It is build by the former HJ Flying Organisation "Drachenkind"  , in 1946 they catched some left P38 from the US Forces near the rhine river .  The engines where destroyed when the US was forced to get back from german ground by the massive german offensive of the Summer ...

So they used the jet engines and  outer wings  from the 262  .

The plasma flame throwers where invented at the same time to attack the US Bomber fleets with very high killing rates .

And here is the flame thrower !

Who needs Longitudinal Stability when you have Plasma Cannons!

There is a mechanical  Zuse FZS-104 flight stabilizing system integrated , developed in 45/46  !

The plasma guns are synchronized with a electronic analog tube frequency control circuit from AEG for a straight flight balance .

   As a P-38 fan, I love your creation, congratulations!
I am going to draw it following my usual angles, with 2 derivatives probably as I present my Lightnings 3 by 3.      
Thanks again!

At last the length of this flying wing is so short that I had room for 5 instead of 3!
Thanks again.
