NACHT-CONDOR

WW2 Germany meets the B-52 with the fictional NACHT-CONDOR! This beast of a bomber would've changed the course of WW2 as it's capable of flying faster than any WW2 fighter, can fly higher and could reach places like Moscow and New York with ease.

Powered by 8 Jumo jet engines, it can cruise at a steady 370mph (IAS) at 80% throttle and 28.000ft.

I re-used the cockpit of my Nacht Falke, which is pretty much completely modelled with a moving yoke, rudder pedals, throttle control, attitude indicator, flaps lever and gear lever.

The attitude gauge was made by ChiChiWerx

This version is equipped with 10 x Boom 25's, stowed away in the bomb bay.

Have fun!
