--A guide to the completely new mold 1/72 Zenger Gilber Vogel antipodes bomber from Micromill.
--Silver Vogel (meaning [silver bird]) is a manned spaceplane devised by space rocket researcher Eugen Sänger in the US bomber project by Germany during World War II.
――The aircraft has the characteristics of a lifting body, and it was said that takeoff would be accelerated by a rocket sled using a single rail with a total length of 3 km and take off at Mach 1.5.
――After takeoff, it will be accelerated by a rocket motor, and after reaching an altitude of about 160 km / h, it will be able to obtain thermosphere and lift. It was supposed to reach not only the other side of the earth but also the other side of the earth.
――The plan was to drop a 300kg bomb when approaching the target, and after completing the mission, land on a German island in the Pacific Ocean or an area occupied by Japan, an ally.
――In this plan, the aircraft was manned, but there are still many issues such as the problem of G at launch, the impact of the sonic boom before takeoff on the aircraft, and the problem of aerodynamic heating due to the flight trajectory. Although there are no records of consideration or approach to solutions, the US and Soviet Union brought back the technology created by this plan after World War II, and turned it into a hypersonic gliding missile that is still under research and development. I am sublimating.
――This injection plastic kit comes with one type of decal and a three-dimensional 3D water slide decal with an instrument panel.
