The Avro Vengeance was a lifting body design which utilised the aerodynamic lifting shape of the fuselage to the maximum, the addition of some small stabilising wings which added further lift and stability plus housed the ailerons, gave this massive bomber an awesome ability to lift its payload while maintaining agility and the ability to fly slowly.
SP physics on the wheels is funny as always with heavy builds, if its too bothersome for you there is a panel in the middle coloured yellow, reduce its weight and the wheels work fine.
I have armed it with 2 massive bombs at the front, they are scaled up hugely and weight a substantially amount so nice bangs, and 4 big bombs in the rear bays.
LandingGear button for gear up and down (awesome retract mechanism on all gear, well in my opinion anyway)
AG1 shuts u/c doors
Ag2 opens bomb bay doors and arms the bombs
Ag3 ejects all 6 seats and the 2 knock out panels to allow the rear seats out.
I could have spent months building the cockpit so i compromised to this point, but i did include a toilet and some beds =)
This was build 3 on my list of to-dos.

@RamboJutter probably best
@CptJacobson yep, she's large. I don't think I will put an arrestor hook on this one :)
@RamboJutter,Geez a flying Yacht
@RamboJutter Yes. It just seems funny the way it is written.
@8bitgamer33 eh? oh are you on about the fact they eject?
"No! These seats aren't good enough! Rejected!"
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck well someone still has to fly the plane, rotating for sleep.
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck they add a couple of hundred parts and loads of time, the bomber is huge so I'd be looking at 5-6 seats etc.
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck do you mean on my forum post? If so then plane number 1 wasn't going to have a cockpit.
@Trainzo thanks :) I really liked the way this one turned out.
@RamboJutter , just tested your plane . The steering is remarkable . You have done a extraordinary job .
It looks very Gerry Anderson to me (e.g. Captain Scarlet). Lovely build mate as always!
@Tang0five Yeah, I was mislead by a website there, it had it down as a means to an end, which I thought was appropriate for a heavy bomber, but now I've googled it, it pretty much just meant goodbye... so I've renamed it :) thanks for pointing that out.
I hope by the naming you meant for that to be as a fictional swan song from the illustrious Avro aircraft company?
@RYAviation the wheels judder, if I remove all forward traction it fixes it but then they don't rotate... I have it set at 0.5 for a compromise. The gear doors are a bit of a cheat, they are up on the build but lower automatically when you load in :) easy to line up that way
A great job for a Big plane . Very nice .
Also can we appreciate how seamless the landing gear doors are
What problem on the landing gear were you referring to?
@RAF1 someone stood on thunderbird 2 :)
Looks like something out of Thunderbirds!
I love the cockpit design, very unique looking!
Oh ok. Cool @RamboJutter
@Strikefighter04 lol, ive never really monitored followers, im glad people like what i do enough to follow me though. This was a build i had 75% complete (see forum post of what to finish), ive got loads at present that i just couldnt be bothered to finish.
Btw, we have the same number of followers XD
Man, how do you build so fast?
