Product Description

- An interesting kit that shows the entire planning aircraft as a model.
- This is a 1/72 scale assembly kit that reproduces the long-range bomber Horten, which was proposed and planned to the Luftwaffe by the Horten brothers, who developed a unique flying wing aircraft in World War II.

- The Horten brothers developed a unique flying wing aircraft during World War II.
- At the end of the war, they began developing a fighter-bomber called the Ho229 with a jet engine in mind.
- A non-powered prototype was completed in 1944.
- A powered prototype was completed at the end of 1944 and test flights were carried out the following year.
- Unfortunately, it was never used in actual combat, but the prototype was captured and tested in the United States, and it attracted a lot of attention.
- In addition to this aircraft, the Luftwaffe is also considering developing a long-range bomber as an extension.
- The Holten brothers proposed H.XVIIIA to the Luftwaffe.
- Equipped with six jet engines, the aircraft might have been used as a transcontinental bomber to bomb the American mainland if World War II had ended a little later.

- The Horten H.18 is a transcontinental super-large bomber developed by the German military during World War II.
- It also had a flying wing shape and had stealth characteristics.
- Its basic design was an enlarged version of the Ho229, and was designed as an interceptor, but in the process of changing the design as a bomber, it was repeatedly revised and optimized, and the first completed type, the XVIII.A, was equipped with a pressurized system. It had a crew of three people, six Junkers Jumo 004 engines, was capable of flying at Mach 0.75, and was equipped with two twin MG 151 machine gun turrets on the top of the fuselage.
- It was used locally on the European front, and based on its performance, it was further improved as a transcontinental bomber, and in 1946, it bombed New York Island on the American mainland and all aircraft returned.

[About the model]
- Based on the assumption that what kind of weapons would have appeared if the end of World War II had been delayed by two years, it would have been developed using vehicles that ended up as paper plans for the German army and new technology. This is the Fist of War lineup, a series that reproduces the world that can be created because it is a model that reproduces weapons.
- This kit reproduces the transcontinental super-large bomber Horten H.XVIIIA, which is said to have been under development by the Luftwaffe.
- Scale is 1/72. The unique flying wing aircraft shape is reproduced in a large model.
- Expressions such as panel lines are also applied, giving a realistic finish.
- The air intake and exhaust ports of the six engines are also mechanical. A machine gun is also modeled on the top of the aircraft.
- Also, the cockpit has been faithfully reproduced, including the placement of the pilot and machine gunner.
- Furthermore, this kit also models the internal structure of the aircraft. You can enjoy mechanical assembly and reproduction.
- This is a fun kit for science fiction fans and airplane model fans to pick up.
