1/72 009 Planet Models Heinkel He-162B Volksjager with 2 AS-014 Pulse Jets - Luftwaffe

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Exc

Still factory sealed and rare. Very highly detailed resin cast kit with clear canopy. Decals and paint guide are included for the aircraft shown. The "B" variant of the infamous He-162 has two AS-14 Pulse Jets mounted on the back of the fuselage between the twin vertical stabilizers. The Heinkel He-162 Salamander is a German, single-seat, single-engine jet fighter from the end of World War II. The flight of the prototype took place on December 6, 1944. He-162 turned out to be a winner on the so-called People's fighter (German: Volksjäger), which was to protect the German sky against attacks by Allied heavy bombers. The plane had an unusual layout with the engine (MW 003E-1 or E-2) placed on top, on the fuselage, with short trapezoidal wings and a very aerodynamic silhouette. Like the Me-262, it was one of the milestones in the development of aviation. By the end of the war, however, only about 300 aircraft of this type were produced, and on a small scale they were used in combat in April and May 1945. Technical data: length: 9.05m, wingspan: 7.2m, height: 2.6m, maximum speed: 790km / h, rate of climb: 23.4m / s, maximum range: 975km, maximum ceiling 12000m, armament: permanent -2 20mm MG151 / 20 cannons.
