ICM 1/48 He 111H-6 WWII German Bomber Scale Model Kit 48262

In the beginning of the 1930s, there was a desire for a high-speed bomber that could outpace contemporary fighter planes. One plane to come to fruition from this desire was the twin-engine bomber He 111 designed and produced by German company Heinkel Flugzeugwerke AG. From May 1941, they produced He 111H-6 planes with liquid-cooled Jumo 211F-2 engines with increased power, VS-11 propellers and more powerful armaments. This variant could carry SC 1800kg bombs or two LT F5b torpedoes externally. The He 111H-6 was the most popular variant of Heinkel’s medium bomber with approximately 1800 aircraft produced up to the end of 1942. He 111H-6s saw service on all fronts as level bombers, torpedo bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, transports, and mine layers.
