Another beauty, but it raises so many questions like what was the purpose of the red and blue lines, and the whirly gig under the back seater’s position. One of the things that frustrates me about modern instruction sheets is that they do not identify the parts. I suppose that in an effort to be more international, diagrams are used rather than providing part names in ten languages.
Thank you Russell,
Usually, such lines help with the alignment of the aircraft with the bomb trajectory. But, in this case they are not visible from the cockpit. There are relatively few parts in this model so the build is quite straight forward.
Another great build, Rafi! You did a really neat job of dropping the flaps and giving a bit of "action" to the ailerons, and those hundreds of dots are mind-boggling. Congratulations! The lines appear in most clear photos of Hs 126s in the field. I would suspect that they helped in camera alignment for the observer. Whatever they are for, they must have been found helpful and important. Notice the numbers when this image is enlarged.
Very nice, Rafi @blackmopane
That desert camo looks really good on it.
Thank you, John.
What a fantastic result, Rafi!
Beautiful scheme, perfectly done!
Thank you, Spiros!
Very nice result. It's been a long time that I saw a model of this reconnaissance aircraft.
Thank you, Hans.
Great paintwork, Rafi. I have the Spanish civil war boxing of that kit in the stash. Must build.
Thank you, John.
Enjoy.

Very well done - love the paint!
Thank you, Chas!
That's a snazzy build of an aircraft you don't see modeled often! I like it!
Thank you, Greg!
