Messerschmitt Bf. 109Z-1 Zwilling
SKU: AAM4809As the tide of war turned against the Nazis during WWII, a need for powerful and heavily armed interceptors was identified, and in order to shorten development time, it was decided that an existing type should be the basis from which to develop a new aircraft. The Germans already had experience of creating Zwilling or Twin aircraft by mating two airframes together, using a straight centre-wing section, which would also be a useful load-carrying area into the bargain. The 109Z was essentially two Bf.109Fs joined by the aforementioned centre wing section, a single elevator panel suspended between the two rudders, and the pilot in the port cockpit, the starboard aperture faired over for aerodynamics, and IIRC it could also hold additional fuel.
