The Dragon 5011 Arado Ar 234C-3w/V-1 Huckepack 1/72 model is a precisely reproduced plastic model of the German jet bomber Arado Ar 234C-3 in 1/72 scale. This model kit allows you to build a replica of one of the most innovative aircraft of World War II, used by the Luftwaffe. The Arado Ar 234C-3 was the world’s first jet bomber to be used in combat, and the Huckepack option depicts an experimental project in which this aircraft carried the V-1 flying bomb—an idea tested by the Germans in the final phase of the war.

The Arado Ar 234 aircraft was used by Germany between 1944 and 1945 for reconnaissance missions, bombing, and attempts to break through Allied lines using rocket armament. The C-3 version had four BMW 003 jet engines and was an evolution of earlier variants. The Dragon model enables a faithful reproduction of the airplane’s design, propulsion system, well-equipped cockpit, and distinctive fuselage lines. The kit also includes all the parts needed to assemble the V-1 bomb armament—the world’s first guided ballistic weapon of mass destruction.

Thanks to well-fitting parts and top-quality details, this model is an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced aircraft modeling enthusiasts. The 1/72 scale offers a high level of detail without the need to work with a large-sized model. Dragon is renowned for its high-quality molds and meticulous historical detail reproduction.
