Special Hobby 1/32 scale He-100

[thierry laurent]

The cockpit is close to total fantasy but the sources are so scarce it would be difficult to blame Special Hobby. For instance, who knows how looked the starboard cockpit side...? The lack of production planes resulted in a lack of technical manuals! Indeed, the landing gear wells are also not covered in most pictures. You can just get hints of some of the details.

 

Some people copied some details of the He-112 but an examination of the rare pictures shows they were quite different beasts...

 

As the plan showed by Mike revealed it, the most obvious cockpit known problem is the seat shape. The kit one is a straight, angular seat whereas the real one was closer to the types commonly found in Italian fighters!
