Auto Credit Based on GhostHTX's Arado Ar-1337a V-1 Amerika Bomber (Luftwaffe Challenge)
First. Many thanks and credit to F104Deathtrap for the awesome nose section on this kite.
Second. The rest of this bird from the red warning line back is all me. Im not too happy with it, but I ran out of patience and processing power (700+ parts on an iPhone).
Its a B-50 D. Or at an approximation of one...
So, controls;
AG1 and gear cycles the landing gear
AG 2,5,6,7 unlocks the various turrets. Pitch and roll to move them.
AG 3 and gear cycles the bomb bay doors
AG 4 drops the mother load
Vtol up for flaps and trim to trim her pitch attitude.

@GhostHTX Well, it was more than four years ago, long before all these nifty new gadgets like funkytrees or fuselage slicing... And given my own creations back then were oftentimes below 100 parts with no paneling or interior to speak of... it would be much more forgivable to have a non-functional turret than a hideous plane. And about fakery... it's just that I personally enjoy having my planes' flight characteristics as close to how it would be be IRL as possible. Given my personal builds are oftentimes created with my personal AU settings (no, I won't write a fic about them, I'm too autistic for that) in mind, I felt it personally necessary to "feel" how something would function in-universe, and not just in-game.
@ThomasRoderick
Im affraid I broke 4, 7, and 8… only a little, though…
@GhostHTX Their loss, pal, their loss. Also, what rules? Unless you meant those self-imposed restrictions only someone as autistic as I am would follow...
@ThomasRoderick
I must say - Im very grateful for the plethora of upvotes, old boy. Nice to see someone who appreciates what I do. Sorry I dont always live up to "the rules", however…
From Amerika Bomber to American bomber, I see...
Definitely deserving of more attention, magnificent specimen!
fabulous!
I’m not ‘down’ with the trumpets either so don’t worry! Yup I think you can certainly double (/triple maybe?) points by milking the sh1t out of teasers/pointless comment posts. But you haven’t done this or do this which makes your level of achievement more meritable (if that’s a word). I look forward to your next build good man! @GhostHTX
Im just not «hip» enough. That and I dont like making epic teaser posts, which seem to be the thing to do if you want epic numbers of upvotes.
I used to be cool, honest... I @Tang0five
I second @ChiChiWerx as he quite incredulously stated! Why this wasn’t featured I don’t know. If i am (somehow) ever in a position to spotlight your work old boy, I will be making a redress to this :)
Hey, what can I say? Im like chopped liver over here... Thanks, though! @ChiChiWerx
Only 14 upvotes? Deserves a lot more...
Thanks! @ThePrototype
Very nice
@pancelvonat Thanks! But my comment was really a general commentary on how random the upvoting can be here. I wasnt fishing for upvotes! You are most kind, though.
Thanks! @Trainzo
Very good replica. Great job.
Lag life
@GhostHTX Thanks
Sweet build, I wish I could Spotlight it but you have more points, nice!
I share your pain. Mine tops out at around 400. Large scale builds slow my pad down too! Brilliant stuff once more! @GhostHTX
Thanks matey. In the end I just gave up. This iPhone maxes out at around 700 parts. There are so many details I would have liked to add. @Tang0five
Looks awesome! Shame I can’t fly it but oh boy, you’ve put a great deal of effort into it!
Cheers! I think I would need another 200 parts or so to really do her justice. But this is an adequate place holder until someone does better. Your nose is awesome, btw. @F104Deathtrap
@GhostHTX Looks really sharp! I dig it.
