-The first guide is a 1/35 Huffner Rota Buggy Modification Kit.
-This resin conversion kit is to convert Tamiya's 1/4 ton small vehicle with rotor kite [special rotary wing glider].
-A rotor buggy that first flew in 1943 was a 1 / 4-ton vehicle fitted with a 12.4 meter diameter rotor, a rear fairing, and a tail without a rudder. And a total of two pilots operating the control stick in the air were required.
-A Bentley vehicle with a 4.5-liter engine was towed and flew at a speed of 45 mph during testing, with subsequent tests being towed by a Whitley bomber.
-In early tests, the rotor buggy tended to violently vibrate at speeds of more than 72 km / h, but after improvements were made, achieved a flight at 113 km / h.
-In the last test, the aircraft flew 122m at an altitude of 105km / h for 10 minutes after being disconnected from the Whitley bomber and was rated "sufficiently satisfactory".
-However, the introduction of a military glider capable of mounting a vehicle eliminated the need for a rotor buggy and further development was cancelled.
-This remodeling kit comes with resin parts, vacuum canopy and paint mask seal (for canopy, nationality mark and experimental machine mark).
