Focke Wulf Ta-154D



In 1943, during the design of the Ta-154 Mosquito, Kurt Tank also investigated the possibility of creating a jet engined variant of the Ta-154. After a proposal was made to the RLM, the jet engined Ta-154 received the variant designation D and became the Ta-154D.



Because the jet engines occupied the place of the original nacelles, the undercarriage needed to be redesigned. Focke Would decided to mount the main undercarriage legs in the fuselage sides in a similar configuration as the Ar-234.



The first Ta-154D flew in September 1944 and used two Jumo 004 engines. A pre series of 24 aircraft was ordered as the Ta-154D-0. Due to the course of the war and the shortage of jet engines the development of the Ta-154D was halted in February 1945.





Model: PM Models Ta-154 with Ar-234 engines.
After the Ar-234G this could not be far behind! 
Again this was started way to early to be included in the group build.
