The first prototype was intended to evaluate the concept, and was assembled from
the fuselage of an He 177 A-5, the tail of a Ju 388, main undercarriage from a
Ju 352, and nosewheels taken from crashed B-24 Liberators, all of which were
fixed to lower weight and complexity, and equipped with spats to reduce drag.
Two of the Jumo 004 engines were hung in nacelles (pods) under the wings, with
the other two mounted in nacelles added to the sides of the forward fuselage.

A remarkable aircraft, even more so because it was assembled from the
parts of so many different models of aircraft. I was rather amazed
that it used the gear recovered from crashed B-24 Liberators, I guess
there were quite a few of those.




It definitely has that "designed by a committee and made with spare parts" look
to it.
