Why this kit matters
The Heinkel He 111Z-1 Zwilling, meaning "Twin", was created by joining two He 111H-6 aircraft with a new centre wing section carrying a fifth engine. The unusual design was developed to provide the power needed to tow heavy military gliders.
The He 111Z-1 was designed to tow the large Me 321 cargo glider or two Go 242 gliders. Twelve aircraft were built by spring 1942, and the type saw service mainly on the Eastern Front as a glider tug and transport aircraft. Its five-engine layout makes it one of the most unusual German aircraft of the Second World War.
