Epeeman Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Dear all, Had a trip down memory lane by building this Henschel 123 biplane. I well remember this kit as a kid so could not resist Airfix's reboxing of this as part of their 'Vintage Classics' range. You can really appreciate how the hobby has evolved over the years and we now take for granted the level of precision and detail in today's kits. That said, actually a great little, straightforward kit with easy fit of parts - provided if you can live with all the raised panel details. This was a nice, straightfoward build mostly built out of box with some minor mods (including a made up basic cockpit) carried out just to enhance things a little bit. Finished in the Spanish civil war (nationalist) markings of the Condor Legion, Spain, 1939. Regards Dave 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Great work Dave on an oldie, looks lovely. I like building the older kits too, the old Airfix Avro 504 was a particularly enjoyable build. Great job fella Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Another superb model to add to your collection Dave. This was a real gem when I built it shortly after its release and it looks as though not much has changed in the meantime. That is a real gem too.

Great job fella Chris Thanks, Chris - I really enjoyed this one - it made for a nice pleasant change of pace. I will look out now for another old kit project to update in the future.

thorfinn Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 That's as fine a finish on that old bird as I've seen. Well done! I love it when old kits get a whopping dose of TLC! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
