About product

Heinkel He 119 What if 1:72 (Valom)

A short-run injection-molded kit of the German experimental Heinkel He 119 aircraft in 1:72 scale from the Czech manufacturer Valom, in the What if edition. The box contains plastic parts with a finely engraved surface, a clear part, usually photo-etched extras and a decal sheet with fictional (hypothetical) color schemes that the machine never actually carried.

The real subject

The He 119 was a privately developed experimental high-speed aircraft of the late 1930s with an unusual layout: a coupled engine unit was placed in the fuselage behind the pilot and the drive shaft ran through the glazed nose all the way to the propeller. Only a few prototypes were built, they served for research and one of them set a speed record. The machine never entered series production or combat service, which is why the What if edition offers invented operational finishes.

Building and painting tips

Expect to clean up the sprue gates and the parts in the way that is typical of short-run kits. Wash the resin or photo-etched extras and glue them with a cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), and the plastic with a thin plastic cement. Mask the glazed nose carefully. Prime the model and spray it with an airbrush in thin coats.

Who the model is for

  • More experienced modelers with experience of short-run kits
  • Collectors of prototypes and experimental aircraft
  • Fans of What if subjects and unusual designs
  • Modelers who enjoy working with photo-etch

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The He 119 never entered combat service. The What if edition therefore offers invented operational finishes and markings that the machine never actually carried.

Its unusual layout: the engine unit was in the fuselage behind the pilot and the drive shaft ran through the glazed nose to the propeller. Only a few prototypes were built.

Rather not. It is a short-run kit that calls for cleaning up the parts and careful masking of the glazing; we recommend it to more experienced modelers.
