RS Models 94007 1/72 Heinkel 112 V10 with DB 601 A Engine

In late 1933, the RLM issued a specification calling for the construction of a monoplane. Four designs were produced: Arado 80, Fw 159, BF 109 and Heinkel 112. Model 112, designed by Dipl. Ing. Heinrich Hertel competed with three others at a competition held in Travemünde in October 1935.

The He 112 A series product failed and Hertel carried out a complete redesign of the aircraft under the designation He 112B. The first production prototype was the V9, which first flew in July 1937. The Japanese government placed an order for the He 112 B-0 in the fall of 1937. The first twelve aircraft were delivered to Japan in the spring of 1938. He 112 V10, prototype for the proposed He 112 E /export/ was completed in late 1937. The aircraft was retained at the Heinkel factory in downtown Marienehe for further evaluation and testing. On 1 September 1938 the V10 was sent to E-Stelle Rechlin, returning to Rostock on 20 October, before the end of the year D-IQMA finally crashed and was written off.
