About the Design

During WWII, Germany's Heinkel aircraft company developed five fighter planes under the P.1079 designation.  The only thing these designs had in common was that they incorporated twin jet engines. The first in the 1079 series was this design, the P.1079A, which featured its power plants on either side of the fuselage, plus a V-shaped tail.

No He-P.1079As were ever produced.

About the Kit

This was one of the many "Luft '46" concept models produced by Planet of the Czech Republic during the late 1990s and early 21st century. The model was crisply cast and featured the standard vacuform cockpit canopy.

This model was built from an original issue.
