Mikro Mir MM72-022 De Havilland DH 108 Swallow Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

De Havilland DH 108 Swallow in 1/72 scale is a plastic model kit by Mikro Mir representing a British experimental jet aircraft developed during the early Cold War period. The DH 108 was designed to investigate swept-wing aerodynamics and high-speed flight characteristics.

The aircraft was developed by de Havilland in the late 1940s using elements of the de Havilland Vampire structure combined with a swept flying-wing style configuration. The DH 108 program played a role in research into transonic flight and aerodynamic behavior at high speeds.

De Havilland DH 108 Swallow - British Experimental Jet Aircraft

Three DH 108 aircraft were built as research prototypes. These aircraft were used in flight testing programs that explored aerodynamic stability, control, and performance near the speed of sound. The project contributed valuable data for later British high-speed aircraft development.

For modelers: Experimental aircraft with swept wings benefit from careful alignment of the wing roots and tail surfaces during assembly to preserve the distinctive geometry of the airframe.
