The Henschel Hs 123 was a single-seat biplane dive bomber and close-support attack aircraft flown by the German Luftwaffe during the Spanish Civil War and the early to midpoint of World War II. It proved to be robust, durable and effective especially in severe conditions. It continued to see front-line service until 1944, only to be withdrawn due to a lack of serviceable airframes and spare parts (production ended in 1940).

That is very cool! Is that a big assed bomb on the underside between the wheels?

Old one but good one. Seriously how many hours does it take it per model.

I did one in my whole life that was even close to yours after my dad died took 50-60 hours easy

I put four good days into this one; so roughly about 36 hours or thereabouts.

I've been building a model rocket from scratch, no preconfigure parts (minus the engines,I bought those from Estes). I hoped to launch it today but ran into a major design flaw after installing the engines. It's a 2 stage rocket and I completely overlooked that the first stage won't align perfectly once it had an engine in it. Duh!

This is just the first version, I hope to eventually send a Go-Pro camera up 2000 feet and record the slow parachute ride down.

Why are people downvoting this?

A man is showing off a piece of art that he took 36 hours out of his time to do.

Lots of miserable people in this world.

As I've said before, really enjoy your aircraft models, mainly b/c I know next to nothing about tanks.

Didn't know this plane ever existed - the detail is superb.

Thanks for showing us your terrific craftsmanship.
