Ratch Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The Heinkel He 112 is a German fighter aircraft designed by Walter and Siegfried Günter. It was one of four aircraft designed to compete for the 1933 fighter contract of the Luftwaffe, in which it came second behind the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Small numbers were used for a short time by the Luftwaffe. Interest was shown, but not fulfilled, by other countries. The final and perhaps most successful customer for the He 112B was Romania. The Forţã Aeronauticã Regalã Românã (Royal Romanian Air Force) ordered 24 aircraft in April 1939 and increased the order to 30 on 18 August. Deliveries started in June, with the last being delivered on 30 September. By this point, war had broken out, and with better models on the market – including Heinkel's own He 100 – no one else was interested in purchasing the design. The production line was closed after a total of only 98 aircraft, 85 of those being the B series models.

Spitfire31 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Good looking Heinkel – the aircraft and the model both! And a very attractive livery, too. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hi Ratch, I have never seen a He 112 in Romanian livery before. Quite flashy comes to mind, but I like it a lot. Great job on this not often seen kit. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
