Summer is over, LeO H.246 in 1/72 is also over. It’s time to share the fruits of my work with all the fellow modellers who have been waiting for them! 1/144 and 1/48 versions I will make a bit later - have to rest a bit - hope to start HP42 next week!

New left wings are printed and tommorrow I will start shipping first preorders for our LeO H.246 in 1/72!!! Still possible to order by email: [email protected]

Printing the pre-orders for our LeO in 1/72 scale has slowed down a little :) Due to a silly mistake, one of the supports fused with the surface of the left wing... so now I have to print an additional 18 left wings.
But you can still place a pre-order by emailing me at [email protected]
The price of the kit is €109–119, depending on the version and options.

Have a look on renders of the third possible option of our LeO H.246 - this is the F-AREN captured by Luftwaffe and used under registration 24+63 as transport and later deployed by KG200 in Norway. The armament includes 4 x MG15 in side positions and MG13 in nose turret. As an additional option there will be 2 passenger salon interior versions - either with 11 x two stored stretchers or with 26 × seats for soldiers.
