Klfw-225 V141 Double Rammer

[Tophe]

Saturday I am going to paint the (black) canopy or canopies. One or two, that is the question. I must look in historical archives:
- According to the Japanese expert Toichi Nikamura, a rammer interceptor must be a single-seater, not to waste the precious life of trained pilots/kamikazes.
- According to Luftwaffe expert Helmut Mammoth, a rammer interceptor should be piloted by 2 men: an experienced pilot as commander with high propability of mission success, but if he is killed by the gunners of the enemy bomber(s), also a trainee having no possibility to finish training in time and who gets there the chance to be useful, as a second chance for the interception. Saving the home babies from the murdering terrorist carpet bombing.
As the Klfw-225 is German, I guess I will have 2 cockpits.

So strange and wierd.  Interesting build :)

where is the assymetry?

[Tophe]

The length of the 2 fuselages is different, and their tails are very different also. Is this enough? (I could do more, photoshoping the result when the model is finished...).

[Tophe]

Despite the chronical strike of French workers, the prototype has been at last completed, ready to fly on April 1st (and then, mass-produced copies will save Europe from terrorist bombing) :)

Your double-rammer really finished up nicely, mon ami!

I bet you could convince a lot of people this is a mock-up of an actual Top Secret project!

The somewhat sinister dark canopy only adds to the mystery!

Thanks Brian!

where is the assymetry?

I have checked German archives but found no other version than the slightly asymmetric Double Rammer. But your hypothesis could explain this surprising photograph (bad quality sorry) taken from a USAAF Liberator going to attack the Blohm und Voss factory:

Yes, the Liberator gunners were so efficient that the Double Rammer may have needed improvement through (asymmetrically to produce faster) a third rocket jet engine and a third pilot.
