Arado E.377A + Rheinmetall-Borsig starting trolley – Heavy glide bomb – Limited edition resin kit
At the end of World War II, German aircraft designers realized that in the absence of resources only technological superiority in balance with the simplicity of the materials used could bring a tangible effect. As a result, projects began combining simple materials (wood, steel pipes, etc.) with super modern jet engines and sophisticated control and guidance systems
One of the areas in which work was carried out was the creation of heavy motorized-planning bombs of the Mistel series. Arado E.377 is one of the last such projects.
In combination with the starting trolley developed by the company Rheinmetall-Borsigand control aircraft of various models, Arado E.377 was to become a deadly weapon for hitting strategic objects and ships of the enemy. Using the speed of reactive systems and surprise, such a weapon could become invulnerable to the air defense of the allies
Projects were developed both in the glide version and equipped with jet engines BMW 003, and later a manned version with a tactic of application similar to Japanese kamakaze.
