About product

Focke Achgelis Fa 330 in 1:32 scale (FLY)

A multimedia kit of the Focke Achgelis Fa 330 Bachstelze (wagtail) rotor kite from the manufacturer FLY. The set combines injection-molded plastic with resin parts and photo-etched metal, rounded out by a decal sheet; it is a short-run kit suited rather to more experienced builders. The small subject in the larger 1:32 scale shows off the fine detail of the tube frame and the rotor.

The real subject

The Fa 330 was a single-seat unpowered rotor kite that was towed behind a submarine in the Second World War. Lift came from a freely autorotating three-blade rotor, and from the raised seat the observer gained a far wider view of the sea than from the deck of the boat. The structure was deliberately simple, demountable and without an engine.

Building and painting tips

Prepare the resin and photo-etched parts in advance: wash off the mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. The open tube frame calls for careful dry-fitting and for the joints to be reinforced. An airbrush with a fine primer will handle the painting; tie the rotor blades and the frame together with matte shades and bring them out with a fine wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of unusual naval and aviation subjects
  • Modelers with experience of multimedia kits
  • Anyone interested in rotor kites and unpowered aircraft
  • Builders who will appreciate fine detail in 1:32 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A single-seat unpowered rotor kite that was towed behind a submarine in the Second World War and gave an observer a view over the sea.

It is a multimedia kit with injection-molded plastic, resin parts, photo-etched parts and a decal sheet.

The open tube frame and the resin parts make greater demands, so it is better suited to more experienced modelers.
