MiniArt 41001 Fl 282 V-6 KOLIBRI is a high-quality plastic model kit in the popular 1:35 scale.

The MiniArt 41001 model faithfully reproduces the details of the real Fl 282 Kolibri autogyro designed for reconnaissance, liaison, and observation missions. Both the prototype and the serial versions of the Kolibri were used by the German Luftwaffe mainly in the later stages of the war, serving, among others, in the Balkans and for artillery and naval observation. The characteristic lightweight frame construction, open cockpit, and distinct rotor assembly details are all accurately replicated in the kit. Interestingly, the Kolibri (German for “Hummingbird”) was one of the first helicopters in the world to be used in operational service.

The kit includes sprues with sharply molded surface details, clear cockpit parts, a pilot’s seat, a detailed engine, and a set of decals that allow for authentic World War II markings. Glue and paints are not included – they must be purchased separately according to your own color preferences.

We recommend this kit to both aviation history enthusiasts and advanced military modelers who appreciate innovative designs and detailed replication. Due to the number of parts and intricate details, we suggest it for modelers with intermediate to advanced experience.

• Assembly difficulty level: 3/5
• Who is it for? For historical modeling enthusiasts, aviation fans, and collectors of World War II models

By choosing the MiniArt 41001 Fl 282 V-6 KOLIBRI, you’re adding a unique piece to your collection that reflects the spirit of technical innovation in German aviation during the greatest conflict of the 20th century.
