Messerschmitt Me-262 A1 (V1.3 by fireyoshiqc)
V1.3 Notes:
- First attempt at rounded air intakes. The fuselage has to be behind the leading edge of the inlet, otherwise the engines get no air. If anyone has a suggestion on how to do it better, please let me know in the comments.
An accurate replica of the Me-262A "Schwalbe", the first jet ever jet fighter to participate in actual air-to-air combat.
Specs:
- Twin turbojet engines (thrust is largely exaggerated compared to real model, in order to reach the same top speed of ~ 530 mph)
- "Tricycle" landing gear configuration
- 4 x front-mounted wing guns
- 14k lbs load weight (accurate)
- 644 gallons fuel capacity (accurate)
Scale is just about right. It flies very well, unlike the real one! Be careful with thrust as the engines guzzle through the fuel tank in a short while at max thrust. Hope you enjoy!
