This was the name given to the German military operation aimed at conquering the airspace over southern England. According to the German command, this was to undermine the morale of the British people. To protect the airspace over large cities, the British used barrage balloons with taut cables. To break through the barriers, the Luftwaffe used converted airplanes on which special steel structures with cutters were installed. The cutters were also called paravans, similar to devices for protecting against sea mines. Among the converted aircraft were He 111 bombers, this modification was designated He 111H-8. Piloting such aircraft was quite difficult, as the massive structure of the paravan worsened the flight characteristics of the aircraft. Some of the see aircraft were lost during 1941, and the remaining ones were later used as conventional bombers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 411 x 472 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarking options:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe 111H-8 Paravane, unknown unit, 1941\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe 111H-8 Paravane, IV.\/KG27 \"Boelcke\", France, 1941\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe 111H-8 Paravane, 9.\/KG55 \"Greif\", France, spring 1941\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll parts in ICM model kits are highly detailed to fit the reality of the original.
