Tamiya 1/48 Dornier Do335A Pfeil & Kubelwagen Type 82 Scaled Plastic Model Kit
Dornier Do335A Pfeil
With front and rear engines and propellers, a cruciform tail and ejector seats, the Do335 was a revolutionary design, backed up with serious performance with its top airspeed of 760km/h. Work on the design had begun in 1942 and culminated in the maiden flight by the Do335V-1 in October 1943. It showed promise from the outset, and production began in earnest with the A-1 in September 1944. Both the A-1 and its A-0 prototype predecessor, were fitted with a 30mm cannon and two 20mm machine guns in the nose, and the catalog of Do335s was even joined by a single-seater fighter-bomber version in the later days of the war, although the Do335 was never to see live combat.
Kubelwagen Type 82
A true all-rounder, the versatile Kubelwagen was employed by German WWII forces on all fronts, in a variety of roles including transportation, communications, and even reconnaissance. It used as a base for the "people's car" that had originally been designed for civilian use. Its simple, lightweight design - in combination with exemplary reliability, was underpinned by an air-cooled engine and a forgiving 4-wheel independent suspension setup.
