Airfix Vintage Classics - Henschel Hs123A - 1:72 (A02051V)
As you might expect from a new aircraft manufacturer previously
involved in the production of railway locomotives, the Henschel Hs123 biplane attack
aircraft was as tough as they come. Intended as a dive bomber and close air support
aircraft, the Hs123 performed well during its combat introduction in the Spanish
Civil War, however, its lack of range and relatively small bomb load saw future
development suppressed due to the impending introduction of the monoplane Ju-87
Stuka. Despite this setback, the aircraft still in service at the start of WWII were
sent into action, with its pilots perfecting the art of close air support for
advancing ground units.
