skytrain, I checked after I saw your post.
I think it's because it's listed under Vulcan Ion 110.
I wasn't on SC yet...

Starship Enterprise
Nope, that one is fictional and would get me scolded by LM...
This is (was) a project only.

Unsure, I think those are twin turbojet, but they were also experimenting with single and twin ramjets...

Edit:Ah! Pulse-jets! (that explains the grilles...)

Messerschmitt 1079/51 aka Messerschmitt 328 Bordflugzeug (parasite plane).
Even though there are quite a number of different designs under the 1079 designation I think I can safely award this to you.
RegDep has control.

Edit: even though Wiki lists it as project P.1073?

Totally different mate...you posted the one on Mel's list, which is of more traditional design!

Definitely yes.
See for yourself:
http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...lenge-959.html
I reckon my source must have been mistaken... but so is wiki, at least if you search for "Messerschmitt project P.1073"with google images...

I think it's just another version of the Me 328 and it's also different from the Me 328 on Mel's list (which I guessed a while ago).

Wow!

Would you believe that's where I put the cockpit the first time but I went with a Hs-132 approach!

Thanks HP! Found only 1037/17 by the time of responding, and it had different engine, but same wing, so I thought what the heck - it is all about timing.

Next:
