Type: Aircraft

Category Kit

Yokosuka MXY7-K1 Ohka aircraft kit in 1/32 scale - Mikro-Mir model. The Yokosuka MXY7-K1 Ohka was a Japanese suicide attack aircraft designed and used during World War II. The name "Ohka" (meaning "Cherry Blossom" in Japanese) was given to this aircraft to emphasize its lethal nature and its connection to extreme sacrifice, similar to the famous Kamikaze suicide attacks. Key features: Design: The Ohka was basically a human-piloted rocket missile designed to strike enemy ships. It was launched from a low-altitude bomber, such as the Mitsubishi G4M or the Yokosuka P1Y. Once launched, the pilot would control the flight until it crashed into the target, usually an enemy ship, causing enormous damage through its explosive charge. Structure: The Ohka was a rocket plane with a very compact fuselage and a highly aerodynamic nose to optimize speed. It had a low-wing configuration and retractable undercarriage to be launched by bombers. Engine: The aircraft was powered by a rocket engine, which enabled it to reach very high speeds in a short time. The engine's power was such that the Ohka could reach speeds of 800 km/h in flight phase. Suicide attacks: The main purpose of the Ohka was to carry out suicide attacks against enemy fleets. The pilot, who often knew he would not survive the mission, would direct the Ohka at an enemy ship, hoping to inflict devastating damage. Use during World War II: The Ohka was first used in 1944 and was mainly employed during the last years of the war, particularly in battles in the Pacific, such as the Battle of Okinawa. Despite its power and innovative design, the aircraft failed to turn the tide of the conflict, and use of the Ohka was limited due to its vulnerabilities and high risk to pilots. Conclusions: The Yokosuka MXY7-K1 Ohka represents one of the most extreme examples of a suicide weapon used during World War II. Although it was a bold and technologically advanced design for the time, it was unable to have a decisive impact on the conflict and became a symbol of the Japanese Empire's desperation toward the end of the war.

Scale: 1/72

Nation: Italy

Period: WWI

Type: Aircraft

Category Kit

Caproni Pensuti Triplane aircraft kit in 1/32 scale - MikroMir model. The Caproni Pensuti Tri plane was an airplane designed and built by the Italian engineer Giuseppe Pensuti during the period of World War I. This plane is known to be one of the earliest examples of the triplane (plane with three overlapping wings), a configuration that would later become more common. Main features of the Caproni Pensuti Triplane: Design and Structure: The Caproni Pensuti Triplane was an experimental aircraft designed for flight and reconnaissance (reconnaissance) tasks or possible ground attack. The triplane configuration, with three wings, was intended to improve lift and maneuverability, although these advantages were not fully confirmed. The airplane's structure was largely of wood and fabric, with the wings mounted in an overlapping fashion and with a design that was distinguished by its "compacted" appearance from contemporary biplanes. Engine and Performance: The Caproni Pensuti Triplane was powered by a radial engine. However, despite its innovative design, the triplane trim did not always prove advantageous compared to other more traditional aircraft such as biplanes. The aircraft's performance was quite modest, but the intent was to explore the triplane concept as a possible alternative to the biplanes in use at the time. Usage: The plane was designed in Italy, but did not achieve widespread operational use. The Caproni Pensuti Triplane was not mass produced and remained an experimental prototype. Despite its attempts, the Caproni Pensuti Triplane did not distinguish itself as a successful combat aircraft, and the triplane concept was later surpassed by other aircraft configurations during the conflict. Impact and Legacy: Although the Caproni Pensuti Triplane was not a significant success in terms of operational performance, it had historical significance as an experiment in aircraft design, especially in relation to triplanes. This aircraft was part of a series of aeronautical experiments carried out during World War I, a period when designers were looking for different solutions to improve the maneuverability and power of combat aircraft. Conclusions: The Caproni Pensuti Triplane is an example of World War I experimental aeronautical innovation that sought to exploit the three-wing configuration to improve performance. However, despite initial interest, the design was unsuccessful and did not lead to large-scale production, soon being surpassed by other more effective configurations such as biplanes.

1/72 Martin XB-51The Martin XB-51 was an experimental tactical bombing aircraft developed by the U.S.-based Glenn L. Martin Company in the 1940s and 1950s. Its purpose was to meet a United States Air Force (USAF) specification for a light, high-speed bomber capable of replacing existing ground attack aircraft.The XB-51 had an unusual and distinctive design, featuring a variable-geometry wing that could be manually adjusted to achieve different flight configurations as needed. It was propelled by three engines, two of which were mounted in the wing nacelles and the third in the tail of the plane.The prototype XB-51 made its first flight in 1949. During initial testing, it demonstrated remarkable speed and maneuverability, but also showed some challenges in controlling the plane during takeoff and landing. Subsequently, design changes were made to address these problems.However, the XB-51 program was finally cancelled in 1952 before the plane could enter mass production. Some of the reasons for the cancellation involved changes in USAF requirements and progress toward the use of supersonic fighter aircraft. In addition, the XB-51 program failed to fully meet the specific requirements of the Air Force.Although the XB-51 was never put into production and used operationally, its development contributed to the understanding of high-speed aircraft design techniques and the evolution of aviation technologies. The original XB-51 prototype was later preserved and restored, and is currently on display in the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, where it testifies to the innovation and advanced engineering of the time.

1/72 CB Class Midget submarineThe CB Class Midget Submarine was a type of pocket submarine (or nano submarine) used by the U.S. Navy during World War II. These submarines were also known as the "Coastal Battleground" (CB) or "Coastal Boat" (CB) Class.These submarines were designed to operate in shallow coastal and inshore waters, providing patrol and sabotage capabilities. Their main purpose was to approach enemy targets, such as enemy ships or port installations, stealthily and silently to attack them with explosive charges.CB Class Midget Submarines were small and compact, with a length of about 21 meters and a crew of only 5-6 sailors. They were powered by electric batteries, which made them quiet but limited their submarine operational range.These submarines were often carried and launched from larger submarines or surface ships. Once close to the target, CB Class Midget Submarines used their armament to attack enemy ships or ports. In some cases, submarines were used for reconnaissance and sabotage operations, placing mines or explosive pipelines against ships or port infrastructure.Their use was rather limited and they were not employed in large numbers, but CB Class Midget Submarines proved their effectiveness in some operations during World War II. After the war, they were gradually replaced by other types of more advanced pocket submarines.
