Junkers Ju EF128
This Junkers design was submitted for the Emergency Fighter Competition in February 1945. The fighter had air intakes on the fuselage sides to divert the boundary-layer air flow to a vent outlet aft of the cockpit fairing. The wings were of wooden construction, swept back 45 degrees and had two small vertical fins and rudders on the wing trailing edges. 540 liters (143 gallons) of fuel were contained in the wings, and a further 1025 liters (271 gallons) were contained in a fuselage tank located just behind the cockpit. A pressurized cockpit was provided with an ejector seat and armor (protection from 12.7 mm rounds from the front, and 20 mm rounds from the rear). Power was supplied by a Heinkel-Hirth HeS 011 jet engine, and two MK 108 30 mm autocannons were installed in the sides of the fuselage nose with 100 rounds each, with a provision for two more. Good results were obtained with a completed wind tunnel model, and a mock-up fuselage with a HeS 011 jet was built for tests in which it was to be mounted above a Ju 88. An additional night fighter/all-weather fighter with a lengthened fuselage and room for a second crew member was also in the design phase, but neither project was completed due to the war's end.
Benutzerhandbuch (user's manual):
While taking off, always hold the lever down (aka 'hammer the S key as hard as you can' or 'drag the Pitch controller as much as you can') at full throttle.
In-flight the airplane does experience some nose drop which can be corrected by setting the Trim controllers down.
While landing, throttle down to about 20-25% and try to keep the aircraft in an almost horizontal position. Once the wheels have hit the ground, quickly activate the parachute (AG 3).
The plane features two 30mm MK108 autocannons shooting 100 bullets each around every 10 seconds. Also, there are four Ruhrstahl X-4B missiles mounted on fixed pods just under the wings (AG 1 and 2).

@Phantomium Oh :'(
@PieroKH2B Glad you like it! I must say though, it's terribly outdated. I would bring it up to date but I've since lost interest in making planes.
I wanted to make one but i thinked in download one instead
@Phantomium it's nice!!
Oh my oh my! Thank you guys for featuring it! :)
in other words, flying fuel tank. 1tracer round to the cockpit = german barbeque. love it!
Nice build and it flies well, too!
🌋 H O T 🌋
Thanks. I could use that @PhantomBladeCorp
@tjktjk11 XML editing. Will do a tutorial on that soon.
How do you get the fuselage to be that color?
@BogdanX Don't wanna be rude, but that looks like some kind of derpy face though :))
@BogdanX Not that. The logo on the nose side. And I knew about the Balkenkreutz (Iron Cross) a long time ago.
@BogdanX It's actually around 10. Take it apart and see for yourself.
Other than that, I tried to make it as close to a 1:1:1 replica as possible. Only the height, length and weight are slightly different. Besides that, if you don't hold S while taking off, the plane starts to yaw to the left and goes off the runway. The only solution seemed to replace the custom landing gear with the default one, but I soon scrapped this idea.
@BogdanX That logo belongs to the JG 53, aka the 'Pik As'. But yeah, the idea of a logo was inspired from your P.1106.
