Heinkel He 178 V-2 was a prototype jet aircraft designed in Germany just before World War II, created as the successor to the world’s first jet aircraft – the He 178 V-1. The first flights took place in 1939, and its construction set the direction for the development of military aviation. Although the He 178 did not enter serial production, its use of a revolutionary turbojet engine made it the forerunner of jet fighters in the later years of World War II. The V-2, the second prototype version, was used for aerodynamic testing and studies crucial to evaluating the design's effectiveness.

The Special Hobby 48093 kit is intended for intermediate to advanced modelers (difficulty level 3/5). Assembly instructions are clear and the parts fit perfectly, making the build process satisfying. The set is perfect for World War II aviation enthusiasts, prototype collectors, and anyone seeking unusual additions to their collection.

We recommend this model for its historical value and exceptionally rare subject in the modeling market. It also serves as a great challenge for collectors and enthusiasts of technical aviation solutions.
