54.2k CoolPeach  7.5 years ago

This plane took far too long to put together and has way too many parts, but I'm proudly presenting the Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer, a maritime patrol bomber. Featuring functional turrets, a large numbers of bombs and custom landing gear.

Credit for @SlowJet for helping with the bomb bay

Controls:
VTOL (Flaps- I recommend you always keep these extended to give level flight)
AG1 + TRIM - Front turret (Up and down)
AG2 + TRIM - Rear turret (Up and down)
AG3 + TRIM - Top turrets (Up and down - Don't pull to far down)
AG4 + TRIM - Top turrets (Left and right)
AG5 + TRIM - Side turrets (Left and right)
AG6 + TRIM - Bomb bay (Slide TRIM down)
AG8 - Nav lights
Equipped with 16 Bomb 50's in the bomb bay

Information:

The Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer is a World War II and Korean War era patrol bomber of the United States Navy derived from the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. The Navy had been using unmodified B-24s as the PB4Y-1 Liberator, and the type was considered very successful. A fully navalized design was desired, and Consolidated developed a dedicated long-range patrol bomber in 1943, designated PB4Y-2 Privateer. In 1951, the series was redesignated P4Y-2 Privateer. A further designation change occurred in September 1962, when the remaining Navy Privateers (all having previously been converted to drone configuration as P4Y-2K) were redesignated QP-4B.
