Germans fielded a number of airborne AT rockets in the winter of 1944/45. There were Panzerschreck 1 and 2 and Panzerblitz 1 and 2, while Panzerblitz 3 and 4 were in development. Sadly, there's an incredible mess in available books as far as details of these rockets are concerned - e.g. I...

Hi, the AGO Ao.225 mock-up. http://rareaircraf1.greyfalcon.us/GERMANY.htm

Does anyone have any information on a late-war German scissor-wing project titled Messerschmitt Courier (turbojet project). This design is similar to the Messerschmitt P.1108. I have a very simple resin kit by Part Time Models and was looking for more information to detail the kit - i.e - how...
