Takom 5018 1/72 Silbervogel Suborbital Bomber & Atomic Payload Suite

The Silbervogel was a planned splace plane with the characteristics of a lifting body, invented by Germany during World War II in the American bomber project. This aircraft, also called an anti-land bomber because it could bomb even the other side of the Earth by ballistic flight, ended in the planning stage due to the lack of realistic assumptions such as structure and operation. However, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, which focused on the concept of a winged spacecraft that could move like an airplane at low altitude, brought back the technology created by this plan after World War II, and the extreme supersonic speed that is still being researched and developed; it was ultimately sublimated into a gliding missile.

This model kit from Takom includes a Hanomarg SS1100 tractor, two types of bombs, and two trailers. Two types of nose parts are included (for single-seat and double-seat cockpits), as well as clear parts and decals for seven versions.
