About The Dornier Do 335
The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow) was a technically innovative German heavy fighter-bomber
capable of a performance no other contemporary piston-engine aircraft could
achieve. However, production of this aircraft with its unique “push-pull” twin
engine layout ran out of time and not many were completed before WWII ended.
Possessing a maximum speed of 765km/h, the Do 335A-1 could easily outpace any
Allied fighter.
Especially for WWII aviation modelers, Dragon has produced its own innovative
1/72 scale model kit of a Do 335B-4, which is the heavy fighter version of the
Pfeil. As Germany’s grip on the war spiraled out of control, attention was shifted
to the B-series fighter, though only a B-1 and B-4 prototype were eventually
built. The B-4 had two 20mm MG151 cannons installed in the nose, as well as
two wing-mounted 30mm MK103 cannons. Now, Dragon has brought Dornier’s vision
to fruition with this fine model kit, which includes brand new wings to match
the long wingspan of this aircraft variant. Even the minutest detail on this
remarkable aircraft - the undercarriage and engines, for example - is accurately
represented. Photo-etched parts are also supplied in order to enhance the degree
of finesse that modelers can achieve. The Do 335 was an innovative aircraft
and its essence is captured perfectly in this Do 335B-4 model from Dragon.
