New Release: Von Braun EMW A6.
The EMW A6 was designed by Dr. Werner von Braun as a derivative of his original A4, better known in the West as the V-2.
The A6 was to be a hypersonic research airplane.  Although it was designed to launch vertically like a rocket, it would have landed horizontally like a conventional airplane.Primarily rocket-powered, the A-6 was also equipped with a ramjet engine intended to be ignited at high speeds. This would have provided the craft with 15 to 20 minutes of additional propulsion.
To convert the A4 to the A6, the fuselage was extended, a landing gear/payload compartment was added, the ramjet and tank were attached and, of course, wings were included. 

Now available as a limitted edition resin at Sharkit.
