About product

Focke-Wulf Triebflügel (1:35, MiniArt)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German project fighter Focke-Wulf Triebflügel in the unusual 1:35 scale from the maker MiniArt. It is a paper project from the end of the Second World War which never took off, so the model captures a concept that was never realized. The kit has a smaller part count made up for by quality; the package usually contains clear and photo-etched parts. Check the exact contents of the package against this item.

The real subject

The Triebflügel was a German design of 1944 for a fighter with vertical takeoff and landing (a so-called tailsitter, taking off and landing on its tail). It had no conventional lifting wings; both lift and thrust were provided by a three-blade rotor in the middle of the fuselage, spun up by ramjets at the tips of the blades. Only models for the wind tunnel were made; the end of the war in 1945 stopped development before a real prototype could be built. No Triebflügel therefore ever flew.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic with liquid modeling cement. The heart of the build is the rotor with the ramjets, so seat it carefully and symmetrically. Because the machine never really existed, you have great creative freedom in the choice of camouflage and markings (it is a hypothetical what-if). Glue the photo-etched parts with super glue and mask the canopy glazing before spraying over a base coat (primer).

Who the model is for

  • Lovers of unrealized aviation projects (the so-called Luftwaffe 46)
  • Collectors of unusual and futuristic subjects
  • Modelers who will appreciate the freedom in camouflage and markings
  • More advanced beginners as well as experienced builders

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It was a project of 1944 from which only wind tunnel models were made. The end of the war stopped development before a real prototype was built.

It was a fighter with vertical takeoff and landing on its tail. It had no conventional wings; both lift and thrust came from a three-blade rotor spun up by ramjets at the tips of the blades.

MiniArt chose 1:35 scale for this aircraft, which is unusual for aircraft (it is more common for military vehicles). It is the maker's intention, not a mistake.
