What is the difference between the He51-A and the He51-B apart from "some strengthening" and a letter of the alphabet please? Not sure what the strengthening is and if it makes any difference in 1/72? Also is there anything I have missed that might need addressing? Thanks in advance |

The B had twin wire bracing to the undercarriage legs and shackles/plumbing for an external fuel tank. The undercarriage bracing has two fastenings on the outboard side forming a V-shape to a single attachment point about in line with the interplane struts. peebeep |

Many thanks Paul I have the old Hase He51-A kit with the wrong instructions and/or decals. Also now have a ICM He51-B with spare markings. May be able to scratch the plumbing and tank to make another B or try and get some decals to do an A. |

Does anyone have the decal plans for this version please?![]() or a similar scheme with the single white serial nubers. Although this also looks tempting

Yes thanks Nick The decals I have in the Hase kit have white 2 x4 but it looks like only three are needed. I think I should be able to manage with those pictures!

Might be a little while before I start on them Harriet Must admit to building subjects purely on aesthetics than any other reason! lol Melchie was building the Classic Airframes He-51 but the General has gone awol doing other things like pickling turkey wattles ready for chrimbo. |
