Product Description

--This is a guide from Micromill to 1/72 Nikitin PSN-2, which is a completely new mold.
--PSN-2 is a guided glider torpedo prototyped in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s.
--Since the 1920s, research has begun in various countries to significantly extend the range of torpedoes by launching gliding torpedoes with small wings from aircraft, whereas in the Soviet Union, unmanned gliders equipped with torpedoes are gliding. A plan was devised to guide the aircraft remotely and drop an unguided torpedo when approaching the target.
--The plan is to guide the glider suspended on the TB-3 or DB-3 bomber with an infrared and wireless [Kvant] autopilot system, and after lightning an enemy ship up to 40 km away, the aircraft will automatically land on the surface of the water. It was that.
――In order to develop this guided glider torpedo, the glider's motility and [Kvant] autopilot system were first tested using a manned prototype.
――The PSN-2 was successfully tested in manned conditions, but the development of the [Kwand] autopilot system was difficult, and the plan was canceled in 1940, before the start of the German-Soviet war.
――This time, we will release a manned prototype used for the test.
-The kit comes with a torpedo mounted under the fuselage (the dolly with wheels depicted on the package is not included in the kit).
--This injection plastic kit comes with decals and etched parts.
――When completed, the total length will be approximately 111 mm and the total width will be approximately 97 mm.
