The Henschel 123 started off as a dive bomber in the Spanish Civil War and was the first aircraft flown by Adolf Galland during his career in combat missions over Spain. Eventually the HS 123 was replaced in most frontline units by the JU 87 Stuka. However because of the rugged design and reliability of the HS 123, it was kept in service until 1944 and was used in a variety of roles including ground attack, reconnaissance and as a glider tug. Our 'green coloured' version is probably one of the most famous and was flown by Hauptman Josef Menapace who flew over 700 combat missions, most of them in the HS123 before being killed in action in Russia in 1943. Menapace was awarded the Knights Cross in 1942 after flying 650 combat missions.
Comes with full interior including pilots seat with seat belts, joy stick and beautifully detailed dash board.
