Wojciech Kulakowski has sent us great news about Silver Wings newest release. A Heinkel He-51 in 1/32 scale. If you don't know Silver Wings, it is a "new company founded by modelers, who have extensive modeling experience for over 10 years, with headquarters in Poland (Cracow)". Since they are all modelers, we couldn't expect less than great releases. Silver Wings generously sent us a preview of what to expect from the kit. Check out the photos of these masters.

The cockpit comes with a complete tubular structure and seat - no molded on details here:

This is great news about a very significant and overlooked aircraft - now in 1/32. Imagine a He-51 along with Furys and other bipes from the 30's...

Wojciech told us that the He-51 will be out by March/2009. Watch this space for a full review of the kit soon.

And by the way... Silver Wings is currently working on a American biplane fighter from the 30's.

Our sincere thanks to Silver Wings
