discussion Henschel HS 123 1/48 Italeri

[saguy]

Hello folks ....... was looking at my Sta ... (can't call it a stash as i only have 3 models ...:smiling3 .... i had a Henschel HS 123 there .... a super looking little bi plane used extensively in WW2. Basically they were used by the Germans until there were none left ..... anyhows here is my attempt. I decided that a winter camo scheme would be the order of the day and then heavily weather beaten and ultra tired looking .... i mean this asset has been parked in Russia for a good few months ..... i made numerous errors but at the end of the day i am relatively happy .... cheers and thks for having a look!!View attachment 368196View attachment 368197View attachment 368198View attachment 368199View attachment 368200View attachment 368201View attachment 368202View attachment 368203View attachment 368204View attachment 368205

Lindsey,
very nice - that looks about right! - winter camouflage is exceedingly difficult - I've tried several times, but never really happy with my finishes. I was always going back over parts, either it was too clean, or too dirty! Part of the problem, I think is never having seen anything like it in the flesh!

Very nice. A winter camouflage is something I have yet to try. You've done a great job here.
