I've been delaying this project for some time now, so I finally decided to finish it up and post. I saw this plane in an Instagram post and figured it would be a fun plane to build. So here she is! There's a lot of small parts of the aircraft and my iPad started to lag from the part count and size of the aircraft. Now with all of that said, this thing handles like a brick and is super tricky to land. when taking off it likes to yaw to the left so just straighten it out and pull back on the stick. all of the guns move, activate group 1 and 2 and use VTOL to move the guns. Enjoy!

Yeah, I definitely agree with that statement hahahaha @JetstreamAeroEngineering
@Mustang51 yeah, WWII aircraft are always confusing.
@BACconcordepilot lol
Hahahaha well fair enough then lol @BACconcordepilot
I saw that one too and my conclusion wasn't that it was a different version but that the forward spar was just not drawn since it's quite a bit smaller than the rear one and might have been overlooked. But then again it could just be a different version like you said but that's just my thoughts. An amazing build of a classic plane btw! @JetstreamAeroEngineering

@Mustang51 that must be a different version from the one I was building this one off of. I'm looking at the schematic rn and it definitely shows only one on the top.

@BACconcordepilot is actually correct. It needs more wing spars on the elevator. it had two sets on both the top and bottom of them, not just the bottom. Easy mistake to make though since they aren't all that visible in many pictures of the aeroplane.
@BACconcordepilot where? from all of the schematics I've looked at, this is correct.
