Henschel what?
This is a Henschel 126. Its by Matchbox. I don't have a clue what this plane's claim to fame is. It didn't even have a proper name. Just a number. Matchbox does that. They did kits of planes that no one would even look twice at. Like a BAC Strikemaster. Or a Dornier Skyservant. Or a Henschel 126. What I do know is its box art is fantastic. That it can tow gliders. And that it fought in Russia. To an 8 year old, that's more than enough for you to spend hard saved pesos on and use it in your bedroom wars with you brothers. And for you to remember it 30 odd years later. And build it again.
