than its own production. Commanders of ground units asked for it back and the Luftwaffe considered restarting production, but the jigs had long since been scrapped. The last examples flew out their lives without spare parts.

Why a mask helps on a biplane

An open cockpit has little glass, but the windscreen and the instrument panel call for a clean edge that masking tape rarely holds. The die-cut shapes fit exactly and cope even with a small radius of curvature. According to the stated contents the set holds parts for both sides of the glazing.

  • Subject: a single-seat ground-attack biplane with an open cockpit.
  • What is masked: the glazing from the face and the reverse.
  • Meant for the model: the release by the brand Amtech in 1:48.
  • The benefit: a sharp frame edge without cutting tape by hand.

The kit has to be bought separately.

FAQ

Yes. The windscreen is small but curved, and it is exactly on a short arc that tape cut by hand lifts most often. A die-cut shape holds the edge more reliably.

For the release by the brand Amtech in 1:48 scale. On another kit of the same biplane the dimensions of the windscreen may differ.

It does, and the parts are supplied for the outer as well as the inner side.

No, it is purely masking material for painting a finished model.
