Historical information: The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil was the most advanced piston fighter of the Luftwaffe at the end of the war, characterized by an unusual silhouette and a push-pull twin engine configuration. This unique solution significantly improved the aircraft’s performance, making it the fastest piston combat aircraft in the Reich. The A-10 Trainer version (Ameisenbär) was intended for pilot training and for practice use of the second position in the cockpit – featuring an enlarged canopy and additional covers. Despite its high level of technical sophistication, production difficulties meant that only a few units were built, and flights took place mainly for testing and training in the final months of World War II.

Kit features: The HK Models 01E009 kit offers impressive detail. The cockpit interior is recreated with great care, the two-seat trainer’s cabin (separate sets of seats and instrument panels for the instructor and student), realistically rendered panel lines and mechanical components, opening service panels and landing gear – all await assembly by fans of high-end modeling. The set also includes high-quality decals for accurate marking of the aircraft according to historical sources.

Assembly difficulty rating: 4/5. Designed for advanced modelers and fans of WWII aviation – requires precision and experience in assembly and painting.

Recommendation: We highly recommend this kit to every collector and hobbyist specializing in German aviation or seeking a unique, rarely seen aircraft in large scale. It also makes an excellent, demanding diorama project or a contest showpiece. An outstanding choice for modelers looking for challenges and appreciating top quality!
