Album info What-if kit-bashing. In this Luft46-scenario Germans have captured a few Gloster Meteors and have used their engines to power He 162. So instead of having one captured fighter they get two fighters. Also He 162 having its production volumes exceed Me 262's it is lacking BMW-engines. A-8-variant (He 162 with a Jumo 004) was one solution for this upcoming problem.
