Decals by AMtech 1/48
Henschel Hs 123A

You've no-doubt seen the AMtech 1/48 Hs 123 kit that is really the basic ESCI kit with some nice new parts. If you didn't get one of these kits when it was first released, no worries - AMtech has also released the additional parts for the Hs 123 as a detail set for you to add to your own Henschel. To make things more interesting, AMtech has released this decal set to provide more options for your project. This set covers five Hs 123As from around the various regions:

• Hs 123A-1, 3./JG 165, Furstenfeldbruk, 1937
• Hs 123A-1, 5./LG2, Belgium, 1940
• Hs 123A-1, FFS Schule 71, Frossnitz, Moravia, 1941
• Hs 123A-1, 4/SchG 2, Eastern Front, USSR, 1942
• Hs 123A-1, 61 Sqn, Spanish AF, 1945

These decals are printed by Three Guys Replicas (TGR). The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions providing excellent color references as well as decal placement information. If you haven't acquired one of these kits, fear not - AMtech has released the P-40F resin nose and decals now as a separate detail set. Check out our review under detail sets.

While other decals in the TGR line are available from online sources like Squadron Mail Order, the Decals by AMtech line is a little more difficult to locate. I did find that Hannants had this set available, though they are listed as TGR.
