Preowned, Resealed, Mint inside, Box worn

The Heinkel He 178 was the world's first aircraft to fly on turbojet power, lifting off from Rostock-Marienehe on 27 August 1939 with Erich Warsitz at the controls and Hans von Ohain's HeS 3 engine behind him. It preceded the Gloster E.28/39 by more than eighteen months, though the Air Ministry showed little interest and only two were built. This is a limited run kit from Condor of the Czech Republic, first released in 1994.

Box contents:

• Injection moulded plastic parts for one Heinkel He 178 V1
• Photo-etched detail fret
• Waterslide decal sheet
• Colour painting and assembly manual

This is a short run kit intended for experienced builders.
