Heinkel He-177Z A-1

Some fictional history: The Heinkel He-177Z ("Z" standing for "Zwilling", meaning twin/double) A-1 was first designed in 1944, but never even saw prototype status. It was powered by three Junkers J2089 propellor engines, giving it a top speed of around 240 mikes oer hour. It was meant to destroy shipping convoys, although at this point in the war Germany was on the defensive. It could be equipped with several different loadouts, but the one pictured here is the standard one (six 250 pound bombs). In the nose of the right fuselage was a single 50 millimeter auto cannon and for rear defense were two remote-controlled MK.108 cannons.
