NM-1 Scale 1:72 Amodel AMO72229 Plastic Airplane Model Kit

Northrop N-1M (NM-1) aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents the first successful flying wing test aircraft developed in the United States during World War II.

The N-1M, sometimes referred to as NM-1, was an experimental research aircraft designed by Jack Northrop to evaluate the flying wing concept. Built primarily of wood, the aircraft was used to study stability, control, and aerodynamic behavior of tailless aircraft configurations.

Test flights of the N-1M were conducted in the early World War II period and directly influenced the development of later Northrop flying wing designs, including the YB-35 and YB-49 strategic bomber projects. Although never intended for operational service, the N-1M played a crucial role in advancing flying wing technology.

This plastic model kit is produced by AMODEL and accurately depicts the experimental Northrop N-1M (NM-1) configuration. The model belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is manufactured in 1:72 scale, making it suitable for experimental aviation and World War II research aircraft collections.
