- Make a heavy fighter-type Pfile with powerful main wing machine guns in 1/72
- This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Dornier DO335B-2 Pfeil, a German fighter jet from World War II.
[About the actual machine]
- The Dornier DO335 Pfeil is a fighter aircraft developed and operated by Germany during World War II.
- Equipped with Daimler-Benz engines producing 1800 horsepower 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. 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 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 did not progress and the war ended without its ability being demonstrated in actual combat.
- The prototype heavy fighter version was the Do-335B-2, which was equipped with two 30mm Mk.103 cannons on the wings.
- Two prototypes are said to have participated in the war.
[About the model]
- This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Dornier Do335 Pfeil developed by the German military at the end of World War II.
- This model models the Do335B-2 type, which was prototyped as a heavy fighter aircraft type.
- The distinctive style with engines mounted on the front and rear of the aircraft has been realistically reproduced with a total length of approximately 190mm.
- The engine blocks and exhaust pipes of the front and rear engines are also modeled.
- 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 seats, instrument panel, and control stick.
- Also, the main wings are equipped with large fairings and the shapes of the left and right 30mm cannons are well reproduced.
- Strength is also conveyed after being heavily armed.
- Also, details such as the front landing gear, main landing gear pillar, landing gear door, and interior of the landing gear storage are delicate.
- The mechanical finish realistically represents the unique aircraft.
