Great idea and well executed!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The V1s could be used as decoys: a clockwork direction-changing mechanism and a wire-spool-and-cutter chaff dispenser instead of a warhead would be perfectly within the capabilities of the times. Then with two bomb-aimers, you could guide two He-293s at once...

:cheers:

top tactics Weaver  :thumbsup:, as much as I like the look of this thing, I wouldn't want it to make it's target  :o , it's a bit like a Tirpitz  ;D :thumbsup:

As a modeller, I love this plastic little desk model :wub: ... but, at scale 1, the pilot may not love such a plane :angry: : the V1 pulse-jet flames would burn the tail and the plane would crash. Good: self-destruction of the Nazi evil ;D
(I will present a different version in my CGI topic http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,20326.150.html in less than an hour I think)
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

not so Tophe, ...they are released as gliders and then the engines kick in  ;D as with the Arado 234C

"The Germans also considered launching V-1s from the back of the Arado Ar-234 jet bomber, using an odd rack that swiveled the missile up away from the aircraft at launch. "
