Heinkel He 111 H-22: The Bomber That Carried a Flying Bomb

The COBI Heinkel HE 111 H-22 Medium Bomber with V1 Flying Bomb #5771 brings late-war aviation history to your collection. This detailed WWII aircraft set recreates one of Germany’s most recognizable twin-engine bombers.

The Heinkel He 111 first gained attention before World War II. However, it became widely known during the early campaigns over Europe. It served during the invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and the Battle of Britain.

By 1944, the He 111 was no longer a front-line terror like it had been earlier. Still, Germany continued adapting it for special missions. The H-22 version was modified to carry and launch the V1 flying bomb, also known as the Fieseler Fi 103.

That makes this set especially interesting. It represents a late-war aircraft pressed into a desperate and unusual role. Instead of simply dropping bombs, this He 111 carried one of history’s earliest cruise missiles.

This COBI set captures that unique mission in brick form. Therefore, it gives collectors a bomber, a flying bomb, and a serious conversation piece.

Why This Set Belongs in Your Hangar

This model has strong display presence. With an 18.1-inch wingspan, it looks ready to dominate the shelf. Meanwhile, the included V1 flying bomb adds even more historical firepower.

The aircraft features a green camouflage scheme, German-style markings, and a glazed bomber nose. Additionally, the set includes a pilot figure and an officer figure. You also get a desk accessory build for extra display storytelling.

The bomber rests on a black display stand with a printed nameplate. As a result, it looks sharp in a military aircraft collection.

Collectors will also enjoy the moving control surfaces. The wing flaps can be positioned for extra realism. Plus, the V1 flying bomb can be displayed separately or mounted beneath the aircraft.

This is not a tiny desk scout. This is a proper twin-engine bomber with shelf authority.
