The Junkers Ju 287 was a projected Junkers attack and dive fighter aircraft.In the literature it is often incorrectly referred to as the Junkers Ju 187, although the number 187 was already assigned to Focke-Wulf.
As a special feature of this model, the entire vertical stabilizer should be swiveled backwards/downwards about a transverse axis by approx. 60° after take-off. As a result, the actual nose edge of the tail would have been flush with the top of the fuselage and would have provided an improved field of fire for the defensive armament. Only a dummy and several wind tunnel models were made.
I made it as part of a modding project for the Total Reskin group for the PC game Hearts of Iron IV, to add a unique (quickly made) progressiv dive bomber to the Germans.
