The Henschel Hs 129, often referred to by it's nickname, the Panzerknacker, (tank cracker), was a World War II ground attack aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe.
Four companies were asked to respond, and only two of the resulting three entries were considered worthy of consideration; Focke-Wulf's conversion of their earlier Fw 189[?] reconnaissance plane, and Henschel's new Hs 129.
The Hs 129 was designed around a single large "bathtub" of steel sheeting that made up the entire nose area of the plane, completely enclosing the pilot up to head level.

 Henschel Hs 129 gallery
Although likely to be a good anti-tank weapon, it never really hand a chance to prove itself in any real way, the plane was produced in only small numbers and deployed during a time when the Luftwaffe was unable to protect them from attack.
A series of improvements resulted in the Hs 129A-1 series, armed with two 20 mm MG 151/20's and two 7.92 mm MG 17's, along with the ability to carry four 50 kg bombs under the fuselage midline.
They moved to the eastern front in the middle of May, and in June they received a new weapon, the 30 mm MK 101 cannon with armor-piercing ammo in a midline pod.

 Amazon.ca: Henschel HS 129: Books: Denes Bernad
When German planners decided that they needed an aircraft dedicated to a ground-attack role to disrupt and destroy troops on the ground in World War II, the twin-engined Henschel Hs 129 (nicknamed 'Panzerknacker', meaning tank cracker) was the result of their development efforts.
The Henschel Hs-129 tank-killing ground attack aircraft is one of those remarkable wonders/blunders that have always  to me  defined the Luftwaffe.
The armored ground-attack version of the Fw-189 was a remarkably similar design to the Henschel, but it was bigger  and because it had the same puny Argus 440-horsepower engines  it performed less well.

Eine besondere Variante war die mit einer 30 mm- und zwei 20 mm Kanonen, zwei 7,9 mm MG und zwei 50 kg-Bomben bewaffnete Hs 129 B-1/R2.
Die Fertigung der Hs 129 lief 1944, nachdem mehr als 800 Flugzeuge hergestellt worden waren, aus.

It was with this powerplant that 10 Hs 129B-0 development aircraft were delivered from December 1941; improvements included a revised cockpit canopy and the introduction of electrically-actuated trim tabs, and armament comprised two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon and two 7.92 mm (0.31 in) MG 17 machine guns.
The lethal capability of the Hs 129B-2/R2 was amply demonstrated in the summer of 1943 during Operation 'Citadel', the German offensive which was intended to regain for them the initiative on the Eastern Front after the defeat at Stalingrad.
Because of attrition and other problems, the Hs 129 was never able to fully equip the giant anti-tank force that could be seen to be needed as early as winter 1941-42, an overall effect on the war was not great.

 Henschel Hs 129 - attack plane
The Hs 129 was designed solely for ground attack and first went into service on the Russian Front in 1942.
The Hs 129B-1 and B-2 were the major production variants, the latter fitted to carry a drop-tank.
Some were equipped experimentally with the SG 113A recoilless gun installation: a battery of six 75mm smooth-bore tubes, each 1.6m long, mounted in the fuselage at an angle slightly beyond the vertical to fire downwards and rearwards.

The answer to the second is the Hs 129 is a very early version of the dedicated airborne tank killer and general all around 'air to mud machine.' The Henschel Hs 129 was an important aircraft in the development of ground attack aircraft.
Thus was born the subject of the Hasegawa kit ­ the Hs 129B.

In 1938 the idea was revisited and executed by Henschel in the form of a small twin-engined aircraft designated the Hs 129.
In the new Hs 129 B-2 in addition to the MG 151/29 two 29 mm caliber MG 131s were built into the nose as the main armament.
The Hs 129 was an indispensable weapon in Russia and the Balkans in particular, as in most instances it was the only way to halt the large attacking Russian tank units.

Although armed with generally unsuitable aircraft such as the Henschel Hs 123 and cannon-armed versions of the Heinkel He 112, their powerful armament and fearless pilots proved that the aircraft was a very effective weapon even without bombs.
A series of improvements resulted in the Hs 129A-1 series, armed with two 20 mm MG 151/20's and two 7.92 mm MG 17's, along with the ability to carry four 50 kg bombs under the fuselage midline.

