In the spring of 1935, the prototype developed by Henschel Flugzeug-Werke A.G. made its first flight. This prototype was designated Hs-123 V1. The aircraft received positive evaluations, and in September 1936, serial production of the Hs 123A-1 modification commenced. The new attack aircraft was equipped with a BMW 132 engine, delivering 880 horsepower at takeoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs its built-in armament, it carried two synchronized machine guns mounted behind the instrument panel, firing through special ducts in the engine cowling. The lower wing, fitted with flaps, had four hardpoints for 50-kg bombs, and a single 250-kg bomb could be mounted under the fuselage. The Hs 123s were deployed with units assigned to direct infantry support, and they were also widely used in training units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the start of World War II, these aircraft were used during the invasion of Poland, and shortly after in France and the Balkans, where they demonstrated high survivability against anti-aircraft fire, even withstanding direct hits. Later, the Hs 123 saw action in Luftwaffe units during operations against the Soviet Union. Despite its outdated design, the aircraft remained in service with the German Air Force until as late as 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section sku\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003eItem number\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e32015\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section size\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003eScale\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e1:32\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section\"\u003eTime period\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eWW2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section marker_variations\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003eMarkings\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eHs 123A-1, II.(Sch)\/LG 2, 2nd (assault) Group of the 2nd Training Squadron, France, Spring 1940\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section marker_variations_2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eHs 123A-1, Flugzeugführerschule A\/B 71, Pilot School A\/B 71, Prossnitz, Summer 1941\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section marker_variations_3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eHs 123A-1, Erg.St.(Sch.)\/LG 2, Auxiliary (Assault) Squadron of the 2nd Training Squadron, Eastern Front, Winter 1942\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section marker_variations_4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eHs 123A-1, II.\/SG 2, 2nd Group, 2nd Assault Squadron, Eastern Front, Spring 1944\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section size_mm\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003eModel size (length x width)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e330 x 272 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section box_size\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003eBox size\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e410 x 260 x 55 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-aside-section detals_count\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003eNumber of details\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e201\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096301338690,"sku":"ICM-32015","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0114\/0568\/8898\/files\/32015__en.jpg?v=1773840569","url":"https:\/\/andyshhq.com\/products\/icm-32015-1-32-henschel-hs-123a-1-late-german-attack-aircraft","provider":"AndysHHQ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
