I guess it’s meant to be a model of this submarine from a Tintin comic. Looks good!

The ‘262 was named “Swallow”, but the fuselage has often been described as shark-shaped.
Daz, the Bomber-version was called “Stormbird”, the fighters were the “Swallows”. But I don´t know, if these names were officially adopted by the Luftwaffe …
