AMP 1/72 Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 Plastic Model Kit [72003]

About the Aircraft

A completely new-mold kit! The Focke-Achgelis Fa-223 was a transport helicopter that flew for the first time in 1940. It was able to reach an altitude of 7,100 meters and maintain a speed of 175 km/hour. When carrying a payload of more than 1,000kg, it could reach an altitude of 2,440 meters at a cruising speed of 121km/hour.

After the war, the British who captured this aircraft flew it to the British mainland for performance evaluation, and this became the first cross-strait flight by a rotary wing aircraft.

Although 10 of this aircraft were built, it did not enter mass production due to the airstrikes by Allied forces during the war. Includes paint mask seals, photo-etched parts and decals for 3 versions.
