Hi all,

Anyone has an idea whether the Heinkel He115 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_115) has been produced in 1/48 scale?

I've sent a few emails to Planet Models over the past year hinting that they should do the Heinkel He 115 and the He 114. I've never heard back from them.

I have an Airfix He-115 in 1/72. It was fairly large plane. It would be a good model in 1/48

The Revell He 115 was originally released by Matchbox in the late 70s or early-80s IIRC.

Steve, are you sure your kit is an Airifx kit? I don't think they ever did one.

Airmodel released a vacuform kit in 1972. Cant find a reference for Airfix kit . Matchbox did one also. Revell of Germany was reboxed by various companies.
