Welcome to my Italieri HS 126B finished as a machine from 3. (H) 13 involved in the Balkans Campaign in 1941. The kit , I believe, is the ICM moulding and is not without a few faults. These being some vague location issues, brittle plastic (could be my ham fistedness as I snapped a couple of the struts) and the appalling fit of the top deck behind the engine. On the plus side the detail is more than enough, with plenty of build options. The only details I felt the need to add was a set of seatbelts, gunsight and altering the angle of the tail wheel. Paints were my usual Vallejo ModelAir, weathered with a combination of clay wash, oils and a final overspray of Tamiya XF-57 Buff to blend everything in and make it look a bit faded and dusty. I was surprised at the size of the thing as I was building it, bigger than a Ju-87, but quite good looking in it's own way. As ever, tips and criticism are welcome, how else do we improve? Thanks for looking.

Topdrawings 45 - Henschel Hs 126 ISBN : 9788365437600 Kagero via Casemate UK The HS 126 was a two seat reconnaissance / observation aircraft / Army cooperation aircraft developed by Henschel from their Hs 122. The pilot had an enclosed cockpit where as the gunner/observer had an open one. The aircraft entered service in 1937/38 and was used initially by the Condor Legion in Spain. However by the time WWII arrived it was found to be outclassed even though a the time it was the backbone of the Luftwaffe's reconnaissance squadrons. Even though the aircraft served in Europe, Africa and the Eastern front it was realised by 1941 that its front line service was over and it was relegated to training and hack roles. Some surviving aircraft were later pressed into service like many others at the tail end of the war. This book is not a reference book on the 126 per-say, but a collection of plans and colour profiles designed to help the modeller all the plans are in 1.72 & 1.48. In the centre of the book are 3 double sided A2 Plans in 1.32. As an extra there is one set of 1:48 & 1/72 masks. All text is in English & Polish. Conclusion If you're interested in these aircraft and intend to model a few of an individual aircraft then its worth investing in one of these publications. Recommended. Review sample courtesy of
