Brand PLANET MODELS

Scale: 1/72

Nation: Japan

Period: WWII

Type: Rockets / Carriers

Category Kit

Tai-atari Yuyoku Funshindan Japanese airplane-rocket kit (project 1 and 2) (2 pieces) 1/72 scale - Planet Models. The Tai-atari Yuyoku Funshindan was a kamikaze rocket plane concept developed by Japan during the final phase of World War II. This design was part of Japan's desperate efforts to counter the Allied advance using unconventional technologies and suicide tactics. Main Features Concept and Purpose: Tai-atari means "suicide attack" or "ramming attack" in Japanese, reflecting the kamikaze nature of the aircraft. Yuyoku Funshindan can be translated as "explosive wing bomb," indicating the intention to arm the aircraft with explosives built into the wings or structure. The rocket plane was designed to be used in kamikaze missions, where the pilot would guide the aircraft against enemy targets, such as ships or land bases, sacrificing his own life to maximize the damage inflicted. Design and Technology: Propulsion: The aircraft would have used a rocket engine, which would have given it high speed and maneuvering capability, at least for a short period. However, range would have been limited, making it necessary to launch close to the target. Structure: The aircraft was designed to be light and maneuverable, with a built-in explosive charge that would be activated on impact. Armament: The main armament was the explosive charge itself, with the aim of inflicting massive damage through direct impact. Historical Context: This type of aircraft was part of Japan's efforts to develop unconventional weapons in the final phase of the conflict, when resources were scarce and Allied air superiority was overwhelming. The Tai-atari Yuyoku Funshindan was part of a series of projects that included other kamikaze and rocket aircraft, such as the Ohka, a rocket plane already used for similar purposes. Utilization and Implementation: There is no concrete evidence that the Tai-atari Yuyoku Funshindan was ever produced or used in combat. Many of these designs remained on paper or in experimental stages due to Japan's increasing industrial difficulties toward the end of the war. The desperation of kamikaze tactics reflected the critical situation Japan was in, with the loss of territory, resources and men. Conclusion The Tai-atari Yuyoku Funshindan represents one of Imperial Japan's last efforts to reverse the fortunes of war through the use of extreme weapons and kamikaze tactics. Although the project never reached a significant operational phase, it testifies to the intensity and desperation of the conflict, as well as Japan's willingness to use any means to resist the Allied invasion.

Period: WWII

Type: Aircraft

Category Kit

Lippisch Li P.13 Project Luftwaffe fast bomber kit in 1/72 scale - Planet Models. The Lippisch Li P.13 was an experimental German interceptor fighter design conceived during World War II by Alexander Lippisch, a well-known aircraft designer specializing in delta aircraft. The Li P.13 was a very innovative aircraft for its time, featuring a delta configuration and the use of an unconventional propulsion system. Main Features Innovative Design: Delta wing: The Lippisch Li P.13 featured a delta-wing configuration with no tail. This design, radical for its time, reduced drag and improved stability at high speeds. Materials: The fuselage and wings were designed to be constructed primarily of wood, due to the shortage of strategic materials during the final stages of the war. Unconventional Propulsion: Ramjet engine: The most distinctive feature of the Li P.13 was its ramjet engine. This unconventional engine was designed to burn coal dust as fuel. The ramjet worked by compressing air through the aircraft's own speed and mixing it with fuel, producing a reactive thrust. Speed and Performance: The theoretical design envisioned that the Li P.13 could reach extremely high, potentially supersonic speeds, a very advanced feature for the time. Theoretical Design: Development Phase: The Li P.13 never passed the design phase and was never built. However, the principles of experimental aerodynamics and propulsion explored by Lippisch were far ahead of their time and influenced postwar jet aircraft design. Test Model: A small-scale model, known as the Li P.13a, was tested in a wind tunnel, but due to the rapid decline of Nazi Germany in 1945, the full development of the aircraft was never realized. Legacy: Postwar Influence: The ideas and concepts explored by Lippisch, including designs such as the Li P.13, had a significant influence on later developments in aerodynamics and delta aircraft, even influencing the design of some Cold War jet fighters. Conclusion The Lippisch Li P.13 remains one of the most fascinating examples of advanced aircraft engineering of World War II. Although it was never built, it represents the boldness and innovation of aerospace research at the time, anticipating many of the features that would be implemented in supersonic jets of later decades.

