It is known as the world's first rocket-propelled aircraft. It was equipped with one Valou HWK109-509 rocket engine. It achieved a top speed of 959 km\/h and a climb rate of 160 m\/s. However, its tailless, mid-wing shape made it difficult to control, and it is said that powered flight using the engine lasted only about 7 minutes. After interception, it would glide back to base, at which point it would be exposed to attacks from Allied aircraft. The Me163S-1 Habicht trainer aircraft was created for the purpose of landing training due to the difficulty of controlling the aircraft, and it adopted a two-seat configuration with an instructor's seat behind the cockpit. The engine and armament were removed, and it was an aircraft that glided as a glider. There are no precise records remaining, but it is said that only one was produced. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003eThis is the DR5526 1\/48 WW.II German Messerschmitt Me163S-1 Habicht two-seat trainer glider, a two-seat trainer version of the German rocket-powered Me163 Komet from World War II. The scale is 1\/48. The distinctive appearance of the two-seat trainer version with an instructor's seat at the rear is accurately reproduced. The front and rear cockpits are finely detailed, with seats, instrument panels, and control sticks also reproduced. The canopy can be assembled in either the open or closed position. In addition, the landing gear comes with both skid and tire parts, which can be selected. Two pilot figures are also included, one posed climbing the rudder just before entering the cockpit. Rudder parts are also provided. It would be interesting to build this together with the operational Me163 Komet that was deployed. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: DRAGON\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: DR5526\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Product Specifications: Main Features\u003cbr\u003e●Reproduces the Messerschmitt Me163S-1 Habicht two-seat trainer in 1\/48 scale\u003cbr\u003e●The cockpit interior is also finely reproduced\u003cbr\u003e●The landing gear comes with skid parts and tire parts\u003cbr\u003e●The canopy can be opened or closed\u003cbr\u003e●Two pilot figures are included\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/48\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4545782131963\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Notes\u003cbr\u003e\r\n ・Release date, price, product name, etc. may change without notice.
