The most advanced version of the Me-262 and the 3rd variant Hochgeschwindigkeit fighter design, this was the most advanced version of the Me-262 being the most drastic in design change, first it's underwing engine pods have been replaced with wing-root engines it has the same V-tail as the HGII design, and having a more swept wing which gave better performance at speed, though the HG series produced many advanced designs but due to Germanys lack of resources, lack of pilots, limitations of the engines at the time, and the fact that this aircraft was suited to an offensive role while Germany was fighting a defensive war

    The scale I tend to build planes is bigger than 1:1@ThePrototype

    Also the V-tail didn’t increase drag it reduced it, due to less surface area

    Will you do the version with the cockpit that is mounted in the rudder?
