Hi guys

You're both right with the period and country, but neither has nailed the aircraft.

Hint: This one never saw service...

All the best

Hi Eetu

Not the Ta 183, but you're on the right track.

Hi Eetu

No - it's a paper-project. Try thinking Messerschmitt...

Hi all

Sorry - I'd forgotten all about this!

Try thinking of a Messerschmitt "Luft '46" aircraft. This mock-up was found by US troops in Oberammergau in April 1945.

All the best

Hi again

OK - even I'm getting bored with this question!

It was the Me P 1112 V1:



The pics come from Monogram's excellent "Jet Planes of the Third Reich" - as does the next one! So! Nice and easy - but not letting you all entirely off the hook... what German prototype formed the basis of this US X-Plane?:



You get bonus brownie-points for naming both the US and German aircraft.

All the best

That would be the P.1101 and the Bell X-5.

Correct Rowan.
I really must stop being lazy and pick a question not related to something I'm working on .

Hi Andy

LOL! I almost hoped I was wrong! OK - I'll go hunting for a another question - and I promise, no more Luft '46 mock-ups!

All the best
