Title: Hannover Cl.II. 1/72 Airfix conversion
Post by: Tim Mixon on May 10, 2023, 01:06:19 PM

Airfix 1/72 Hannover conversion to a Cl. II

The Cl.II had longer wings and fuselage, different tail support bracing and rigging.
It really isn’t that noticeable when compared to the Cl.IIIa

That is a beautiful conversion and by far and away the best model that I have seen made from the classic Airfix kit.

Both of your Hannovers look extraordinary.  And in 1/72 scale, no less!
