The Heinkel He 51B-1 was the first serial fighter of the German Luftwaffe. The initial prototype, He 51a, flew in the summer of 1933, and the He 51B-1 variant with provision for a drop tank entered production in 1936. A total of 135 aircraft were sent to Spain for service with the Legion Condor and the Spanish Nationalists as fighters and fighter-bombers. Notable pilots such as A. Galland, H. Harder and H. Trautloft flew the type. As Republican I-15 and I-16 fighters gained the upper hand, He 51s were gradually transferred to Spanish Nationalist Air Force units.

This ICM 1:72 plastic model kit (HC-ICM72191) captures the He 51B-1 with highly detailed, accurate sprues and clear assembly instructions. The kit provides four historically themed marking options covering Legion Condor and Spanish Nationalist service.
