Auskito

What if Australia built an aircraft something like the British Mosquito?

It might have turned out a little like this.

Firepower is mostly in the nose, 4 heavy machine guns.
Note I said 'mostly'.
2 big cannons are sitting in the wing roots, waiting to cause havoc.
The Cannons fire ONCE a second.
Us Aussies like to overdo things sometimes.
Could possibly be a multi-role aircraft, works fairly well as a fighter, probably be pretty good as a bomber too.

Controls as per normal, is a bit nose heavy.

edit: Includes the first time I have successfully made my own landing gear, simple though it is.
I may have overdone the big cannons. Go play with the ships.
Watch out for return fire, no countermeasures on board.

WWII Australian markings as mentioned in the comments of the last plane I made.

    Wondering why no red centers on the roundels?
    Apparently during WWII, some Aussie planes were mistaken for Japanese aircraft due to the red centers and were fired on.
    The red centers were removed to prevent the same mistake from happening again.
