Keldysh Sub-orbital bomber Scale 1:72 AMP 72019 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

Keldysh sub-orbital bomber experimental aircraft plastic model kit in 1:72 scale represents a Soviet conceptual aerospace project developed during the early Cold War.

The Keldysh sub-orbital bomber was a theoretical design studied under the direction of Mstislav Keldysh, focusing on long-range, high-speed strike concepts using rocket-assisted boost and atmospheric skip-glide flight. The project explored ideas similar to antipodal bombers, aimed at intercontinental reach beyond conventional aircraft capabilities.

Keldysh Project – Soviet Sub-Orbital Bomber Concept

Developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Keldysh studies formed part of broader Soviet research into hypersonic flight, ballistic trajectories, and reusable aerospace vehicles. Although never built, these concepts influenced later Soviet work in spaceflight and missile technology and firmly belong to the Early Cold War experimental research period.

This plastic model kit by AMP depicts the Keldysh sub-orbital bomber as a conceptual experimental aircraft. The model belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is produced in 1:72 scale, suitable for collections focused on experimental and conceptual aerospace projects.
