Blohm & Voss BV 145 'Schwertfisch'
WIKI
The Blohm & Voss 145 nickname 'Schwertfisch' Is a single seat multirole dual rottor propeller fighter, escort, interceptor and Torpedo bomber aircraft. The aircraft's first prototype was build in 1943 to test if a Dual Rottor in the middle of the aircaft was capable of Fighter and bomber capabilities as same with maneuverability , but due to more important and prioritized plans the Proyect was scraped and canceled. After the war, it luckly was not found by the Americans or the Soviets.The first prototype was found as same as it was left and with its plans, the recovering Luftwaffe started to build to what it remained of the aircraft within permission and funding of the West German Federation Defense Minister. The recovered Plane went into testing and further more examination, altough an outdated plane compared to other Fighters at the time, The Luftwaffe put the one and only Blohm & Voss 145 in service, Only to be retired in 1950, and remaining in a museum to be an odd but quite unique piece of history.

I would recommend making one of the propers counter clockwise
I love this design but just pointing out some unrealism if you want tips maybe? Good build but some tips (pontunes are way too small for this to ever float) (propellers are not supposed to hit the water) (props should be counter rotating or irl it would be unstable) FYI I love this plane! Just a few things u might wanna know 🙂
@ThomasRoderick Nope
Pray tell this is not from the same 'verse as those magnificent flyers from @RamboJutter?
