Historical background and model application

The Heinkel He 51 B-1 was a German biplane fighter used by the Luftwaffe between 1935–1939, i.e. during the interwar period and the early stages of World War II. The aircraft is most famous for its role in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) with the Condor Legion, serving both as a fighter and in ground support missions. The Heinkel He 51 was withdrawn from frontline service already at the beginning of the 1940s but remained a significant step in the development of German military aviation.
