The only significant difference was in two elements. The American flying bomb was powered by a PJ31-F-1 pulse engine, instead of a rocket engine, and had a more sophisticated guidance system. JB-2 aroused great interest in the USAAF and US Navy. The USAAF originally ordered as many as 12,000 missiles to be used against Japan. However, after its capitulation, the order was limited to 1,500 pieces. The manufactured versions were tested as part of the cruise missile program. Some of the JB-2s were carried by the B-17s. Also, the US Navy, after the initial \"fascination\", withdrew from the project and ended testing with this weapon in 1950. The use of JB-2 axes from submarines proved viable, but in the end the Regulus missiles were used for this purpose. Technical data: length: 8.26 m, wingspan: 5.38 m, maximum speed: 700 km \/ h, maximum range: 240 km, head weighing up to 910 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e The JB-2 Loon was an American copy of the German V1 missiles that were to be used against Japan,  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003ebut the use of the atomic bomb ended the war. Nevertheless, the JB-2 were accepted into service by the US Army, USAAF and US Navy and used until the mid-1950s. The kit comes on three styrene sprues joined by a fret of etches and 3D-printed parts. The decals cover markings for four US JB-2 missiles, three of which were in an Olive Green scheme and one white overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e-        attractive colour schemes and decals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e-        etches and 3D-printed parts contained in the kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--ux_global_tab panel entry-content\" id=\"tab-ux_global_tab\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-ux_global_tab\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional items are required to complete kit as illustrated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Special Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56789187395964,"sku":"SH32092","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/8584\/0033\/files\/77345_rn.jpg?v=1779104422","url":"https:\/\/sussex-model-centre.co.uk\/products\/special-hobby-1-32-jb-2-loon-us-version-of-v-1-missle-kit-sh32092","provider":"Sussex Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
