1/72 Scale Victory 357 Hawk Prototype Aircraft Plastic Model

AMP (Ukraine) manufacturer serial number 72-010 presents a 1/72 scale plastic kit of the Victory 357 (Победа 357). This kit is unpainted, unassembled, and does not contain paints and glue. It is in new condition and comes in its original box.

In the early 1929, Thomas T. Brown published an article in the prestigious Science and Invention magazine titled "How I Control Gravitation." This groundbreaking article discussed Brown's discovery of using electrogravitics to control gravity. He observed an unusual effect while experimenting with a Coolidge tube, where he found that by placing it on a balance scale, the tube's mass seemed to decrease when the positive electrode was facing up, and increase when it was facing down. Brown hypothesized that by using high enough voltage generated by a powerful engine, any object could be rendered weightless.

Both Americans and Soviets took notice of Brown's discovery, with the Soviets being particularly interested in unlocking the mystery of gravity after World War II. A special sector was established under the Institute for Physical Problems in Moscow to study gravity control propulsion, and after a few years, this sector spun off to become its own research center.

Large-scale tests proved that indeed gravity could be controlled, with one experiment showing that a 500 kg solid block of graphite weighed only 3236 N instead of the normal 4903 N. This led to the development of a special vehicle, the Victory 357 (Победа 357), which was essentially an ekranoplan using jet engines for horizontal propulsion and an enormous 15,500 HP Kuznetsov NK-12 generator for powering the electrogravitics elements. The generator was able to reduce the weight of the vehicle from 160,000 N to 85.000 N, making it a groundbreaking technological advancement.
