Mikro Mir MM48-010 Soviet Rocket-Powered Interceptor Bi-1 Scale 1:48 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

BI-1 rocket-powered interceptor in 1/48 scale is represented in this plastic model kit by Mikro Mir. The model depicts an experimental Soviet interceptor aircraft developed during World War II as part of early research into rocket propulsion for high-speed interception.

The BI-1 was designed by the Bereznyak-Isayev design team and became one of the earliest Soviet aircraft projects using a liquid-fueled rocket engine. Development began in the early 1940s when rapid-climb interceptor concepts were being explored to counter high-altitude threats.

BI-1 - Soviet Rocket Interceptor Experimental Aircraft

The BI-1 prototype first flew in 1942 and demonstrated the potential of rocket propulsion for very high climb rates and short interception missions. Although the project remained experimental and did not enter operational service, the aircraft represented an important stage in early rocket-powered aviation research.

For modelers: The compact airframe and short wingspan of the BI-1 make precise alignment of the wings and tail surfaces especially important. Careful attention to the smooth fuselage contours helps preserve the distinctive appearance of this early rocket-powered aircraft.
