The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow) was a World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. The Pfeil's performance was much better than any similar design due to its unique "push-pull" layout and the Luftwaffe was desperate to get the design into squadron use, but delays in engine deliveries meant only a handful were delivered before the war ended. Delivery commenced in January 1945.

When the U.S. Army overran the Oberpfaffenhofen factory in late April 1945, only eleven Do 335A-1 single seat fighter-bombers and two Do 335A-12 conversion trainers had been completed.

Mahogany Wood. Wingspan 16 1/2 inches, Length 16 1/2 inches.

A dream plane

This plane always caught my eye. It did not fly any missions. It was a last ditch effort by the Luftwaffe. Sometimes I dream about what would it be like to land one in an international airport. Being only one left in the whole world that is the only way you can fly one. Anyway the construction of this model is top notch. The paint job is beautiful (flat finish). I still take it off the shelf and look at it from different angles and I bought this model 5 or 6 years ago. I've absolutely no regrets purchasing this model. There is an amazing selection of models to chose from. The Folk-Wolf D-9 Dora is an eye catcher too.
