Best shot I have ever seen of that bird. Will use it on my Fine Molds kit. Thanks!

It has a certain "Do335" feel to it, though I imagine as a fighter, it would have suffered like the Pfiel...it looks to be better suited for flat-out speed...

That was it's intended role, but as we've seen with many of these projects, too many people start getting their ideas mixed in and pretty soon it becomes a dog and pony show.

There was consideration to adapt the R2Y as a high-altitude interceptor and as a light bomber and God only knows what else...

Yes I believe the next airframe was to mount two jets and get rid of the troublesome power plant arrangement. I have some pictures of it's ruins after the war.

Its the French CC-02 a ducted fan jobbie, and its a one=off.

The guy who designed and built it is also currently working on an experimental battery powered light aircraft.

Nice one dude !
