North American VF-53

22.5k Boeing727200F  1.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's 96 Parts Challenge 9.20.23 [CLOSED]

The B-53 is a good aircraft to use as a base. I have made fighter models, a PSM model, an attack model, and finally a VTOL model. Quick lore about this plane: North American decided to make a VTOL. They used the B-53 and made the XV-53, the experimental VTOL of this plane. 3 were made that they were a success. 23 VF-53s were made for the United States many army corps. This one is equipped with a desert paint scheme and 4 boom 50s.
