The Hobby 2000 72049 Heinkel He-111H-3 Eastern Front 1941 in 1/72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit that faithfully replicates the German medium-range bomber from the Second World War. The Heinkel He 111H-3 is one of the most iconic Luftwaffe aircraft – used both during the Battle of Britain and on the Eastern Front in the campaign against the USSR in 1941. This aircraft was distinguished by its characteristic glazed nose and formed the backbone of the German bomber force in the early stages of the war.

The H-3 version entered service in 1939 as an improved variant of the original design, adapted to carry a heavier bomb load, with reinforced armor and additional defensive armament. This aircraft type was widely used during the 1941 invasion of the USSR, participating in numerous strategic bombings on the Eastern Front, especially in the battles of Smolensk and Moscow. Besides Germany, the He-111 was also operated by Spain and Turkey.
