(1:285) Argus-Junkers Ground Attack Project

During the last months of the war materials were scarce and time pressures higher to design and build something. Argus and Junkers went together a challenge to design a ground attack aircraft that could easily be created by small firms in the form of building packages. In November 1944 by Professor Heinrich Hertel, who represented the company Junkers, one presented at the Junkers EF 126 ground attack aircraft based on the design EHK (Entwicklungs-HauptKomission). The plane was easy to build, cheap to make, and was powered by two Argus As 014 pulse jets. Consequently, one at a speed of 300 to 350 km / h can take a range of from 40 to 50 minutes. It was decided that the design in practice it would not comply and no aircraft were ordered. With a view to optimizing such type of aircraft was admitted further development of this unit. The new 1945 design was equipped with two Argus As 044 pulse jets that each would develop a thrust of 475kg and the unit at a speed of 810km / h delivery. Further specifications: wing width 6.65m, 7.8m hull length, full length 8.46m, height with landing gear from 1.80m, weight 2980 kg. The unit would be armed with 2x or 1x MK108 MK214 cannon in the nose and 24x R4M or 2 to 4 RZ100 rockets under the wings.
