1/48 Academy - German Air Force Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein Fighter Aircraft

A 1/48 scale model kit of the Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein, a prototype jet fighter developed in the final stages of World War II by Nazi Germany. Designed as a next-generation interceptor, the Ta 183 featured a swept-wing design and a single turbojet engine, influencing post-war jet development, including the Soviet MiG-15. Although it never entered production, the Huckebein remains a fascinating "what-if" Luftwaffe aircraft.

Features:

• Accurately detailed fuselage and swept-wing design based on original concept plans
• Realistic cockpit with instrument panel and pilot seat details
• Optional open or closed canopy
• Fully detailed landing gear with extended or retracted display options
• Weapons loadout including rockets and drop tanks
• Decals for speculative Luftwaffe markings

An ideal kit for modellers interested in "what-if" German aircraft, experimental WWII jet designs, and early jet fighter concepts.
