Unimpressed by the FM kit and tired of waiting for ICM's offering? Well Vector's all-resin 1/48 Henschel Hs 126 has arrived and looks set to be an absolute stunner!
Vector's Hs 126 has been eagerly awaited by all who know the quality of their kits and accessories, and judging by the photos on Neomega Resin (Vector's UK distributor), Sergey's new Hs 126 looks set to surpass even his superb Lavochkins (see the La-5F review HERE). The interior and engine detail is quite superb and the kit includes decals for 7 aircraft. Of course, this kind of quality comes at a price, and the kit has a r.r.p. of £80. To put that in context though, the mixed media FM kit (reviewed HERE by Jean-Luc Formery) costs a pretty hefty £35 and Vector's new kit, unsurprisingly, appears to be in a different league in terms of overall quality and detail.

Vector's Henschel Hs 126 is available now at: Neomega Resin.

Hi Rowan, Very interesting news indeed. I wonder how the ICM kit will compare to this one. I don't know how they could do better though... expect for the price of course. Jean-Luc

Hi Even if this is maybe the ultimate Hs 126 .. I'd rather buy a ICM with Vector cockpit set .... approx. 100 Euro is just tooooooo much (for me) and Resin is not my favorite material for a whole kit. Still i will try the Master-X Siebel as this is really nice and small and if it goes well I will do the Rest Models He 112 V6 and then if I get a job with decent payment (put in laughter here) I might consider buying this one. Fact is ... it is a great looking kit! ... should avoid all punctuation for my next posts cheers Steffen
