Dornier Do-335 A-1 'Pfeil'

~Additional versions and aircraft modifications are at the bottom of the description!~
SIDE-NOTES:
I'm back, and I thought I'd start off my return with one of my most ambitious projects on SP, the Do-335. It's been a while, and with that long time of being away from this game came a gross lack and loss of skill and technique. Despite the long re-learning process I had to take, I finally got around to finishing this project. The plane is big, fast, and high-destruction. With high-explosive 30mm cannon rounds and a formidable bomb ordinance, the aircraft was greatly feared by allied pilots during the second world war.
HISTORY (FROM WIKIPEDIA):
The origins of the Do 335 trace back to World War I when Claude Dornier designed a number of flying boats featuring remotely driven propellers and later, due to problems with the drive shafts, tandem engines. Tandem engines were used on most of the multi-engine Dornier flying boats that followed, including the highly successful Do J Wal and the gigantic Do X. The remote propeller drive, intended to eliminate parasitic drag from the engine entirely, was tried in the innovative but unsuccessful Do 14, and elongated, tubular drive shafts as later used in the Do 335 saw use in the rear engines of the four-engined, twinned tandem-layout Do 26 flying boat.

    @Mostly Thanks for letting me know about this insight. Wow, that's why I did not see much cooperation and sharing in SR

    @WinsWings This about sums up why I moved over to SR. The only real thing I have to add onto that comment is the SP community's history of sharing and exchanging building techniques/methods is something that gives SP an upper hand in the building experience and community stuff. Part of the reason an "SRMC" doesn't really exist.

    Hi @Mostly I came across your profile while looking the SimpleRockets2. I have never used SR2 before, but how do you compare between SP and SR2? I think SP is for more realistic staff and SR is just for fun - not as serious as SP. What is your opinion? (by the way, THIS IS A GREAT BUILD with lots of variants)

    @Dllama4 Go away you slithering stinky crusty llama man. My builds are perfection and i'm beyond every form of criticism because everything I make is absolute objective perfection. Everything you make is poopy and bad and you only got to 100k because you posted a high volume of bad garbage trash. Blocked again and i'm reporting you to the admins for being annoying.! Say goodbye to your account hahah!!

    I’ll think of it, but the only reason I haven’t been posting wunderwaffe planes is because the hottest builds are sometimes saturated with those kinds of posts. @Starbound

    I would really enjoy a series of those fictional/concept german planes from luftwaffe 1946
