Really a completely "paper plane", because in reality even a prototype never even went into production. During World War II German aircraft designers created a number of interesting and unconventional flying machine projects. Among them was a vertical take-off fighter with a rotor engine, with jet engines installed at the ends of the blades, that rotate it, designed by the Focke-Wulf company. An interesting solution was, that the propeller is not installed in the front of the device, but in the middle of the fuselage. The fighter was to be armed with two 30 mm and two 20 mm cannons. But the "paper" stage did not progress further.
A well-designed and detailed model of a medium-complexity unconventional flying machine for intermediate and advanced modelers. But it "bites" even for modelers with little experience, but we recommend gluing it under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and it should not be one of the first more complex models You build.
