1/32 Dornier Do 335 A Fighter Bomber
The 1/32 scale Dornier Do 335 A Fighter Bomber by HK Models is one of the fastest piston aircraft of WWII. This German fighter-bomber had an innovative push-pull engine configuration that allowed it to reach high speeds. Although technologically advanced, the Do 335 saw limited combat operations due to the end of the war. The model includes detailed treatment of the cockpit, Daimler-Benz DB 603 engine sections, landing gear, and the option of open panels. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
Dornier Do 335 A Fighter Bomber in 1/32 scale by HK Models depicts a unique German heavy fighter and bomberr with an unusual twin-engine configuration - one in the nose and the other in a pusher arrangement in the rear. This concept allowed the Do 335 to reach speeds of over 760 km/h, making it the fastest piston aircraft of its time.
Development of this aircraft began in an effort to create a multi-purpose machine, capable of both fighter and strike missions. The 335 was heavily armed with MG 151/20 and MK 103 guns and could carry bombs up to 500 kg. The aircraft had excellent flight characteristics, but due to late deployment in 1944 and limited Luftwaffe production capacity, it never expanded into larger production. Only a few machines were put into service, and most examples were tested by the Allies after the war, including one surviving example in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
This 1/32 scale model offers a superior level of detail and realistic execution:
- Detailed cockpit with precision crafted control panels
- Two Daimler-Benz DB 603 engines that can be assembled in an open configuration
- Option of open panels showing the complex internal structure of the aircraft
- Fully equipped landing gear with precisely rendered hydraulic details
- Fine surface structure of the paneling, corresponding to the real machine
The Dornier Do 335 A Fighter Bomber is the ideal model for fans of advanced German aviation technology and WWII experimental aircraft.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
