Heinkel He 177 A-3 Greif "Baby Blitz Bomber"

The Heinkel He 177 "Greif" was the only German four-engine bomber to see service in significant numbers during World War II. Although its operational record was not entirely successful, the Heinkel He 177 remains a legendary aircraft. Its technical design was unique: two engines were mounted side-by-side in each wing, driving a single gearbox that powered a four-bladed propeller. This gave the bomber the appearance of having only two engines.

Plastic model kit

• The only 1:48 scale kit of the He 177
• Includes photo-etched parts, 3D-printed parts, and resin parts
• Decals allow for the depiction of two Luftwaffe aircraft; the first participated in "Operation Steinbock," the Luftwaffe's bombing offensive against Great Britain. Launched in the spring of 1944, the operation resulted in more losses than successes, leading the British to mockingly dub it the "Baby Blitz." The second marking option features an aircraft with yellow markings, with two different versions possible.
