[WIP] Fi-103 Manned Buzz Bomb
#1

Here is my headway on the Manned V1.

History: As the battle of britain progressed, it was realized that the V1 was not nearly as accurate as would be nessasary to bring the thousand year old country to its knees. The design was one out of desparation, piloted bombs. The pilots were under orders from Hitler that they were to guide the bomb to target, aim it, and then punch out. This though was nearly impossible as at +800km/h, the sheer amount of wind resistance would hinder the canopy from being opened. And to make matters worse, if the canopy were to be opened, which seldomly occured, the cockpit was directly beneath the pulsejet, which the pilot would have to attempt to not be sucked into. And if the pilot was lucky enough to survive those harrowing pitfalls, there was a final one, he just guided a bomb, to the city he was parachuting onto, and chances are, he was not going to be greeted with a warm meal and a healthy glass of wine. For these reasons, although they went operational, they were seen as second best to the radio controlled Mistel.

(Please note that the ejection seat i am asking about in the pole would be what decides if you get points or not for that run)

What i could use assistance on: Flight Model(and interior and exterior flight control surfaces(elevators; throttle)) and skinning
