Cobi Heinkel He 111 H-3 / 788 pcs.

The Heinkel He 111 was the most important medium bomber of the German Luftwaffe during World War II. It was produced from 1935 to 1944 by the Ernst Heinkel Aircraft Works in Rostock and the subsidiary Heinkel Werke Oranienburg, and was a cantilever low-wing monoplane made entirely of metal. In late autumn 1936, the Luftwaffe received its first aircraft. The first deployment took place in the Spanish Civil War on Franco's side when Kampfgruppe 88 received thirty He 111 B-1s. Due to the high speed of the He 111, strong defensive armament was initially omitted, which proved to be a disadvantage during the Battle of Britain and led to heavy losses. Since the more powerful engines were needed for fighter aircraft production, the He 111 was equipped in the H version with Jumo 211 engines instead of the more powerful DB 601. Nevertheless, it was the most produced series version. However, due to the installation of weaker engines, the aircraft were too slow compared to the modern RAF fighters, and the defensive armament had to be significantly strengthened. The subvariants H-21 to H-23 also received the more powerful Jumo 213 engine from early 1944 onwards. Model with 788 parts, printed blocks, and movable elements. Model dimensions (LxWxH): 34 x 46 x 9 cm
