Special Hobby 72101 Mavag Heja I (1/72)

Special Hobby 72101 Mavag Heja I is a unique plastic model kit in the popular 1/72 scale, designed for military aviation enthusiasts of the World War II era. This model represents the famous Hungarian fighter aircraft MÁVAG Héja I, which was a licensed version of the Italian Reggiane Re.2000. The aircraft was used by the Royal Hungarian Air Force from 1942 to 1944 and played a special role in air operations on the Eastern Front as well as in local defense against Soviet aviation during World War II.

It's a real treat for collectors interested in Axis countries as well as enthusiasts of rare World War II aircraft. Thanks to its well-thought-out design and traditional injection-molded technology, the kit offers precise fit of parts and provides plenty of satisfaction during assembly.

We rate the assembly difficulty as 3/5 – recommended for intermediate modelers who already have some experience working with small parts and detailing. The model requires painting, and glue and paints are not included. We recommend Special Hobby 72101 both to aviation collectors and to anyone who appreciates unusual 1/72 scale kits.