Henschel was also engaged in research considering guided missiles.
As a result air-ground Hs 293, 294, 295, 296, ground-air Hs 297, 177 and air-air Hs 298 rockets were designed.
From 1941 twin engine Hs 129 was produced.

 Henschel Hs 129 B-2 - Italeri 1/72 - Ettore Giordano
In servizio sul fronte dell’est l’Hs 129 denunciò problemi di motore; furono quindi modificati gli scarichi e gli alloggiamenti del filtro motore portandolo da una forma circolare ad una angolare ed inglobando in esso i filtri anti sabbia e polvere; altre migliorie interessarono la pompa della benzina ed i circuiti idraulici relativi.
Nonostante lo spiegamento di questi velivoli la superiorità aerea degli alleati fu così evidente che gli Hs 129 divennero ben presto il bersaglio preferito in cielo e della contraerea; poi la carenza di munizioni e parti di ricambio ridussero ulteriormente il numero di Hs 129 operativi.
Ces avions furent appelés H2 129 B-0s et ensuite Hs 129 B-1s.Sur le front de l’est le Hs 129 posa quelques problèmes de moteur qui furent résolus par des modifications au filtre, aux échappements et à la pompe de l’essence.

Henschel's Hs-129 was the Luftwaffe's first aircraft designed from the start to be used as a ground attack aircraft (the famed Ju-87 was a dive-bomber).
Prototype versions of the 129 were powered by two Argus inline, air-cooled engines and had two 7.9mm MG 17 machine guns and two Oerlikon MG/FF 20mm cannon.
The 129 served primarily in North Africa and in the Eastern Front, not being used at all in the Western Front.

Appendices include a reconstructed Hs 129 Production Table, a list of Aircraft Variants and flight statistics, and Specifications (basic and detailed).
Denes Bernad's "Henschel Hs 129" book helps address this shortage of information, and will be welcomed by modellers and Luftwaffe enthusiasts alike.

While Hasegawa's 1/48 kit of the Hs 129 is a nice kit all by itself, there are some areas that could use some improvement.
Since the cockpit of the Hs 129 was so cramped, these instruments were placed on the engines themselves.
Combining all three of these sets together will result in an Hs 129 with lots of holes in it, showing off lots of interesting detail.

 Die Luftwaffe im Modell: Panzerjäger - Henschel Hs 129 B-3
Die Henschel Hs 129 war das erste Erdkampfflugzeug der Welt, der Urahn der heutigen A-10.
Waren die Hs 129 A Serien noch mit zwei Argus As 410A-1 Motoren ausgerüstet, wechselte man bei den B-Serien zu Gnome-Rhone-14M-Sternmotoren, die nach der Niederlage Frankreichs in größerer Stückzahl verfügbar waren.
Da die Henschel Hs 129 bisher in der Literatur nur stiefmütterlich behandelt wird, sind genaue Nachweise der einzelnen Geschwader recht schwer zu finden - Ausnahme: Luftwaffe Classic Buch von Martin Pegg.

 Henschel Hs 129 B-1 in 1/72 scale
Henschel Flugzeugwerke A.G. was established at Kassel (Germany) by Oskar R. Henschel in 1933, the very same year Adolf Hitler rose to power, however the company had been manufacturing railway locomotives since 1848.
The Hs 124 was Henschel's first twin engine Schnellbomber (high-speed bomber) and although it never saw service in the Luftwaffe, it became an important step in the development of the Hs 129.
Combat experience in the Spanish Civil War proved the extreme usefulness of dive-bombers such as the Ju 87 and the Hs 123, although the lack of a superior ground strafer and fast light bomber was hard felt in that theater.

 My Tank is Flight
One such relatively forgotten plane is the Henschel HS-129 and its B-3 variant.
Henschel wasn't satisfied and neither was the Luftwaffe, so a B-3 patch was uploaded for the HS-129, upgrading its 37mm gun to a massive 75mm long-barreled tank cannon.
The Henschel 129B-3 is my personal favorite of the three, but if you're like me then you find yourself wiping a solemn tear from your eye at the sad conclusion to the BV-238 saga.
