This is my first request,and im not good at gathering data but ill try my best
The Hispano aviacion 300!
Designed by no ther than Willy Messerschmitt for the spanish airforce,it was later canceled due to spain adquiring american aircraft,although one of his other designs,the HA-200 did make it to production.
This plane was later built in egipt by Helwan,who buots a fully working prototype,but they still canceled it ,due to economical problems,probably.
the prototype now in display in munich
probably how it would have looked if it was produced for the spanish air force.
I found this while looking at pictures,Could be an interesting skin.
