The Bronco Models 1/35 German V-1 Fieseler Fi 103 RE-3 Flying Bomb (Trainer) (CB35060) is a highly detailed plastic model kit from Bronco Models, a Hong Kong–based manufacturer renowned for exceptional historical accuracy and fine surface detail.
The Fieseler Fi 103 RE-3 was a two-seat manned training version of the V-1 flying bomb, developed to train pilots who would fly the Reichenberg suicide weapon programme. Unlike the standard V-1, the RE-3 featured a cockpit with landing skids, allowing test pilots to understand the aircraft's handling characteristics. Although the manned V-1 programme never saw combat use, the RE-3 represents a fascinating and little-known aspect of Germany's desperation weapons development in the final years of the war.
