FW Ta 154 Moskito

WOW232: The Ta 154 was originally designed as a 2 seat fast attack bomber by Kurt Tank, it was given the designation TA 211 after the the Jumo 211 engines it was envisaged would power this new aircraft.  The new aircraft was built primarily of plywood bonded with a special adhesive called Tego film. The only large scale use of metal was within the pressurised cockpit. The Ta 154 was named in grudging respect of the RAF Mosquito but was in fact much faster than the RAF fighter and could have proved a formidable adversary had it not been for the Tego film glue being substituted for an inferior compound. This corroded the wood and led to several crashes as the aircraft disintegrated in mid flight, the same problem affected the Heinkel 162 fighter with disastrous consequences for its pilots. By the time the project was cancelled in favour of the Heinkel 219 Uhu, approximately 50 units had been produced with some seeing active service in night fighter units towards the end of the war.

This 1/30 scale hand carved Mahogany night-fighter comes in an attractive late war grey colour scheme and has detachable radar fixings. This model has a wingspan of approx 54cm wide and is approx 42cm long.
Also comes with free sample of FJ044 sentry figure, subject to availability.
