Description
A detailed guide to modelling the Luftwaffe jets and rocket planes that saw service at the end of World War II.
While the Allies largely relied on mass production to help them win World War II, Germany put a great deal of their limited resources into new technologies and wonder weapons. In addition to these tangible assets, which were used with varying degrees of success, the drawing boards of Germany were littered with dozens of advanced designs that never reached the prototype or production stages.
With this Masterclass, you can learn how to model the Luftwaffe's jet arsenal and secret weapons of fact and fiction.
