Italeri produces a very nice Hs-129 kit in 1/72 scale. It hasn't gotten a lot of press and frankly, I've never seen one built, but Aires has a really nice detail set for this plane. It includes a full cockpit as well as upper gun bays and covers. There are also a pair of access panels just behind the upper guns that are provided as well. I'm assuming that these compartments carry the radio equipment. To add to the kit, a replacement rudder and elevators are given so you can position these items in a more normal sit. The etched bits are for instrument panels (and two of these are mounted on the engine nacelles), hatch entrances, pilot's harness and a few other small items.

It is definitely a set you should consider if you are thinking about building the Revell/Italeri kit.
