Heinkel He 178V-1 "World´s First Jet" 1/72
The Heinkel He 178 V-1 is one of the pioneering aircraft of the world. It became the very first aircraft in the world to fly powered solely by a jet engine. Hans von Ohain´s engine gave this diminutive metal-fuselage and wooden-wings aircraft speed of up to 650 km/h. Its first flight took place at the end of August 1939, on the eve of the Second World War. The model of this unique aircraft was one of the perennial stars of our production. First issued in our Condor range of models, it has been sold out and unavailable for a long time and now it is getting back to our offer in a whole-new boxing under new company´s name Special Hobby. The model itself is the same with no changes in its design and it comes with a fret of PE parts and full-colour instructions.
