Anigrand Craftswork - 1/144 Bmw Strahlbomber P.II. Long-range flying wing bomber project. Includes bonus kits of the Blohm-und-Voss BV.P.170, Blohm-und-Voss BV.P.163, Horten Ho.XIIIB and Fieseler Fi.103R. In 1944, Reichsmarschall Goring instructed the Messerschmitt and Junkers to design and produce very long-range bombers which would be capable of carrying a 4,000 kg bomb load, at high speeds and over extreme distances, to mount strategic air strikes against the U.S. and USSR. After test-fly the Horten VII flying wing design, the Rlm declared the flying-wing to be the ideal configuration for a long-range bomber. Parallel to the Mersserschmitt and Junkers works, the German aviation designers also began to develop flying-wing bomber projects. By the time Bmw entered the field of aviation design with their innovatory bomber projects. One was the jet-powered bomber in the layout of flying-wing. The Strahlbomber Project II was powered by two BMW-109-018 jet engines. This arrangement would provide sufficient inherent stability should one engine fail. In March 1945, all further development work on long-range bomber projects were creased by order of the RLM. Only the Horton Ho-XVIII continued upon the instructions of Goring.
