Here are a few images with my Heinkel-42, in Romanian markings, a 1/72 scale vacuform kit from Airmodel. Some parts, like the propeller, exhaust pipes and all cockpit components ... are scratch build.  For Romanian markings I used RB Productions decals.

The Heinkel He-42, a two-seat biplane seaplane, designed as replacement of the successuful HD-24, became in the following years the standard trainer of the Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule (DVS) - German Air Transport School - and later used by Luftwaffe until the end of World War II. 

Romania imported in 1943 from Germany, three older He-42 for training. 

Enjoy the photos.
