ICM He 111Z-1 Zwilling 1:48 Model Kit HC-ICM48260

The ICM He 111Z-1 “Zwilling” - WWII German Glider Tug, part number HC-ICM48260, is a 1:48 scale plastic model assembly kit of the German aircraft used during World War II. The kit contains 548 parts and includes assembly instructions to guide construction before the model is painted and finished.

The Heinkel He 111Z-1 Zwilling, meaning Gemini, was created by joining two He 111H-6 aircraft with a new central wing section. A fifth engine was mounted on this connecting section, giving the aircraft its distinctive five-engine layout. The design was developed as a glider tug for the Me 321 cargo glider or two Go 242 gliders, and it also served as a transport aircraft.

Twelve He 111Z-1 aircraft were built before the end of spring 1942. The type saw service mainly on the Eastern Front, and this kit provides markings for two aircraft from the winter of 1942-1943 and spring 1943. The kit also includes a two-version decal sheet, plus detailed engine and cockpit interior parts.
