Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Very rare and the only kit of the P.1106 with the 'T' Tail. Molded in high definition cast resin with a clear vacuform canopy (still clear and in fine condition with no yellowing). Features cockpit, full landing gear & detailed painting guide. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions with full size plans. The first P1106 design dated back to December 2, 1944 and was a proposed development of the 1101 design with supersonic capability. The air intake was reduced in length to minimize thrust loss while the cockpit was slid way back to the rear of the fuselage. This lead to good aerodynamic form and increased internal fuel storage. The 'T' shaped tail unit had it's horizontal part placed above the wake zone produced by the separated flow shock of the wing and fuselage. This 'T' Tail was was patented in 1944 and had been tested at the Gotingen Aerodynamic Testing Laboratory on a full scale model of the P1101 and was also set on the DFS 346. This tail design has proven to be very successful and can be found on many aircraft from airliners, sport planes, business jets and even fighters like the F-104.
