This single seat WW2 German interceptor was proposed by Messerschmitt during the early summer of 1944 and was to be used against Allied bomber formations. The wings and vertical tail were adopted from the V-1 flying bomb and it was to feature a single MK 108 30mm cannon which was mounted beneath the pilot who was in a seated position. Top speed was figured to be at 435mph (700km/hr). Due to resource issues late in the war, it was to be constructed mostly of laminated wood. The model here is shown with a small transport dolly which sits underneath a retractable skid which was to be used for soft field landings after its mission.The project was later cancelled in favor of the Ba 349 Natter which was awarded the production contract.
Plastic and wooden models made by me with over 80+ builds posted here. Be sure to click on “Older Posts” near the bottom of each page. All armor/military models are 1/35 scale, F1 cars are 1/12, aircraft are 1/48, submarines are 1/350 and wooden models in various scales. After a 40+ year hiatus I am trying to hone my skill sets as best I can while having fun. It’s been a very steep learning curve after being “out of the water” for decades!
