Auto Credit Based on MAHADI's WWII Jets Challenge! (CLOSED)

Thanks for silver! I really didn't expect that after one plane...

Based on this blueprint from 1945:



Act. 1-4: Engines
Act. 5: Parachute
Act. 6: RATO boosters for takeoff
Act. 8: lights
VTOL down: flaps
All other controls standard.

The Arado Ar-234P-1 was a proposal for a heavy night fighter based off the already successful Ar-234, the first operational jet bomber. It would have had accommodations made for the large internal radar systems that were just being built and designed, hence the strange nose shape. There were two proposals for the nose of the aircraft, the more well-known being the P-5. The P-1's nose was closer to that of the Ar-234C's, however, and was actually designated Ar-234C-7 prior to being grouped with Arado's second night fighter proposal. I added split flaps instead of conventional ones on accident because the only three view of it has no lines for where the flaps are, and many fighters of WWII had split flaps that could be used to aid maneuvering in combat. It was powered by 4 engines rather than the Ar-234B's two, and would have had an additional bulge holding a ventral array of 4 30mm cannons. Two additional 30mm cannons were placed in the nose. This Ar-234P-1 is also armed with four Henschel HS-294 missiles (pictured below) with a lock range of 0.93 miles, hence the below-engine mounts of the RATO pods.

    @AceOfSpade Hmmmm. It's a bit too well known for what I have in mind with this account, but maybe.

    Man, all we need now is the Focke Wülf Ta-152 with the black scheme from the anime 'The Cockpit'. That would be a cool craft.
