[41001] 1/35 Fl 282 V-6 Kolibri

Experience the groundbreaking design of the Flettner Fl 282 V-6 Kolibri, a highly detailed 1/35 scale plastic model kit from MiniArt. This kit faithfully recreates the single-seat, open-cockpit intermeshing rotor helicopter, a pivotal development in aviation history. The Fl 282 Kolibri, or "Hummingbird," was Anton Flettner's most successful helicopter design, entering service in July 1940 after extensive prototype testing. Its exceptional handling in various weather conditions and stable flight characteristics made it ideal for roles such as submarine spotting for the German Navy in 1942.

MiniArt's commitment to accuracy is evident in this model, which captures the unique construction of the Fl 282's tubular steel fuselage with its distinctive fabric covering. Builders will appreciate the intricate details of the exposed forward section and the finely reproduced taut fabric effect on the rear. The kit also features a meticulously engineered engine and rotor transmission, with ninety plastic parts dedicated to the engine alone.
