Hallo,
Zo, dit is mijn 2e projectje na de
A-90 Orjonlok “Ekranoplan” voor de gedrochtenbouw
De Mistel 1:
Dit is een project van onze duistse buren geweest in de 2e wereldoorlog. Het is geen Luftwaffe 46’porject geweest. Dit heeft echt operationeel gevlogen..

Design and development
The first such experiments in Nazi Germany concerning composite aircraft of any type were performed with the DFS 230 troop glider as the "lower" component, and using established, engine-powered Luftwaffe aircraft such as the Focke-Wulf Fw 56 or the Messerschmitt Bf 109E as the upper component, in an attempt to provide the troop glider with a longer range, than if it was simply towed in the conventional manner.
Later, the technique became more refined, and the bomber component (which was often a new aircraft rather than surplus) was fitted with a specialised 1,800 kg (3,960 lb) warhead. The final stage of Mistel development was the development of specialised purpose-built jet-powered bomber components, including ones developed from the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Junkers Ju 287 and the entirely new Arado Ar 234. None of these ambitious schemes left the drawing board before the end of the war.
Warhead
The definitive Mistel warhead was a very large shaped charge, of nearly two short tons in weight, fitted with a copper or aluminium liner, not unlike the warhead of the much smaller, anti-tank Panzerfaust weapon. The warhead was expected to have a penetration of up to 7 meters of reinforced concrete.
Some 250 Mistels of various combinations were built during the war, but met with limited success. They were first flown in combat against the Allied invasion fleet during Battle of Normandy, targeting the British-held harbour at Courseulles-sur-Mer.
While Mistel pilots claimed hits, none of these can be correlated in Allied records, and they may have been made against the hulk of the old French battleship Courbet, which had been included as a component of the Mulberry harbour at Arromanches and specially dressed up as a decoy by the Allies. Serious blast and shrapnel damage from a near miss was also suffered by HMS Nith, a floating headquarters, on 24 June. There were 9 killed and 26 wounded and the Nith was towed back to England for repairs.
A second opportunity to use the Mistels, in Scapa Flow in 1944 was abandoned after the loss of the Tirpitz led to the departure of all the Royal Navy's major surface units from the target.
As part of Operation Iron Hammer in late 1943 and early 1944, Mistels were selected to carry out key raids against Soviet weapons manufacturing facilities -- specifically, electricity-generating power stations around Moscow and Gorky. These plants were known to be poorly defended by the Soviets and irreplaceable. However, before the plan could be implemented, the Red Army was already pushing into Germany itself and it was decided to use the Mistels against their bridgehead at Küstrin instead. On 12 April 1945, Mistels attacked the bridges being built there, but the damage caused was negligible and delayed the Soviet forces for only a day or two. Subsequent Mistel attacks on other bridges being thrown across the Oder were similarly ineffective.
Als dit leest, zie dat het flink is gebruikt.
Ik heb deze al jaren zien liggen bij me plaatselijk winkeltje waar ik afentoe een kitje ligt. EN ik heb altijd gehad.. die wil ik hebben. Dus maar gekocht. Het ziet er maf uit maar wel mooi vind ik. Ze hebben daar ook nog een Mistel 5 liggen. Mischien dat ik die ook nog koop. Eerst maar deze brouwen.
Dit is een combi van een Ju-88-4 en een Me-109F. Dus wordt leuk. Veel kleuren en spuiten, dus kan ik de duiste camo gaan uit proberen. Wordt een leuke uitdaging.
Dit is de Kit van Italeri:
Decals en boekje, (heeft iemand nog een paar Swastika?, deze horen er wel op vind ik…)
JU-88-4
ME-109f
Ik ga zo snel mogelijk beginnen. Eerst de TF-104 afronden, want dan heb ik weer ruimte op de werkbank. Dan kan ik hem brouwen naast de
Saab GripenGroeten Freddie
