1/48 Heinkel He-112B-0/B-1 Axis Fighter
The Heinkel He 112B was a fighter plane developed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s. It was produced by the Heinkel Flugzeugwerke company and was conceived as a high-performance fighter aircraft for the Luftwaffe, the German Air Force.
The design of the Heinkel He 112 was developed to compete to become the Luftwaffe's main fighter. However, despite its advanced features for the time, it lost the competition to the Messerschmitt Bf 109, which became Germany's main fighter during World War II.
The He 112B was one of the variants of the He 112 model. It differed from earlier versions in some improvements and changes in design and armament. The "B-0" and "B-1" referred to the subvariants of the "B" model that were produced.
Although the Heinkel He 112 did not obtain the role of main fighter for the Luftwaffe, some examples were used as training aircraft or intended for air forces of countries allied with Germany during World War II. However, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 remained the main fighter and the most widely used fighter of the German Air Force during the conflict.
