1/72 Ta154A-1 & Fw190A-8 “Mistel”

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

Adapted from the Hasegawa website:

One of a series of destructive designs, this “Mistel” variant was designed to be used against bomber formations. Other variants of the project were designed for use against ground targets, but the most prevalent of the Ta 154-based “Mistels” was designed to be flown into the midst of tight Allied bomber formations and detonated after the pilot bailed out. Hypothetically, this could have destroyed or damaged a significant number of bombers thanks to the quantity of explosives used. Fortunately, these aircraft never made it into production. Kit features new metal joint, jack stay, and landing gear parts plus photo-etched parts and two sets of decals.

When completed, this model kit measures about 173mm long and has a wing span of about 222mm. Parts come molded in gray. Includes clear parts and decals.
