The Airacuda was developed to be a Fighter/Bomber equipped with a bombload as wells as two-37mm cannons for ground attack. With a crew of 5 consisting of pilot, co-pilot/bombardier, rear gunner, and two gunners who sat in the engine nacelle's not to aim but to reload the 37mm's for the pilot. Despite the sleek design, she wasn't as fast as rival designs, had a meager 600lb bombload, and was difficult for crew to exit if an emergency occured. A total of 13 were produced and a squadron formed, but they didn't see alot of action. My take on this beauty combines a few paint schemes to brighten it up. Requires a touch of trim for smooth sailing. AG-1 activates the defesive rear gun blisters. Please let me know if you have any feedback for improvements. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!

@Sgtk awesome =)
@FranticMatty from your Airacuda challenge. I uploaded this a while back, but I think it fits the bill.
If I remember correctly, the Airacuda was intended as a bomber destroyer. An aerial battleship, as it were. Not a bomber or attack aircraft.
Could be Im wrong...
Either way cool beans.
@melojam I haven't gotten to it yet. I've got one more up my sleeve and then I think I'd lime to attempt it
@Sgtk You going to make my R3Y?
