Special Hobby 72340 Blohm & Voss BV 155V-1 1/72 – plastic scale model kit

The Special Hobby 72340 Blohm & Voss BV 155V-1 model is an exceptionally interesting choice for advanced aircraft modellers fascinated by German aviation from World War II. This 1/72 scale plastic model kit faithfully replicates the unique high-altitude fighter developed for the Luftwaffe. The kit includes sprues with grey plastic parts, a clear canopy, and decals allowing you to reproduce an authentic prototype scheme. Glue and paints are not included.

History and use:
The Blohm & Voss BV 155V-1 was developed in the final phase of World War II, when the German Luftwaffe was in urgent need of high-performance interceptors capable of operating at great altitudes. It was designed to counter the high-flying Allied Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers and reconnaissance variants of the De Havilland Mosquito. The BV 155V-1 was a highly advanced technological prototype. Despite its ambitious goals, the project resulted in only a few prototypes and never entered serial production or frontline service.

Model features:

• Scale: 1/72
• Operator country: Germany (Third Reich, World War II)
• Category: plastic scale model kit
• Material: high-quality plastic, clear canopy parts
• Transparent polycarbonate canopy sprue
• Detailed surface with finely engraved panel lines and structural details
• Decals with original markings
• Comprehensive step-by-step assembly instructions

The Special Hobby 72340 model features finely crafted external and cockpit details, making it ideal for building a realistic replica of the prototype German high-altitude fighter. Due to the large number of small parts and demanding fit of components, this kit is recommended for intermediate and advanced aircraft modellers – rated at difficulty level 3/5. It makes a unique addition to any World War II model collection. This is a perfect choice for enthusiasts of atypical aircraft designs and fans of experimental German aviation.

We recommend this model to collectors looking to enhance their collection with a rare, innovative late-war aircraft and to test their skills in 1/72 scale plastic modelling.
