ABOUT THE DESIGN

ABOUT THE KIT

2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger" featured numerous "Luft '46"-style aircraft based on actual designs developed by both Germany and the United States during the early 1940s. This included the Parasit fighter, which incorporated features of the Sombold So.344, the Focke-Wulf Triebflugel and several "pusher" fighters developed during the era.

The "Parasit" was carried in groups of eight aboard Hydra's gigantic Flying Wing.  Designed by Daniel Simon for Marvel Comic's 2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger,"it carried an atomic bomb in its nose. The pilot would jettison the nose near its target and -- and this is the tricky part -- somehow fly the nose-less plane back to the Flying Wing. How that would be aerodynamically possible was never explained.

The Hydra Parasit Fighter was released by Fantastic Plastic Models in October 2012. The kit was patterned in CAD by Scott Lowther and cast by Ed Holt of Monkeyworks. Decals were by JBOT.
