Build one of the most mysterious weapons of the years with the V-1 Flying Bomb kit (Fieseler Fi 103) and take yourself back to the Second World War and discover one of its secrets. The V-1, developed by engineer Fritz Gosslau, was the first weapon to combine the characteristics of an aircraft with those of a missile, representing one of the most frightening inventions of war technology and laying the foundation for later ballistic missiles. Powered by a jet engine, the V-1 could reach speeds of up to 640 km/h and had a range of 250 km, allowing it to attack targets in Britain. The first attacks on London took place in the summer of 1944 and the rocket used a simple odometer-based navigation system to accurately reach its target. The production of the V-1 took place mainly in Germany, in special plants in Peenemünde and later in other secret locations in occupied Europe. In addition to London and the coast of England, V-1 rockets were used to bomb cities such as Antwerp and Lille.


The V-1 was part of Germany's "V" retaliatory weapons program and was the forerunner of later missiles such as the V-2. Although the V-1 was less effective than the V-2, it had enormous terrorist potential. After the war, this technology had a major impact on the development of ballistic missiles in the USA and the USSR. The V-1 Flying Bomb model is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to add one of the most famous symbols of World War II to their collection. With its precision construction, moving parts and excellent build quality, the set is a great choice for history and building enthusiasts.
