RS Models are to release a 1/72 plastic injection kit of the Flettner Fl 282 .The innovative Flettner Fl 282 was one of the first operational helicopter that was used on board ships.
Being the successor of the Flettner Fl 265 which first flew in May 1939, the Flettner 282 was only built in small numbers. The prototypes were built in different variants, one or two seater, closed or open cockpit. In 1941/1942 the Kriegsmarine used a Fl 282 for tests on board the CL Köln. With a landing platform mounted on a turret, several operational test flights were successfully completed. 32 preproduction aircraft were delivered, and three were taken home as war booty by Russia and the United States.
