ICM Henschel Hs 123A-1 Legion Condor

The ICM 32016 model kit presents a detailed 1:32 scale plastic assembly model of the Henschel Hs 123A-1 Legion Condor aircraft from the Spanish Civil War era. This historically significant model represents the experimental ground-attack aircraft used by Germany's Condor Legion in support of Nationalist forces during the 1936-1937 conflict period. Measuring 272 mm in length with a 330 mm wingspan when assembled, the kit contains 197 precisely molded plastic components that accurately recreate the aircraft's distinctive airframe, cockpit interior, and weapon systems. The model features authentic markings for three specific aircraft from VJ/88 squadron: Hs 123A 24●3, 24●4, and 24●5 as they appeared in 1937. Engineered with high manufacturing precision, the components demonstrate excellent fit characteristics and detailed surface textures that capture the aircraft's robust construction and operational features. The Hs 123A-1 was notable for its exceptional maneuverability and durability in combat roles despite its official classification as a fighter aircraft. This comprehensive model building project includes multilingual assembly instructions with clear illustrations to guide construction. Suitable for experienced model builders with an interest in military aviation history, the kit offers an opportunity to recreate a significant chapter in early close air support development. The finished display model represents an important technological transition period in military aviation between biplane and monoplane designs.
