yes, I like this plane too and you've done a masterly job, as usual of course, with the yellow
I like the deep grooves for the cannon on the nose and the sturdy look of the cockpit
but it was an underpowered plane from what I've read

Allan,
From what I have read about the Hs 129 there were plans to produce it with more powerful engines but the war situation prevented that from happening.
The Hs 129 and Ju 87 were never used in large enough numbers to make that much of a difference in the war, what they did accomplish was quite amazing even though they were slow and easy targets for enemy fighters.
