ICM 48268 Captured Heinkel 1/48 – Plastic model kit of a captured aircraft

The ICM 48268 Captured Heinkel 1/48 scale model kit is a unique offering for aviation modeling enthusiasts who appreciate unusual subjects and historical nuances. The set allows you to build a German Heinkel aircraft, captured and operated by the Allies during World War II. Depending on the chosen painting scheme, you can replicate various versions of these renowned planes, such as the bomber Heinkel He 111 or the night fighter He 219.

The Heinkel He 111 and He 219 were the mainstays of the Luftwaffe between 1939-1945. They participated in numerous air operations on all fronts of World War II – during the Blitzkrieg in Western Europe, the Battle of Britain, and in night raids on Allied cities. After capturing damaged or abandoned planes, the Allies often restored them and used them for intelligence, training, testing, or propaganda purposes, giving them distinctive Allied markings.
