Aires 7216 Mistel 1 Conversion Set Version 2 1/72 Hasegawa

The Aires 7216 Mistel 1 Conversion Set Version 2 in 1:72 scale is designed for modelers wishing to recreate one of the most unusual aviation concepts of World War II. This product is intended for the modification of a Hasegawa model, allowing for an accurate representation of the famous Mistel 1—a German guided bomber created by combining a Ju 88 aircraft with either a Bf 109 or Fw 190 fighter as the control unit.

The Mistel 1 was used by the Luftwaffe in the final years of World War II, primarily in 1944 and 1945. The project was undertaken by Germany, which produced several dozen of these kits intended to destroy heavily defended targets such as bridges, ships, or Allied fortifications. The Mistel 1 kit participated in, among other operations, attacks on bridges over the Vistula and Oder rivers and during the fighting in France.

Aires 7216 is a high-quality resin conversion set designed for the precise reproduction of the specific structural elements of the Mistel 1. The package contains detailed resin parts that allow you to build the fuselages, gondolas, and features characteristic of this aircraft version. The set does not include the base Hasegawa plastic model or a modification kit for mounting the fighter model onto the bomber—these are extras to be added independently by the modeler.
