Northrup P-61 Black Widow

597 Swanchise16  8.7 years ago

This is a replica I made of the Northrup P-61 Black Widow Fighter that was used during WWII. It was the first aircraft produced by the U.S to be classified as a "night fighter" and was also one of the first allied planes to be outfitted with radar. I tried to make my replication as close to the original as possible while still controlling well in flight. (Yes, the turret works, dont shoot your tail or bad things happen.) and feel free to add/remove/mod things as you wish! Controls: VTOL- Turret Rotation Group 1-Turn on Front Guns. Group 2-2x500lb bombs. Group 3 and 4: 2x 250lb bombs each. Note: I did not add the wing mounted air brakes because when the wings were covered with fuesalage it made the flight model quite funky.
