Dragon 5510 FW-190A-Mistel2 (1/48) – plastic model kit for assembly

Dragon 5510 FW-190A-Mistel2 in 1/48 scale is a detailed plastic model kit that allows you to recreate one of the most unusual aircraft sets of World War II. This model is a faithful replica of the Mistel 2 set, a combination of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A fighter and a specially modified Junkers Ju 88 bomber with a powerful warhead. This unique solution was used by the Luftwaffe during the toughest years of the war – mainly from 1943 to 1945.

Historical Description

The Mistel 2 kit was developed in Germany as a result of efforts to create a weapon capable of destroying heavily fortified Allied positions. The Fw 190A fighter was mounted atop a radio-controlled Ju 88 bomber, which served as a flying bomb. The FW 190 pilot guided the entire assembly over the target, then released the bomber with its warhead, returning to base solo. Mistel 2 was used to attack bridges, ships, and important strategic infrastructure points during the final years of World War II.
