Known to the Allies as the Buzz Bomb (due to the V-1's Pulsejet engine making a distictive "Buzz" noise when in flight), the V-1 was an early pulsejet-powered cruise missile used by Nazi Germany in WWII. They were launched primarily to try and destroy the ports of Antwerp, Belgium and Southeast England. This isn't an exact replica, of course, but a functional one, at least. This V-1 has a 2000lb bomb for a nose in an attempt to replicate the V-1 as a flying bomb... Well, I thought that it was a good idea at the time, least I tried. I gave my ver. of the V-1 with a Bicycle-type landing gear, without the "training wheels" unfortunately, meaning that "rolling" the plane would be necessary when attempting to take off from a runway. Thanks to the 2000lb bomb at the front of the aircraft, this means that the V-1 would be very nose-heavy. So in long flights ( if even possible), autopilot would be needed to keep the plane level. P.S. This V-1 can take out the USS beast and its escorts when smacked right into them.
