The combat component of the complex was the Ju 88 bomber, which was fitted with a large warhead with an explosive material weighing between 1,800 and 2,000 kg instead of a cockpit. The aircraft thus becomes a kind of giant bomb. The nose of the fuselage was equipped with a long tip with a detonator to create a cumulative effect during the explosion. Above the bomber was located a carrier aircraft, usually a single-seat fighter, whose pilot had to control the entire system from the moment of takeoff until the target was identified. Then the carrier had to be separated from the Ju 88 and return to its airfield, and the bomber was to hit the target in peak mode. In the summer of 1944, the Mistel 1 was used by specialised Luftwaffe units against Allied ships off the coast of France, and in the spring of 1945, such aircraft systems struck bridges and crossings to stop the advancing Red Army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel of an exotic aviation combat system used in the Second World War period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh level of detail of fuselage elements and warhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePossibility to assemble a warhead with two different detonator positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe set includes a decal for three marking options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBf 109F-4 (Mistel 1), 2.\/KG 101, St Dizier, June 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJu 88A-4 (combat component of the complex Mistel 1), 2.\/KG 101, St Dizier, June 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBf 109F-4 (Mistel 1), 2.\/KG 101, France, summer 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJu 88A-4 (combat component of the complex Mistel 1), 2.\/KG 101, France, summer 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBf 109F-4 (Mistel 1), probably from Einsatzgruppe 101, Burg, autumn 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJu 88A-4 (combat component of the complex Mistel 1), probably from Einsatzgruppe 101, Burg, autumn 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1:48\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts: \u003cstrong\u003e251\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size: \u003cstrong\u003e410 x 260 x 55 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e German\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM48100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.
