1/144 TsAGI A-12 autogyro



1/144 TsAGI A-12 autogyro
Another busy issuer of aircraft is the  Kampfflieger, who when not producing a fleet of WWI aircraft takes some time out to issue some of the more interesting and unusual designs. This time an autogiro, a mode of transport that once was the poster boy of the the 1930s modernist dream and science fiction icon for a modern transport system of the future. It featured in films of the era such as 'Metropolis' and 'Things to Come' and countless printed images.

Initially having a passing resemblance to the Ceirva C.30 this Russian design is an unrelated design that would look great next to your Anigrand Autogiros, or on your pulp gaming table!

1/144 Lockheed D-21 - Foxone

1/144 Lockheed D-21 - Foxone
A high speed photo reconnaissance drone developed in the early 1960s, originally intended to be launched from the M-21 which was a converted A-12 (a SR-71 kit will have to make do!), it was later configered to work from the B-52 (which carried one under each wing on pylons). The programme was cancelled after a small number of flights over China!

This resing kit allows you to build one of two options!
