Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

The Dornier Do335 Pfeil is a fighter aircraft developed and operated by Germany during World War II. It is equipped with Daimler-Benz engines that generate 1,800 horsepower each at the front and rear of the aircraft. It was a twin-engine fighter with a unique design, with front and rear propellers and a cross-shaped tail. It was armed with one 30mm cannon and two 20mm cannons in the nose. The prototype made its first flight in October 1943, and the mass-produced version was completed in September 1944. Production did not proceed amidst the worsening situation, and only a small number of this aircraft were completed. It was expected that it would play a major role in air defense battles in front of the onrushing Allied forces, but production slowed and the wear ended without its ability being demonstrated in actual combat. The prototype heavy fighter version was the Do-335B-2, which was equipped with two 20mm Mk.103 cannons on the wings. It is said that a prototype of the aircraft participated in the war.

This model kit from Dragon reproduces the Do335B-2 type, which was prototyped as a heavy fighter type. The distinctive style with engines mounted on the front and rear of the aircraft has been realistically reproduced, and the engine blocks and exhaust pipes of the front and rear engines are also modeled in detail. The engine cover is a separate part, so it can be removed and viewed even after completion. Furthermore, the cockpit is also detailed, including the seat, instrument panel, and control stick. The main wings are equipped with large fairings, and the shapes of the left and right 30mm cannons are also faithfully reproduced. Details such as the front landing gear, main landing gear pillar, landing gear door, and interior of the landing gear storage are also delicately expressed. Photo-etched parts and decals by Cartgraf are included. Order yours today!
