Description

[Machine Translation] [The Horten Ho229 was the result of a unique tailless, wingless, all-wing airframe configuration developed by the German Horten brothers at the end of World War II. The first flight of the powerless prototype was successfully completed in March 1944. Later, a prototype equipped with two Junkers Jumo004 jet engines was built and made its first flight in February 1945. The prototype was then tested, and after achieving excellent results, including a maximum speed of 800 kilometers per hour, the decision was made to formalize the aircraft and mass production was planned. However, the war situation worsened. The war ended before mass production could be achieved, and the aircraft was never deployed in actual combat. At the end of the war, one aircraft, which was almost complete, was confiscated by the U.S. military, and now only the center portion, excluding the wing tips, is preserved at the American Air and Space Museum. [About the Model]The 1/48 scale model of the Horten Ho229A-1, a German WWII jet fighter with a unique shape. The fuselage, which has no tail wing, is accurately modeled with a finished length of approximately 15cm and width of approximately 35cm. The model's unique atmosphere is well represented by the skillful partitioning of parts. In addition to the exterior, the model realistically reproduces the center section of the fuselage, cockpit and engine bay. Two Jumo004 jet engines are modeled. The small number of parts used to create the model gives the model a realistic three-dimensional appearance. The model is designed to be painted and detailed with a few parts. Two 30mm machine guns are included on the outside of the engine, including their magazines. The cockpit in the center of the fuselage has been reproduced with full 3D effect, including the seat, control stick, and instrument panel. The seatbelt is also modeled. The engine panel on the back of the fuselage is also included as a separate part, allowing you to display the inside of the fuselage. The leg parts are also finished in a delicate and mechanical manner, including the tires and leg arms. Although the aircraft was not ready for actual combat, it is fun to imagine it deployed and apply markings and coloring to it. The shape of the fuselage, which was also said to be highly stealthy, can be compared with the latest aircraft to understand its advanced features. This kit is a must-have addition to any airplane model fan's collection. [Main Features] / Not only the exterior, but also the center section of the fuselage, cockpit and engine bay are realistically reproduced. Seatbelts are also modeled. / Engine part panel on the back of the fuselage is provided as a separate part. / Leg parts are finished with delicate and mechanical finish, not only tires but also leg arms.

ドラゴンモデル 1/48 WW.II ドイツ空軍 ホルテン Ho229A-1 フライングウイング

[実機について]無尾翼全翼式のユニークな機体形状を実現したのがホルテンHo229です。第二次世界大戦末期にドイツのホルテン兄弟によって開発が進められました。1944年3月に無動力の試作機が初飛行に成功。その後ユンカースのJumo004ジェットエンジン2基を搭載した試作機が作られ1945年2月に初飛行。さらに、試験飛行を実施し、その中で最高速度800キロの性能を発揮して見せるなど、優秀な結果を得たことから制式化を決定、量産化が計画されたのです。しかしながら、戦局は悪化。量産にたどり着く前に終戦を迎え、実戦配備されることはありませんでした。終戦時、ほぼ完成状態だった1機はアメリカ軍によって接収され、現在はアメリカの航空宇宙博物館に翼の先端部分を除く中央部分のみが保存されています。[モデルについて]ユニークな形状を持つ第二次大戦のドイツ軍ジェット戦闘機、ホルテンHo229A-1を1/48スケールで再現。尾翼を持たず、機体全体が翼型の全翼式の機体形状は仕上がりの全長約15cm、全幅約35cmで正確にモデル化。巧みな部品分割でモデルでもその独特な雰囲気をしっかりと表現しています。外観のみならず、モデルは機体中央部分、コクピットやエンジンベイもリアルに再現。エンジンはJumo004ジェットエンジン2基をモデル化。少ないパーツで立体感十分な仕上がりが楽しめます。塗装表現やディテールアップに腕を振るっていただけることでしょう。さらに、その外側には30mm機関砲2門を弾倉まで含めてセット。そして、機体中央のコクピットはシートや操縦桿、計器パネルなど、立体感たっぷりに再現。シートベルトもモデル化されています。また、機体背面のエンジン部分パネルは別パーツで用意されていますから、内部を見せてディスプレイすることも可能です。脚パーツもタイヤはもちろん、脚アームも繊細でメカニカルな仕上がり。実戦に間に合わなかった機体ですが、配備されたことを想像してマーキングやカラーリングを施してみるのも楽しみ。また、高いステルス性も有していたという機体形状は最新の機体と作り較べてみればその先進性も理解できることでしょう。飛行機模型ファンにはぜひコレクションに加えていただきたいキットです。[主な特徴]■外観のみならず、機体中央部分、コクピットやエンジンベイもリアルに再現■エンジンはJumo004ジェットエンジン2基をモデル化■30mm機関砲2門を弾倉まで含めてセット■機体中央のコクピットはシートや操縦桿、計器パネルなど、立体感たっぷりに再現■シートベルトもモデル化 ■機体背面のエンジン部分パネルは別パーツで用意■脚パーツもタイヤはもちろん、脚アームも繊細でメカニカルな仕上がり■仕上がり全長約15cm、全幅約35cm
