The B-2 floatplane version adapted the aircraft for naval and coastal operations by replacing the wheeled landing gear with twin floats, allowing operation from water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aircraft served during a period when military aviation was rapidly changing, just before faster monoplane fighters became standard. He 51 variants also appeared during the Spanish Civil War, where they quickly showed the limits of biplane fighter performance against newer aircraft designs. The float-equipped version remains one of the more unusual developments of the type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
