THIS IS FOR WALVIS' MEDIUM BOMBER CHALLENGE
This is the 4th in my MF 336 series, featuring many more engine details, including an intake, more exaust pipes, and a radiator with a flap that moves with throttle and upgraded armament thanks to @Simplyplain I also tried my hand at custom landing gear:)

LORE [FICTIONAL]
The MF-336 was thought up by MeuseFlugzeugBau in Wuppertal Germany, early February 1936. It was planned to be a strike fighter, but as delays in development hindered progress significantly more than first thought due to the short supply of BMW 801 radial engines the months drew closer to 1937 a significant challenger appeared, the Messerschmidt Bf 110, the Bf 110 was faster, more agile, and could carry more weapons, but following adoption in late 1937 a problem was outlined; while the bf 110 had significant amounts of guns, the wing payload was relatively weak. So an opportunity appeared changing the designof the wing structurecould make it a potential medium bomber, given the relatively light bomb load of the 110, the MF-336 had a considerably heavier load, capable of holding up to 2000 kgs of bombs approximately 1000 kgs heavier than its Messerschmitt counterpart. This lead to the adoption of both the 110 and the 336 as the 110 would take out light nests, Flak positions, and light vehicles, the 336 could wreak havoc on bunkers, pillboxes, underground placements, and the heaviest of tanks, with its 4 21 cm Rockets and its 2 1000 kg bombs, it would go everywhere the bf 110 couldn't penitrate, making it vital in the luftwaffes arsenal as a medium bomber.
