He 129 - under Revell logo?
Posted by Sackgasse on Friday, May 2, 2014 1:51 AM

Hi,

found some interesting stuff in the cellar that I had forgotten all about.
The thing that caught my attention was a He-129 in 1/48 under the Revell Logo???

The kit is absolutely amazing, less then 70 parts and fit and surface detail is excellent!
No way this is Revell :) Finemolds???

The cockpit causes me some concerns - the few pictures I have found show the Pilot sitting in a very tight compartment - face almost against the front window and with what looks to be a shield armor in negative angle behind the back.

Would anyone have some experience of this kit or be able to advice?

Happy Modelling!

I found 2 reviews of a Revell He 129B-2 which says its a hasegawa kit. Here are the reviews.

Well, actually, this one isn't a review, just a couple of pics.

And this is just an in box review, so not much help.

Hi Bish,

Thank you for this input!

From what I can see there is the same error as I have done.

The Armor Plate is not correctly positioned.
