Dubbed the Amerika Bomber, this plane was to rocket into space and coast down, circling the globe in a series of ever-shallower skips off the atmosphere. At about the half way point, the mission would be completed by a long glide back to base. During the course of this flight the flat bottomed craft was to attain a speed of Mach 10 and an altitude of some 180 miles. The project was canceled in 1941, but S nger s interest in space technology continued. Two complete fuselages are included in the kit, allowing the modeler to build two complete models or to recover from one non-recoverable error.
Sufficient plastic is included to complete two models and to fabricate rocket nozzles.
Brass tubing is included to make model supports and paint stands. Camouflage patterns and national markings are a matter of conjecture, because the craft was never put into production. Advance orders have already been received from Germany and Hong Kong. Shipping outside the U.S. and dealer discounts are available.
