1/72 Heinkel He176

A tiny but very detailed kit of the world's first rocket-powered aircraft, the He176. Based on new information, this is the first time this important aircraft has been correctly represented in kit form. It was incorrectly assumed previously that the pilot lay prone, but this is now known not to have been the case. This kit features recessed panel lines and a fret of photoetched parts to detail the cockpit and add elevator and rudder hinges as well as wingtip skids. Clear parts are injected. Well worth the price, even with the small size (about 8cm or 3.25 inches long).
