Arado Ar 234 Blitz B-2/C-2/C-3 — Revell 1/72 Plastic model Kit Vintage

Revell's H-series included a number of kits inherited from or based on the British FROG range, and H-162 is the classic 1/72 Arado Ar 234 Blitz. Released by Revell in the late 1970s, the kit contains moulded plastic fuselage, wings, twin jet nacelles, cockpit and clear canopy, landing equipment, stores/V-1 components, decals and instructions, allowing several Ar 234 configurations to be represented. The full-size Ar 234 was Germany's pioneering jet-powered reconnaissance and bomber aircraft and became the world's first operational jet bomber. The B-2 bomber version entered service in late 1944/early 1945, carrying bombs externally, while the C-series used four engines. Production remained limited because of the deteriorating German war situation, making the Ar 234 an important and relatively rare subject in aviation history. The H-162 vintage boxing is increasingly collectible.
