The Eradicator B.1 is a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by Altair-Crowe and flown primarily by the RNVAF during the First Continental War and Great World War. The Eradicator was designed for high-altitude strategic bombing but also excelled in low-altitude night incendiary bombing, and in dropping naval mines to blockade enemy forces. It was the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb during wartime, using a nuclear bunker buster to destroy an underground command facility.
INSTRUCTIONS
Ag.1=Open Bomb Bay Doors
AG.2=Drop Fore Bombs(Carpet Bombing)
Ag.3=Drop Aft Bombs(Carpet Bombing)
Ag.7=Activate Turrets
Ag.8=Disable Trim, So you can turn the turrets while the plane’s trim won’t be affected
VTOL=Flaps
TRIM=Trim/Turret Traverse(no elevation)
Nothing fancy, just a quick and simple build. Yes I took most of the description from the B-29's wikipedia page

@DestinyAviation Thanks! I did thought of adding custom landing gear but the ones I built didn't look right, and I had other projects I need to finish so I went with stock landing gear. Maybe in the future I'll add custom ones
Great build! I think adding custom landing gear would make it even better!
April 15. You can submit the one you just built. Just replace your cockpit with the one from the challenge and repost.@UnguidedCylinder
@HeavyC22 Actually, I would, but I've already built a torpedo bomber a few days back and building this thing was a journey. I may or may not build another torpedo bomber, but we'll see. When's the deadline?
This is true. I am working on another submission now. I would love to see your take on my torpedo bomber challenge @UnguidedCylinder
@HeavyC22 well the challenge isnt over so no one won yet
@Nuclearbomber36 thanks!
@Aviator01 about 120, 60 in each bomb bay
@lilgreen06 two engines, one behind the other to simulate contra-rotating props
Welp I lost
Wow!
How many bombs are in there? 3000?
how did you get the double prop.?
