Introduction
The 1/48 scale Henschel Hs-123A-1 is a relatively new kit by AMtech. The kit is comprised of three main parts: ESCI sprues, Blackbox resin cockpit and a new sprue of unspatted landing gear made by AMtech. The decals are new as well and are also made by AMtech. I've conducted both an inbox and full-build reviews of this kit. The reviews can be found at the following links:

:-) A very well written and informative article. Thanks Bryan
I now have no excuses about getting one of these detail sets :-) A pity it dosen't include bombs and bomb racks though.

Thanks, Bryan. I picked up this kit at the last 50% off Hobby Lobby sale, but haven't started it yet. Your full-build review will be very helpful when I do. Great article.

Hi Bryan
I got a pair of these beasties by mail order from the States (still haven't seen one over here), so your Feature is going to be ESSENTIAL reading!! :-) :-)
I can't help feeling AMtech have missed an opportunity and left the job "half done"... after all the effort of adding an un-spatted u/c and commissioning a resin cockpit, it's such a shame they haven't chosen to replace a lot of the old Esci detail parts, which are pretty heavy by today's standards.
I guess we should just be thankful to see an Hs123 available again :-)
Nice one :-) :-) :-)
