The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil ("Arrow") was a World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. The Pfeil's performance was much better than other twin-engine designs due to its unique "push-pull" layout and the much lower drag of the in-line alignment of the two engines, this made it one of the fastest piston driven aircraft of WW2. The Pfeil was an extremely large fighter aircraft for its time with a wingspan and fuselage length measuring over 40ft. Only a handful were produced before the end of the war with none seeing actual combat, Allied aircraft were too slow to catch the Dornier and the Luftwaffe were forbidden to engage the Allies should one fall into enemy hands! Our 1/30 scale model comes with 2 all metal figures, a Luftwaffe pilot checking his map and an elite Fallschirmjager smoking a pipe! This limited edition of 15 models is priced at $650/£450 and is available from January 2014.
