The Heinkel He 177 Greif was a German heavy bomber, the only aircraft of its kind in Luftwaffe service, used during World War II for long-range missions over the USSR, France, and Great Britain. With the Eduard BIG4881 set, modelers can recreate this legendary aircraft with attention to every minute detail on both the exterior and within the crew cabin.

We especially recommend this set to intermediate and advanced modelers – working with photo-etched parts and masks requires experience and precision (difficulty level 4/5). The finished effect makes the model a valuable exhibit in any collection, significantly enhancing the visual and historical value of your replica.
