Messerschmitt Me 126 "Preussens Gloria"

47.9k Phantomium  8.1 years ago

One of the few Luftwaffe stunt planes, the Me 126 would've been one of the first jet stunt planes. What started out as a normal fighter project ended up being shelved due to various designing errors. However, the Propaganda Ministry was pleased by it's outstanding looks. Thus, they decided to produce it as a stunt plane.

This one, in particular, was painted in typical black-white-yellow combination, colors that are otherwise considered as Prussian. Called after the famous march "Preussens Gloria", the Me 126 Werknummer 14287945 would've been world's first jet stunt plane.

I think I slightly rushed it, but I just couldn't look at it without sharing it with you all. Beware: this thing can go up to 1400 mph at high altitude. Be gentle with the controls.

    @Akrimonious Well, you simply download the plane you want, modify it however you want and upload it.
    XML-wise, a successor is a plane that bears the same URL as, say, another plane.

    How do I create a "successor?" I'd really like to be involved with these challenges, but I don't know how.
