Grey Matter Figures continues its releases of Jerry Rutman parts and kits, this time the Henschel HS 129.
As you already know, the UK company Grey Matter Figures has been releasing new castings of AM parts from master modeler Jerry Rutman. Now GMF is releasing its first full resin kit in 1/32nd scale: the Henschel HS 129. The kit is so new it isn't on the company website yet, but will be added as soon as pre-orders have been filled.

All photographs for this report were provided by AndersN - many thanks!

Thanks, Michal! This looks like a super casting from a very interesting kit. And thanks to AndersN, a member of the Large Scale Planes community, for the photos. The 129 suffered from slow speed and a lack of protection, so less than a 1,000 were built, but that's all the more reason to have a top resin kit, as styrene companies aren't likely to go down this route. And with plans already announced for the B-3, the airframe gets VERY interesting: it initially started out with the 2cm FlaK 18 cannon (ala the Stuka), but was later adapted for use with an aircraft-adapted PAK 40 75mm! Talk about cool stuff.

This is very exciting indeed! It will be nice to get a larger scale rendition of this unique and very cool airplane. It will definately shore up my Eastern Front theme collection of kits. Thank you very much for the info! Jim