Shusui-shiki Kayaku Rocket 'Japanese World War II surface-to-air missile' kit in 1/72 scale - Planet Models. The Shusui-shiki Kayaku Rock et (or more commonly known as the Mitsubishi J8M Shusui) is a Japanese rocket-powered interceptor developed during World War II. It was based on the German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet rocket fighter. The name "Shusui" means "Sharp Sword" in Japanese, reflecting the fast and aggressive nature of the aircraft. Key Features of the Mitsubishi J8M Shusui Design and Construction: Origins: The J8M Shusui was developed as part of a joint effort between Japan and Germany. Due to difficulties in transporting German technologies and prototypes to Japan, the Japanese design was based on plans and drawings sent from Germany. Builder: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was contracted to build the J8M, with the cooperation of the Naval Technical Arsenal in Yokosuka. Motorization: Propeller: The Shusui was powered by a Toko Ro.2 rocket engine, based on the German Walter HWK 509A engine. This engine used a combination of chemical fuels, hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine, to generate thrust. Performance: The rocket engine provided exceptional thrust, allowing the plane to reach high speeds in a short period. The top speed was about 900 km/h (560 mph). Design and Configuration: Structure: The J8M was a low-wing monoplane aircraft with a lightweight structure and retractable landing gear. The design was very similar to the Me 163 Komet, but with some modifications to fit Japanese specifications. Dimensions: The wingspan was about 9.5 meters (31 feet), and the overall length was about 6 meters (20 feet). Armament: Cannons: The J8M was armed with two Type 5 30 mm cannons mounted in the nose. These cannons were effective against enemy bombers, the interceptor's main target. Operational Role and Deployment: Interceptor: The Shusui's main role was as a high-speed interceptor, designed to take off quickly, reach high altitude, engage enemy bombers, and then glide to a safe landing zone once its fuel was exhausted. Limited Operations: Due to difficulties in development and production, only a few prototypes were built and tested. The first unpowered test flight occurred in December 1944, while the first powered flight was made in July 1945, but ended in a crash. Performance and Reliability: Speed and Power: Thanks to the rocket engine, the J8M had exceptional speed and could climb quickly to great heights, making it a formidable interceptor on paper. Technical Problems: However, the technology was advanced and complex, and there were numerous technical problems, including the difficulty of handling hazardous fuel and reliability problems with the rocket engine. Conclusion The Mitsubishi J8M Shusui, or Shusui-shiki Kayaku Rocket, represents one of Japan's most ambitious attempts to develop advanced air defense technology during World War II. Based on the German design of the Me 163 Komet, the J8M was a rocket-powered interceptor intended to fight Allied bombers. Despite its promising theoretical performance, technical problems and production delays limited its operation. Only a few prototypes were completed, and the aircraft never reached operational service before the end of the war.

Thus, "60cm Flak Scheinwerfer" refers to a large anti-aircraft projector with a diameter of 60 centimeters used to detect and illuminate aerial targets.Sd.Ah.51: "Sd.Ah." is short for "Sonderanhänger," which means "special trailer" in German. "51" is the number of the specific article or designation of the trailer. Thus, "Sd.Ah.51" represents the special trailer used to transport and support the antiaircraft projector.These antiaircraft projectors were mainly used to detect enemy aircraft during night bombardment and to illuminate them for German anti-aircraft artillery or fighter planes. They were very powerful and could reach great altitudes with their beam, thus enabling better visualization of targets. The use of such searchlights was an important part of German air defense operations during World War II.
