■Product Description
●1/48 scale model of a World War II rocket interceptor
About the actual aircraft
Towards the end of World War II, Germany, which was being subjected to air raids by the Allied forces, developed and operated various interceptor fighters, and one of them was the Ba349 Nutter. It was a rocket interceptor designed by Dr. Erich Bachem, who was also an engineer at Fieseler. Developed as a disposable manned rocket aircraft, it was equipped with a Walter HWK-109-509A liquid-fueled rocket engine. In addition, it was equipped with four solid-fuel rocket boosters as auxiliary power. The pilot would jump out from a vertically mounted launcher and fire the rocket mounted on the nose when approaching the enemy bomber in the sky. The pilot would then eject and parachute down. Due to a shortage of materials, the aircraft was made entirely of wood. In February 1945, an unmanned test using liquid rockets was successful. It is said that 10 aircraft were produced and deployed by the end of the war, but there are no reliable records of whether they actually participated in combat and intercepted enemy aircraft.
About the Model
This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Ba349 Nutter, a rocket-powered interceptor developed by the German army in World War II. The kit includes the Ba349 Nutter itself, as well as the engine and booster rockets. The rear of the aircraft is reproduced as a separate part, and the liquid rocket engine that is installed inside when removed is accurately reproduced. The four solid-fuel rockets installed on the rear of the fuselage are also modeled. The canopy is also a separate part, and the cockpit interior is realistic. A base for mounting the aircraft for maintenance is also included. In addition, this kit includes two figures of maintenance crew members. One is posed to be servicing the engine at the rear. The other is modeled to be equipping rockets at the nose. You can finish it in a diorama style, depicting the scene before sortie.
