1/48 Dornier Do335A LooKplus (for Tamiya)

The Dornier Do 335A, also known as the "Pfeil" (Arrow) or "Ameisenbär" (Teddy Bear), was a twin-engine fighter and interceptor aircraft developed by Dornier Flugzeugwerke during World War II. It was one of the most advanced and innovative German fighter planes of its time.

Here are some key features of the Dornier Do 335A:

Configuration: The Do 335A was a fighter plane with an unusual configuration for the time. It had a push-pull configuration, meaning that two engines were mounted one behind the other with a propeller between them, so that one engine "pushed" the plane while the other "pulled" the plane. This design was intended to improve the efficiency and performance of the plane.

Speed: The Do 335A was known for its exceptional speed. It was one of the fastest aircraft of its era, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 760 km/h (470 mph) at high altitudes, making it difficult for enemy aircraft of the time to intercept.

Armament: The plane was armed with heavy cannons and machine guns. The A-0 version had two MK 103 30-mm cannons mounted in the nose and two MG 151/20 20-mm machine guns mounted in the wings.

Role: The Do 335A was designed to perform the role of a heavy fighter and high-speed interceptor. Its speed and maneuverability made it suitable for both fighting other fighters and intercepting enemy bombers.

Production and use: Despite its excellent characteristics, the Do 335A was produced in limited numbers and did not enter service until the final months of World War II. Production and use of the aircraft were hampered by the wartime situation, Allied bombing, and engine problems.

By the end of the war, only a few examples of the Do 335A were used operationally and it did not have a significant impact on the course of the conflict. However, the Dornier Do 335A is considered one of the most advanced fighter aircraft of the period and is an interesting example of aircraft innovation and design developed during World War II.

1/48 Dornier Do335A Bomb Bay (for Tamiya) The Dornier Do 335 "Pfeil" ("Arrow" in German), company designation P 231, was a twin-engine, low-wing, experimental multi-role heavy fighter produced by Germany's Dornier-Werke GmbH in 1943.Designed as a high-speed fighter, it represented the pinnacle of piston aircraft design: despite its considerable weight (more than 10 tons fully loaded), thanks to its two Daimler-Benz DB 603 engines it reached 750 km/h at 6400 meters altitude, the fastest German piston aircraft of World War II.It had a system, patented in 1937, of two axially placed motor-propeller units: one forward of the fuselage, the other behind the cockpit, which drove the rear propeller. The Pfeil's performance was far superior to any other design due to its tractor-pusher configuration. The Do 335 was introduced during the final stages of World War II, when by then the Luftwaffe was in a critical situation: only 38 planes were delivered.The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil was the pinnacle of the propeller-driven fighter plane; the next generation of planes would have jet propulsion.
