Not Really Tamiya? - 1/72 Scale Henschel Hs129 B “Duck” Inbox Review

In this video I take a look at Tamiya’s boxing of the 1/72 Scale Herschel Hs 129 German armoured ground attacker. Many such as myself where introduced to the Hs129 or as I like to call it the Duck, via War Thunder so I was very tempted to have a go of this rather unusual Stuka replacement attempt. So is this kit a decent one, and is it really Tamiya? Find out in this inbox review…

Back in the days, there was an Airfix kit 1/72 as well equipped with the 75 gun huge gondola

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

I’ve seen the box art for that kit👌🏻 Bit of a shame this one doesn’t include the 75mm but at some point Italeri did have it included. Thanks for watching!

Good review. Looks like a decent enough kit of a cool airplane. One in winter scheme is my pick. And it does look like a duck! Take care and see you later!

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Cheers as always mate! Yeah I do like the winter scheme. Did a similar one on my Italeri Stuka so they would go together well. I’m sure one day I’ll pick and quack on with the build (sorry for that one 😂) Catch you on the next one😁👍🏻

Reminds me of the esci kit from the 80s

[@flitsertheo]

That was a 1/48 kit first released in 1977.

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

A lot of Italeri kits are in fact ESCI rereleases, but I don’t think this is the case for the 1/72 Hs 129. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewcipriano2890]

Looks like a pretty decent kit

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

I recon so! Thanks for watching.

[@Blitz9H]

Oh I like the HS-129. Tactical air support is good to have.

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Yes me too! Hopefully it’ll deal with my T-34 problem haha. Thanks for watching!

[@Blitz9H]

@ Yes! You need a Stuka with the cannons also!

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

@@Blitz9H Haha indeed! Way ahead with that one😁: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH6sgK2Pqr57b6M

[@playofdj4910]

This made me wonder, how many models do you have?

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Well, like most model builder/collectors I have a bit of a stash. The last count was about 100…May have a slight problem haha😅

[@playofdj4910]

Dang ​@@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits thats so many..

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Haha yeah! (I think it may be a bit of an addiction😬) I have a few friends who have it worse but they are a bit older than me!

Tamiya's Henschel 129... what in the box? ITALERI from 90' s

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

Yep…not the only time Tamiya has done that. Revell also reissued this same kit under their name. Thanks for watching mate!

[@daveyjones5702]

@@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits i can confirm that the AH-64 and A-10 from this 'war birds collection' line are also reboxed italeri kits.

[@waynedaly1718]

As is their European version SAS Jeep and their Puma armoured car

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

@@waynedaly1718 That sounds about right!

[@Luca_Sprues_Model_Kits]

@@daveyjones5702 Yep! I think they also did the Italeri Fw190D which has also recently been reissued.
