When Allied bombers began tearing up german factories Hitler came to the Blohm and Voss company to create a powerful, high visibility fighter to challenge the B-17s. However in exchange for good verticle visibilty anything below the nose is invisible to the pilot. Ultimately leading to extreme losses of the 166 in the air from P-51 escorts.

@TheGuyYouMightKnow indeed
@Roswell Thank you!
Amazing!
@Zippy6 Thanks! I didn't exactly have practical design in mind lol. Usually the more 'unique' the design the more love it gets, although so far that isn't showing to be true.
It’s a bit tail heavy, and the “anatomy” is rather wishful, but awesome in its simplicity of detail. Love the color of the jet exhaust! Plus the motions on the camera are epic, I would’ve never considered doing that! Cannons are awesome and I know of several aircraft on which they would fit perfectly.
@RailfanEthan Thanks!
Sweet beans
@aPinata Thanks!
