Goring awarded the Production contract on 23/3/1945 and with his backing construction started on 1/4/1945 at the underground workshops of the Kahla complex in Thuringia, nothing is known of what it's fate was. The air craft was made of steel tubing covered with a 15mm plywood/carbon sawdust/plywood skin, the engines were fitted externally under the wings in two pod of three engines, the landing gear was retractable, there were two weapon station in the nose / tail each with 2x 20mm cannons remotely controlled from the crew cabin which was pressurized and located in the front section of the large vertical surface.

You should come up with a list & pics of 'easily' (nothing is easy) converted aircraft from the stock aircraft that we have, for example there was a 109 that looked like a me262, i've also seen a 262 with a glass nose & a bombardier/gunner in nose....make it easy for modders, that way they will feel willing to help.

I'm not a 46 freak but i like all aircraft :wink:

I would rather see a production model Go-229 with a Ki-46 vertical stabiliser added.
