I'd like to see that.
Ok then.
my "Arado 234" into "Vendeta" (saddly, my paiting skills are... on the orkish side...)
That's awesome!Ok then.
You should post this on the Kit Building thread. Here's a link - https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-official-kit-building-thread.394654/
What a beautiful aircraft. Up there with the Griffon spits.You are talking about the Arado 234C prototype with 4 BMW 003A-1 (also prototype level engines). First 4 jet engine plane
Last of the Zwillings (I think).
Arado Ar-434 Zwilblitz Germany 1946.
that almost looks like an alternative amerika bomber
Agree, I'll remove the inner wheels later like I did on some of my other Zwillings.
actually, i wonder if it would be 4 undercarriages in the style of the front one, so the 2 rear ones also retract afterwards, so in the pic only the 2 front ones would be visible.
You just forgot only one, the most insane Zwilling, the post war Luftwaffe F-104Z...
Wow! I meant the last of my zwilling designs but that's crazier than anything I thought of!
I know the F-104 isn't a highly regarded aircraft but I have a special fondness for it, back in the late 50's early 60's my dad worked at Lockheed when they were building F-104's
actually, its not Lockheed design but idea of German manufacture EWR Proposal F-104G TR aka F-104Z
F-104G TR
EWR-Bericht Nr. 19-64
February 1964.
EWR= EntWicklungRing Süd (Heinkel, Messerschmitt & Bölkow ) later became MBB
start in 1963 study ,,Twin Starfighter’’ for longrange escort fighter for German Navy "Breguet Atlantic" aircraft.
they take two F-104G connected with new wing (Messerschmitt old bf109 Z in newform)
F-104G TR has 2 cockpits one Pilot the other Navigator (with backup controls)
and new longrange Radar.
at the middle wing is a third Drogue parachute (and as addition a Rocket Booster (ZELL ??))
the Sidewinder are replaced by the Sparrow rocket. no M61 Gatling guns on board.
but the F-104G TR had major problem: only 9.760 kg fuel not enough as longrange escort fighter.
(Need 8000 km for "Breguet Atlantic")
so EWR Süd canceled the Study begin 1964
(TR can stand for Trainer / Reconnaissance)

Interesting. I always thought the F-104 looked a little Luftwaffe-1946-ish.
well that puts police brutality at a different level lol
of course having one of these means its crew & maintenance team will be the only police left lol, no funding left for anything else
