Henschel Hs 129B-1

by Aleksandar Sekularac

 Hasegawa's 1/48 scale Hs 129B-2 is available online from Squadron.com

This is special edition of Hasegawa 1/48 scale Henschel Hs 129B-1 based in North Africa.

It is actually the only box to built proper B-1 type with early, round, air-intakes on the engine nacelles.

I really wanted to built a machine with the fancy desert scheme, and this kit allowed me to build it from the box. I did add some detail to the cockpit area, and I replaced the kit parts for engine exhausts with the brass tubing.

Pilot's harness is Eduard brass. The antenna wire is from invisible thread, and I made wing-tip lights from colored stretched clear sprue.

The instruction called for “Mahogany” mottles over Sandbraun, which I ignored and used standard RLM sequence: 78/79/80.

Otherwise the model is stock, and it is indeed a great kit!
