About the Dornier Do 335A Pfeil
The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow) was one of the most innovative and fastest piston-engine fighters ever built, featuring a unique push-pull engine configuration with one engine in the nose and another in the rear fuselage driving a pusher propeller. This revolutionary design eliminated asymmetric thrust and allowed the Do 335 to achieve speeds exceeding 470 mph, making it one of the fastest propeller-driven aircraft of World War II. The A-variant was designed as a heavy fighter with exceptional performance and heavy armament. Only a handful were completed before the war's end, but the Do 335's radical design and impressive performance make it a favorite subject for Luftwaffe enthusiasts and late-war German aircraft modelers.
What's Included
Eduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
