Heinkel He-178V-2 The Heinkel He-178 with E. Warsitz at the controls hopped shortly above the runway for the first time on 24 August, 1939 and the real first flight took place only three days later. These were the very first flights of a jet aircraft in the world. On 1 November, while the test flights were being still in progress, the aircraft was displayed to RLM officials. Later on, the aircraft received more powerful HeS 6 engine, wing with longer span and retractable undercarriage. This version is by some sources designated as the He 178V-2. The He 178 with retractable undercarriage and longer wing is a subject of our kit. It contains two sprues with plastic parts, injected canopy, resin and photo-etched parts and decal set for the prototype.
Original price was: £14.29.£12.86Current price is: £12.86.
