1/72 Messerschmitt P.1107 - 4 decal v. for Luftwaffe
Plastic kit of aircraft from Czech producer RS MODELS designed for building gluing and painting. Paints, glue and brush are not included.
On January 25, 1945, Messerschmitt designed the P.1107/I jet bomber. The P.1107/ I was designed based on experience gained from the company’s earlier Me 264 bomber and was to be powered by two BMW 018 jet engines mounted under the wings or four BMW 003D or Heinkel HeS 109-011 jet engines in pairs under the wings.
4 decal variants:
1. Me P.1107, KG 40, Luftwaffe, 1946 /alternate marking/
2. Me P.1107, KG 26, Luftwaffe, 1946 /alternate marking/
3. Me P.1107, KG 53, Luftwaffe, 1946 /alternate marking/
4. Me P.1107, KG 76, Luftwaffe, 1946 /alternate marking/
The steel and duralumin fuselage was to be based on the Me 264, while the wings were to be made of wood. The landing gear was to consist of two large-diameter main wheels that retracted into the fuselage and twin nose wheels, and the tail section was to feature a high-mounted tail. Fuel tanks were to be located in the central fuselage and wings. The pressurized, heated cockpit would house a four-member crew, as well as radio and radar equipment. The offensive armament was to consist of a 4,000 kg bomb carried in the fuselage; no defensive armament was proposed. The RLM rejected the P.1107/I because they determined that it would not have sufficient speed or maximum altitude to safely reach the United States.
