Another day, another set of project to show you. First up is a single engined Do-335:

The majority of it's weight is at the rear so I was figuring to put two torpedo's or put a BK7,5 gun under it's belly. The gun might be the best option as weight shift after release of the torpedoes causes havoc with it's flight characteristics.

That'll be a Do 167.5 then?  ;D

Magic idea, I LOVE it!  :wub:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I dunno about dropping the torpedo idea.
If it carries a pair under the nose then the rearward shift of the CoG when they are dropped would help it climb away.   ;)

Or, sweep the wings to shift the centre of lift rearwards to compensate for the removal of the front engine.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
