Overcoming some attitude problems with a MAC computer, AMtech's new 1/48 Hs-123 Close Support/Dive bomber looks ready to hit the streets sometime next month.

Originally scheduled to be released in March of this year, AMtech has announced that the Hs-123 should be ready around the second week of May.

AMtech's version of the Hs-123 incorporates the tooling of the old ESCI kit but has several added enhancements:

• New-tool pieces for unspatted landing gear.


• 17 resin parts made by Black Box for the cockpit.


• Four decal and marking schemes including the four-color, pre-war scheme.

Production of this kit is limiited to only 5000 units of which half are already spoken for by distributors worldwide.

More information regarding the Hs-123 and other products can be found at AMtech.
