The Henschel Hs 132 project did produce a small number of aircraft towards the end of the second world war, but they were never completed by the time the war ended. It was intended to be a single seat replacement for the Junkers Ju 87 'Stuka', which was obsolete and outclassed by the late war.

This small fighter jet was bought to go alongside other late war German warplanes in my WWII Luftwaffe Secret Base diorama.
