AA33709 Heinkel He111H - 14-6N + BK, 1/KGr 100 Luftwaffe, Vannef, France 1940 - Blitz Bomber "Sights & Sounds"
1:72 Scale, Limited Edition #0652 of 2060
Measures 9" nose to tail x 12" wingspan
In 1940 the all up weight of the He 111 was increased to 30,985 lbs (14055 kg) and obviously was to slow the aircraft when under a full load, but these aircraft were filled to capacity during the night raids on London during the "Blitz" and caused devastating results. The main variants were the He 111H-6 and H-14, and although not used during the Battle of Britain, they were used in great numbers in bombing raids on London and all major British cities from early 1941. These variants as well as the He 111H-5 and other German bombers continued night attacks on British targets to which Britain really had no answer.
Featuring a special interactive electronic light and sound "Bombing Mission" display stand. The base of the stand shows a silhouetted cityscape with illuminating search light and bomb flashes and authentic sounds including engines, sirens, flak and bomb blasts.
