Original Items: Only One Available. This is very interesting cast metal (probably zinc) model Heinkel He 111 Bomber, with wings that measure 12 1/4” and fuselage that measures 9” in length. It features multiple Balkenkreuz (Beam cross) decals, as well as swas (hook cross) decals on the sides of the tail fin. It is marked as follows on the bottom:

HE 111 K
PROP   U S A

The He 111 K is technically the "Export" version of the He 111 A, which was sent to China, which would explain how it was able to be modeled. The bottom of the model also has a threaded hole in the center, most likely for some type of display stand, which is not included. It is in very good shape, with the decals still well retained.

Comes more than ready for display!

The Heinkel He 111 was a German airliner and bomber designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development, it was described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing". Due to restrictions placed on Germany after the First World War prohibiting bombers, it was presented solely as a civil airliner, although from conception the design was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a heavy bomber.

Perhaps the best-recognised German bomber of World War II due to the distinctive, extensively glazed "greenhouse" nose of the later versions, the Heinkel He 111 was the most numerous Luftwaffe bomber during the early stages of the war. It fared well until it met serious fighter opposition during the Battle of Britain, when its defensive armament was found to be inadequate. As the war progressed, the He 111 was used in a wide variety of roles on every front in the European theatre. It was used as a strategic bomber during the Battle of Britain, a torpedo bomber in the Atlantic and Arctic, and a medium bomber and a transport aircraft on the Western, Eastern, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African Front theatres.
