Seeing the various postings on You Tube concerning German aircraft design, I wonder why the British were so slow to exploit the potential of the jet engine given we had a short headstart with Whittle inventing it. We could possibly have had unbeatable long-range bomber escorts earlier in the war if we had. There are so many "what ifs" that arise from WW2 history, not least why Germany wasn't put down in 1938. At that point the modern, powerful, highly mechanised Czechs may have done it alone.
If the German's had made this (And they could have in 1943 if hitler didn't concetrate so much on tanks) they would have won the war for sure, No doubt.
The dihedral on the B-29's wings is wrong--they look droopy. And, the Ta-183's air intake is too small.
