The Henschel Hs 123 V6 took to the air in in July 1937. Differences to the A-1/B-1 model were: a BMW 132J engine, a closed canopy, an increased internal fuel tank, two additional wing-mounted MG17 (500rpg), and the possibilty to replace the drop tank with a 250kg Bomb or 4x 50kg Bombs.

does anyone have more precise technical information on the Hs 123 V6?
drawings?
photos?
how large was the fuselage fuel tank (in A/B models, it was 270l - here it was supposed to be enlarged)?
Henschel Hs 123 V6 - technical details?
Re: Henschel Hs 123 V6 - technical details?
There is a scale model of the Hs 123C available on the internet.
The Hs 123C would have been based on the Hs 123 V6.
One error: the kit model is lacking the two bullet tunnels of the hull mounted MG 17 through the engine cowling.

Unless you have access to the Henschel archives there is nothing else out there accessible to the general public.kfbr392 wrote:The Henschel Hs 123 V6 took to the air in in July 1937.
