Roden Heinkel He 111B ‘Pedro’ 1/72 German Bomber Model Kit
The Roden Heinkel He 111B ‘Pedro’ (005) is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit representing the German Heinkel He 111B bomber aircraft associated with 1937. This early version of the Heinkel He 111 provides a subject from the period preceding the Second World War, making it particularly relevant to collections of German military aviation from the 1930s.
The He 111B is a specific variant of the Heinkel bomber family. Roden’s kit focuses on this early aircraft rather than the later versions more commonly associated with Germany’s wartime bomber operations.
Heinkel He 111B ‘Pedro’
The Heinkel He 111B belongs to the early development of the German He 111 bomber series. Associated with 1937, the aircraft represents a period when German military aviation was developing the aircraft types that would become associated with the following decade.
The ‘Pedro’ designation identifies the subject of this particular release, distinguishing it from other versions of the Heinkel He 111.
For modellers interested in the development of German bomber aircraft, the He 111B provides a useful starting point for examining the earlier stages of the Heinkel series.
A German Bomber from 1937
The year 1937 places the Heinkel He 111B within the interwar period, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe.
This makes the aircraft an interesting subject for a collection arranged chronologically, particularly one following the development of German military aircraft through the 1930s and into the Second World War.
The He 111B can also be displayed alongside other German bomber types to illustrate the variety of aircraft associated with the period.
1/72 Scale Plastic Model Kit
Roden produces this Heinkel He 111B ‘Pedro’ as a 1/72 scale plastic aircraft kit. The scale allows the finished model to be displayed alongside other aircraft built to 1/72, maintaining consistent proportions between different subjects.
As a bomber aircraft, the Heinkel He 111B provides a different modelling subject from the single-engine fighter aircraft frequently represented in German aviation collections.
Assembly requires modelling glue, while paint is needed to finish the aircraft. The kit is intended to be assembled and painted as a representation of the Heinkel He 111B.
