modelling minion Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi all, After a little gentle persuasion from Claudius here is one of my earlier builds which has not been shown on here before. It seems Claudius and I (and I am sure a few more of you) share an interest in the war surrounding the Mediterranean during WWII. Claudius has asked me to inflict some of my builds on the theme on you, so here we go with the first one... This is Revell's boxing of Hasegawa's excellent Henschel Hs-129 finished in the markings of the aircraft flown by Staffelkapitan Oblt. Bruno Meyer of 4.(Pz)/Sch.G2. This aircraft was later captured at Castel Benito. I hope that you all like it, all criticisms and points of view are welcome. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Nice job on a not often seen brutal looking aircraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Nice to see this pugnacious attacker in the sand and spinach camo, nicely done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Nice build! This is a camo I am willing to do on my HS129 (in 1/72), which is still waiting for his turn in a stash.... Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claudius Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well done, Minion! That beast has always been an interesting plane. Very unique in its shapes. A flying bunker. Med theatre is so intriguing to me not only because it was the main operational scenario for Italy in WW2 but also because the many different planes, their colors, the fact that took place in a temperate climate places (Greece, Italy), at sea and the North African desert. Yes, you are right. The pics are not the best ones. Sucha a good work as yours deserves better shots!!! :-) Ok... let me post another "mediterranean plane".... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thank you all very much for your very kind comments. Maybe Santa will bring me a better camera for Christmas, unless he gets confused like he does when I ask for kits and he brings me socks or something else equally as useful.

HL-10 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 That's a lovely model of quite a brutal looking machine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Two Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Always liked the Henschel 129. It's like a winged locomotive. Henschel works did a very good job with this one...A10 grandpa.. Very good model! Cammo is very interesting also. Congratulations. Edited December 24, 2014 by One-Two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Thanks again for the very kind comments guys. Yes Henschel certainly made a mean looking, and effective, aircraft in the 129. I wouldn't mind having a go at another but do it at the other extreme of the thermometer in a winter scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
