Hannover Cl.II. 1/72 Airfix conversion

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
















Thanks for looking in!

Tim

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!
