Consolidated B-24D Liberator
First of all, credit to @Stampede for the inspiration to create this. He asked for a little help on his B-24, I got carried away and this is what resulted. Also, @thealban for the awesome markings. INSTRUCTIONS: AG1 plus VTOL slider up to retract the main gear (use normal gear retract for the nose gear). AG2 plus VTOL to operate the top turret...don't shoot off your tail! Make your approaches at 150-160 mph (about 25% throttle), it takes concentration to land, just like the real thing. HISTORY: The B-24 was the most produced US combat aircraft of all time with over 19,000 built. Along with the B-17 and later B-29 it formed the backbone of the USAAF bomber force in WWII. B-24s flown out of Libya were generally painted in the "desert pink" depicted here and participated in Op "TIDAL WAVE" against Nazi oil production in Romania, where 5 Medals of Honor were awarded, the most for any air action.

@NotYourGrandma you can fix this by setting a part limit, after testing my gab i found that 300 parts was the max limit before lag
That is cool!)
Really nice plane, but unfortunately crashed the app on my tablet. Keep up the good work!
Of course! It's beautiful!@ChiChiWerx
@Insertname thanks!
By the way everyone...it's CONSOLIDATED, not "consolidared"
@FennVectorCWA thanks and hey, no worries, perhaps someone else will, I just think it's a pretty good build, I had fun building and flying it and I just want others to enjoy a nicely built good flying WWII heavy bomber.
@ChiChiWerx i wish to spotlight it but i believe that i should wait for the next 18 hours
@FennVectorCWA thank, thank you very much, I appreciate it!
U can repaint it like in expendables anyway it is PORFECT
@thealban and @Stampede check this out!
@BogdanX yup, it's "desert pink", that's what they painted them when they flew them out of North Africa in WWII. I knew it would stand out. What I'm totally p.o.'d about is the fact I uploaded this through my PC and I couldn't translate across the screen like I can on my iPhone, so the upload pics look like barf 😡
