Airfix Henschel HS129
In September we have a Nostalgia build for kits or figures designed pre 2000 and no longer in production. I have elected to build a Airfix Henschel HS129 kit. I actually already have two kits built for this aircraft, one 20mm cannon and one 75mm canon. This model will become a photo reconnaissance aircraft that was shot down east of Laval in August 1944.Looking forward to the build if you want to join us here

Good idea. Your link sends me to my Blogger page.
ReplyDeleteSorted mate, thanks for the note

That link worked. I may throw my hat into the ring too. For me, 2000 is hardly nostalgic. I have tubs of 1/72 WWI aircraft from the ‘60s that fit the criterion for me. I must decide which to push into the production queue. Looking forward to seeing your build.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, yes I have a lot of kits unbuilt !
DeleteThe HS129! I had that kit as a kid - my second ever after the Airfix SDB Dauntless. Great memories. Thank Matt!
ReplyDeleteYes a favourite of mine too, one of the first aircraft I built when I started wargaming ww2.
DeleteWhat a classic, in the old red line box too. It's cheating as I have built it already, but you might just give me the impetus to finish painting the 'whale' Roland C.11 I built and undercoated a few months back (the Eindecker too). Good timing for me as I want to bring some things commenced and part-done to completion.

I have both the Roland and a Eindecker to paint also! Going to do some work at the end of the month on my ww1 aircraft also.
