Me-709

[mthrockmor]

I was snooping around Google and stumbled onto paintings of a push/pull fighter called the Me-709. I did more research and could find nothing beyond the pictures.

Who knows anything about this bird?

I havend found anyhing that shows that a Me-709 existed more than maybe on a paper. Messersmith had a couple of project based on the 109 but none where operational and none where designated 709 so it might be a fantasy model.

The kit and its assembly

This what-if was inspired by a picture of a very similar model I found a while ago in the WWW, and I found the idea of a push/pull Me 109 derivate very attractive. Why not? When I thought about how to realize such a model with as little effort as possible, I came across HUMA's Me 609 kit - and this basically offered anything necessary, bare the tail booms. These were quickly gathered from the spare box: they come from a Fw 189 (Airfix) and were cut just behind the wings’ trailing edge. Still a bit thick, but the idea of using the front as radiator intakes is a neat solution which also frees the fuselage from the bulky cooler tub of the Me 309.

 That's nothing compared to the P-51VLR(20mm).

Was an actual design from what I can tell, never left the drawing boards though.
