Description
Discover the legendary Messerschmitt Me 209V-1, a race plane engineered by the Germans in 1937, before the outbreak of the war. This aircraft, piloted by Fritz Wendel in 1939, shattered the world speed record for piston-powered aircraft, reaching an astonishing 756 km/h (469 mph) - a record that stood unchallenged for three decades!
Special Hobby, the manufacturer, proudly presents this limited-edition model of the Me209V1, crafted to capture the essence of this historic aircraft. Here's what you can expect from this exceptional model kit:
[Includes]:
- Two frames of high-quality grey styrene
- One frame featuring clear injected parts for added realism
- Smaller components designed with precision 3D technology and produced using a metal moulding block for intricate detail
- A comprehensive decal sheet that includes markings for both known appearances of the Me 209V-1. Initially, the aircraft showcased a natural metal finish, and the decal set provides a series of stencils as seen on the plane.
