Perfect for use in games and simulation projects. The Messerschmitt Bf 162 was a light bomber aircraft designed in Germany before World War II, which flew only in prototype form. The Bf 162 was created in response to a 1935 RLM specification for a schnellbomber (fast bomber) for tactical use. Messerschmitt's design was a modified Bf 110 with a glazed nose to accommodate a bombardier. In 1937, three prototypes were flown against rival designs, the Junkers Ju 88 and the Henschel Hs 127, both entirely new aircraft. It was eventually decided that the Ju 88 would be selected for production, and development of the Bf 162 ended. As a disinformation tactic, images of the Bf 162 were widely circulated in the German press, captioned as the Messerschmitt Jaguar, a name never used outside this context. This aircraft's RLM official airframe number of 8-162 was later re-used for the Heinkel He 162 jet fighter, probably again for disinformation purposes. Formats include: FBX.
