Marco Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi everyone! I finished ths Henschel Hs-129 This is the Italeri 1/72 kit OOB except for the Eduard PE cockpit (which is completely hidden). I used Gunze Mr. Hobby paints and the swastikas came from an Extradecal sheet (the kit has none). Hope you like it! Marco 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi Marco, it is a very convincing Hs 129, beautifully painted. The little flag on the antenna mast I believe should be white from some photos I remember seeing a while back. I agree with you, as much as the Italeri cockpit can do with PE/resin improvement, not much remains visible with such an armored canopy!!! So congrats for a job superbly done.

Roman Schilhart Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) A very attractive aircraft, in my opinion! You've done a very good job on construction & camoflage. I have the very same kit, picked for cheap from the second-hand-box of my hobby shop, awaiting its turn. Yours is a good inspiration!

Nice to know about the flag. My only references were profile drawings (one was brown and the other green). 3 hours ago, Roman Schilhart said: A very attractive aircraft, in my opinion!

The kit builds nicely but I didn't like the canopy (it doesn't look like the real thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Superb finish, Marco. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Very well painted. I have just done my Zero with a similar scheme, so know how hard it is to do those blotches and keep them even. You have done a better job than me. They look very even in intensity which is the hard thing to achieve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
