Tamiya 1:72 Henscel Hs-129 B-2

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of German assault aircraft in 1:72 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows building the model of the German Henschel Hs 129 B-2 German assault aircraft from World War II era. The Hs 129 was the only machine of its kind produced by the Germans. Its main task was to eliminate enemy armored vehicles. In spite of its shortcomings, such as the narrowness and poor visibility of the pilots cabin and the difficulty of piloting, he did well in this role. Its main advantage was the ability to suspend the various weapons under the belly of the aircraft, most of them could easily penetrate the upper armor of most Soviet tanks.

The box contains 2 frames with elements of the model, a frame with transparent elements of the cabin and decals.

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
