The Bv P178 project is the most advanced jet asymmetric fighter in the history of human aviation. It was designed by Dr. Vogt. The aircraft has a front three-point landing gear with a wingspan of 12 meters and a fuselage length of 10.8 meters. A Jumo 004B turbojet engine is installed under the right main wing. The external hanging point located under the main body can carry 500-1000 kg bombs or other heavy weapons. Two solid fuel rocket engine nozzles extend from the tail of the fuselage and can be used to provide additional power to the aircraft when it is pulled up during takeoff or dive. An MG151 15mm cannon is mounted on each side of the nose. This model has many derivative models. Due to the weird design and the lack of supplies of the Third Reich at the end of the war, the series of projects did not obtain the production license of the Air Force senior officials, and only stayed on the drawing board. This product is a torpedo bomber, based on the development of the BvP178 dive bomber. In addition to retaining the cannons on both sides of the parent's nose, there is also an LTF5b heavy aviation torpedo mounted on the ETC504 weapon pylon on the central axis of the fuselage. The paint scheme of the kit is the equipment style of the National Air Force of Germany and the Italian Social Republic.
