Henschel Hs 129

Hi guys

I'm thinking of building a Henschel Hs 129 for the MTO Group Build. I am having some problems finding info on the types of markings and camouflage for this aircraft.

Thanks in advance.

Well I was able to find one color drawing.



there is only two pattern used on this airplane. First one is consisted of the RLM 70 and RLM 71 and the topside in geometric splinter pattern with the RLM 65 at the bottom. During the winters they get coat of washable white paint over the top. The other camoufalge pattern is used in Africa and it is desert scheme with the RLM 79 at topside with spots in RLM 80. Bottom is in RLM 78.

Well its a start, and its more then I had before

Thanks Wojtek!
I forgot to mention that profiles are from Osprey books and page with text is from one of Squadron-Signal publications.

from what I learned in my brief search for this aircraft is that it was in only 2 theaters of operations. North Africa and along the Russian front.

Ok, I'm sold, This is the aircraft I'm going to build for the MTO Group Build. I ordered the book by squadron and I even found PE for it. The only problem is I can't figure out how to buy it. And lastly I need to buy the model itself. None of the online hobby sites seem to have it so either I hope my local HS has it or I'm going to have to eBay it. I should know by the end of the day.

I have a nagging feeling I'm not going to get this done by the deadline. Oh, well It'll still be a fun build.

I think you should make it. The deadline for finishing models in MTO Group Build is November 30th. So you see, there's plenty of time.

You forgot to take into consideration LIFE always gets in the way...

I got a full time job, part time job, Starting a new Business, a girlfriend and 3 kids (two which are only 18 month old). Oh, and lets not forget the Red Sox are fighting for their playoff lives.

Yep, you are right. That's why I have only one entry in this Group Build (for now anyway)...
