f you have the Azur or
Aim Fan kit of the He-60
floatplane, then Print
Scale have released two
sheets perfect for you.
The first sheet covers the

Luftwaffe use of the type, while
the one we have been supplied
with mainly covers its use
during the Spanish Civil War and
afterwards. This means that we
have some very attractive artwork
of the type, normally associated
with the He-51 fighter. If that was
not enough for you we also have
a single example from Bulgaria
with its red and green rudder and
black X on a white background.

number of the Aim Fan kit. We thank
