I added a fair amount of down thrust and right thrust to the prop. This is based on experience with other similar models.

Like the original, the sub wing is quite strong (relatively). It supports the gear and keeps the top wing from bending.

The Henschel, without a prop. The plastic Peck prop I was going to use added too much nose weight. I had to build a light balsa prop.

The flying surfaces are covered with brown domestic tissue that was pre-shrunk on a frame several times. Pre-shrinking is essential for the very flimsy tail and wings. I air brushed the tissue, while still on the frame, again to prevent shrinking.

The Henschel's decals were printed onto domestic white tissue, using a laser printer. The green background colour comes from the card stock that I used as a backing to hold the tissue as it goes through the printer.

The Henschel's landing gear. It took some effort to get the wire into the right place and also have the wheels turn smoothly. I really wanted the wheels to turn properly, so that I could get a smooth landing (and possible take-off) on the gym floor.

For the Henschel's rocker arm covers, I started with a long balsa cylinder that was tear drop shaped in cross section. I then carved and sanded the full shape, while still on the cylinder (using the cylinder as a handle). I then cut off the completed shape and then started another.

The frames are built around a lamination of 2, 1/32 strips
