Description Build the legendary V-1 rocket - Fieseler Fi 103 model in 1:35 scale from COBI! With the V-1 flying bomb set (Fieseler Fi 103) on a scale of 1:35, you can build one of the most groundbreaking inventions of the Second World War - the V-1 rocket, also known as the "flying bomb". The V1 was developed by the German engineer Fritz Gosslau and was the first weapon to combine the characteristics of an airplane and a rocket. It formed the basis for later ballistic missiles. Powered by a jet engine, the V-1 reached speeds of up to 640 km/h and had a range of 250 km. This made it possible to attack targets in Great Britain. The first attacks on London took place in the summer of 1944. The missile used a simple navigation system based on an odometer, which enabled it to reach its target precisely. The V-1 was mainly manufactured in Germany, in special factories in Peenemünde and later at other secret sites in occupied Europe. In addition to London and the English coast, V-1 rockets were also used for bombing raids on cities such as Antwerp and Lille. The V-1 was part of the German "V" retaliatory weapons programme and the prototype for later missiles such as the V-2. Although less effective than the V-2, the V-1 missile had enormous demoralizing potential. After the war, this technology had a major impact on the development of ballistic missiles in the USA and the USSR. This set offers a great opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the Second World War and immerse yourself in the history of German war technologies.
