SH72192 Heinkel He 178 V-2 'First Jet Plane in the World' 1/72


When the Heinkel He 178 hopped to the air for the first time on 24 August 1939, with pilot E. Warsitz at the controls, and three days later took off for an actual flight, these flights went down in the history of aviation as the very flights of the world's first jet aircraft.


With ongoing tests, the aircraft was demonstrated to RLM top officers on 1 November. Later, the machine received a more powerful HeS 6 engine, a longer span wing and retractable landing gear. This variant is referred to in some sources as the He 178 V-2.


The He 178 V-2 with retractable landing gear and a longer wing is what we offer in our kit SH72192. It contains two sprues of styrene parts, an injection-moulded canopy, PUR parts, etchings and decals with markings for the prototype.
