Source: tvd.im "Blohm & Voss made its mark for World War 2 Germany as a large flying boat maker. However, its engineers were hard at work in selling the Luftwaffe on various cutting edge - if sometime unorthodox - designs. The P. 207 was one of the submissions passed on to the Air Ministry for consideration and was developed against the concept of a single-seat, conventionally-powered fighter. The P. 207 was given a stout, deep fuselage with the single-seat cockpit aft of a rounded nosecone assembly and under a lightly-framed canopy. The fuselage (showcasing a trapezoidal appearance from the forward profile) was well-tapered at both ends with a cruciform-style tailplane used at rear. The nose assembly would house the four-cannon armament comprising 2 x 30mm MK 103 seated over 2 x 20mm MG 151/20 weapons. This was made possible by the rear placement of the propeller unit, arranged as a "pusher", positioned aft of the tailplanes. The engine itself was installed aft of the cockpit and a drive shaft used help to deliver power to the propeller. An air intake was set aft of the chin running under the cockpit floor. The wing mainplanes were installed low at midships and were straight in their general appearance with a slight rounding of the tips. The mainplanes were to exhibit some dihedral. A wheeled tricycle undercarriage completed the list of features and gave the P. 207 a rather tall stance when ground-running.i hope you all enjoy!!!
