Product Description
- The VVA-14 is an aircraft that was researched and developed as an amphibious aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing in the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
- The aircraft was capable of vertical take-off from water and land, and was designed to fly at high altitudes like a normal aircraft, or to glide over the surface of the sea due to ground effect.
- The VVA-14 was designed by Italian asylum engineer Roberto Bartini in response to the US Navy's introduction of Polaris missiles on submarines for nuclear deterrence.
- The aircraft was equipped with floats for landing on water, which were later replaced with inflatable floats.
- The lift engine, which was scheduled to be installed, was not installed in the prototype because it was only for the investigation of the characteristics during level flight and the test of the airframe system, and instead a wheel-type landing gear diverted from the Tu-22 was attached.
- The kit introduced this time is a three-dimensional prototype.
- The kit comes with a paint mask sticker and one type of decal, and when completed, it will be approximately 381mm long and 417mm wide.
