16KhA (16ChA) PRIBOY 1/48

Work on pulse-jet engines in USSR began in 1942 under the guidance of Vladimir Nikolayevich Chelomey. It took him two years to build and test the first Soviet pulse-jet.
First variant of soviet winged missile was the 10Kh. Approximately 300 pieces were build. Design of 10Kh was simmilar to german V-1.
In 1945 the Chelomey OKB had completed the advanced development project of the 16Kh winged missile. Final version of the 16Kh had two D-3 englnes placed in tail section. The Tu-2 bomber was chosen as the delivery vehicle, but later was used Tu-4 too.
In year 1947 the soviet goverment ordered three versions of winged missiles, the air-launched, the naval and the surface version. Later the order has been reduced to the missile 16KhA and the target drone 10KhM.

Something I never knew existed but I feel the need to own this now...

Funny, I was wondering whether there would be a market niche for this as to me it looks too much like a V-1 what-if to be of any interest... As usual, the universe proved me wrong :-)
