The model depicted here is the Dornier Do 735N-1A heavy night fighter concept. This aircraft was an attempt to use existing German WWII designs and technology to create an effective heavy high speed night fighter. The basic Do335 trainer was augmented with two Jumo 004B engines and wingtip tanks for high-speed slash attacks against Allied bombers.

Spent shells were ejected outward and away from the radiator intake. The combined firepower of four 20mm cannons and one 30mm nose-mounted gun would have made this a devastating weapon.
