Revell 03761 1/72 Focke-Wulf TL Jager Flitzer

Focke-Wulf TL Jäger "Flitzer": The secret P-series jet fighter returns

Features

• Exclusive return: This is the first release of this model in over 15 years. A must-have for collectors of the "Luftwaffe '46" theme.
• Unique design: The distinctive construction with the twin tail booms and the central jet engine sets the "Flitzer" apart from all other fighters of its time.
• Compact project: With a manageable 38 individual parts, this model is an ideal weekend project. Despite being classified as Level 4 (due to painting and assembly), the number of parts is pleasantly manageable.
• Part of the P-Series: Add a piece of visionary engineering to your collection of prototypes and experimental aircraft.
• Historical "What if": Since there are only a few original plans, this kit offers the exciting opportunity to visualize a piece of technological history that never took off.

The Focke-Wulf "Flitzer" impresses with its unusual aesthetics. At a scale of 1:72, it fits perfectly alongside familiar models like the Me 262 or the He 162. Although the kit is classified as Level 4, the small number of parts makes it attractive even for modelers who want to try their hand at more demanding paint schemes or "short-run"-style kits for the first time. The result is an exotic eye-catcher that will spark conversation in any display case.

Background information

Under the project designation "Design VI," Focke-Wulf developed this single-engine fighter towards the end of World War II. The aim was to address the shortcomings of the Me 262 (such as its long takeoff and landing distances). Thanks to its design, the "Flitzer" (speedster) was intended to operate from shorter runways. Although detailed plans and wind tunnel models existed, the project was halted in favor of other developments before a flyable prototype could be completed. With this model, you can bring the engineers' plans to life.
