What (if anything at all) is this aircraft featured in a screenshot lifted from this +ve review of online game “world-of-warplanes”? To me it looks a bit like an HS129 with a rear turret!
You can see the review here.
Many thanks

I love that game! There seems to be a couple of concept aircraft which I assume never left the drawing board? Like the P51J Mustang with the forward swept wings?

Hi All,

I see your point about the Fw57, but think a turreted Fw187 closer. The two designs are presumably fairly closely related anyway.
The FW57 is a 3 man crew, while the FW187 was one, suggest a notable size difference.
I think it is a What-If (the FW57 was produced) aircraft in game, not a fictitious fighter with turret design.

I was going to suggest it was a fanciful turreted version of a Focke-Wulf Fw187 but then I spied a much more likely candidate:
It is a Fw57 http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/fw57.html
