The BRP72011 is a 1\/72 injection-moulded plastic kit supplemented by photo-etched parts and a clear component, with decals for two prototype aircraft. The kit represents the compact Blohm \u0026amp; Voss BV-40 interceptor glider, including the fuselage, wings, protected cockpit, landing\/skid equipment and associated small components. The real BV-40 was a German Second World War unpowered interceptor designed to attack Allied bomber formations. It was intended to be towed to altitude, released near a bomber formation and use its very small frontal area and high-speed dive to make attacks before gliding back to earth. Several prototypes were built and tested in 1944, but the project never entered operational service. Particularly attractive as a specialist Luftwaffe prototype subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brengun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57559800021372,"sku":"Brengun-BRP72011","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/8584\/0033\/files\/8164AFE9-833C-4FB8-B1C1-5F873B883747.jpg?v=1791140150","url":"https:\/\/sussex-model-centre.co.uk\/products\/brengun-blohm-voss-bv-40-german-glider-fighter-1-72-plastic-model-kit-vintage","provider":"Sussex Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
