No need to get upset. We're just making the historical point. if you want to make a fictional basis for a model of whatever aircraft, that's fine, as long as you make it clear that it is fiction. I wouldn't mind a model of the P-67 Bat at all, but I do accept that as a design it was a failure and never came close to USAAF acceptance. The same is true about German what-if's. Most are little more than doodles made on napkins, ideas to put under the nose of the RLM, possible future production contracts. What I do note however is the mystique that surriounds secret nazi projects, as opposed to the dry national security of 1940's America, who it must be said weren't too keen to honour their side of the technology sharing agreement once the war ended.
