The Messerschmitt Me 328 was a prototype pulsejet-powered fighter aircraft, that arose out of design studies for the P.1079 in 1941, having been envisioned as a parasite aircraft that would protect Luftwaffe bomber formations. The Me 328 was part of a triumvirate of aircraft that were designed to exploit the German advances in new rocket and jet technologies. The other two designs would evolve into the famous Me 262 jet fighter and the Me 163 interceptor. The Me 328 was less succesfull. This is a full scale replica, none of the four Me 328 built survive.
