Final Teaser!!! XX8 - Skycastle (Tag post)

20.9k LieutenantSOT  3.9 years ago

Wingspan: 223.5 Feet
Length: 182.5 Feet
Height: 35.3 Feet

Part Count (as of right now): 501

HP/Weight: 0.275
Power/Weight: 0.618



This is my largest build yet! And my phone can barely run it on the highest settings...
I am debating on making it officially part of the THI and calling it the X6-Skycastle... but whatever.
This plane is built to carry 2 high-yield explosives, or 2 nuclear devices along with another 69,000 pounds of explosives. It also hosts 3 Anti-air ball turrets (credit to @Rhunadan) that are dual-barrel 20mm. It also has 2 high explosive anti-ship 120mm autocannons. Also, this beast is quite fun to fly! Just don't pull up too hard :|

I will be making small improvements until I can upload it tomorrow, among them being better lights, more decals, and also cameras and other fine-tuning things.
As always, I hope you like this teaser and if you want to be tagged, please put a T in the comments :)

    BTW that bomb bay took me over an hour to make... grrr

    Also, the plane is supposed to resemble a bird in flight.

    HUUUUGE thanks to @Cyan for the feedback on the wings, @KnightOfRen for the feedback on how to make Custom Control Surfaces truly work good, thanks to @MrEarth for the bomb bay tutorial, and thanks to @Rhunadan for the ball turrets.

    And before anyone asks, this plane was based on the YMF-1 Airacuda and the B-36D Peacemaker. As I will explain later in the true post's story, this plane is also based on the X-6 Crusader (there are nuclear engines on it)
