The Design
Vickers Venom II is a six-engined early flying wing design that was more advanced than the American B-49 flying wing at the time when it enters into service in 1959 with the Royal Air Force. Its main objective was for the Nuclear strike role in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was Painted with anti-flash white (to protect from the powerful flash while an atomic bomb explosion) and RAF roundels with low visibility markings.
This version is a later model which was modified into a conventional carpet-bombing role and enhanced with cruse-missiles for air-to-surface attacks.
Carpet Bombing
As a bomber, its objective is to deliver nuclear or conventional weapons into the heart of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Later the Nuclear strike role was changed to the conventional bombing mission. Which is capable of carpet bombing (hit AG-4) - which has 20 conventional bombs.
And also armed with 4 powerful Air to ground/anti-shipping missiles.
Self Defense
During intruding enemy territory, this bomber is armed with 4 Air-to-air missiles as self-defense against enemy fighters. There is a tail gun with 2x20mm cannons.
Weapons:
- Carpet bombing with 20x conventional bombs (AG4)
- 4 Cruse missiles
- 4 Air to Air missiles for self-defense
- 2 tail guns for self-defense
- Countermeasures

Huge, unique cool looking bomber with only 273 parts?!
Satisfactory.
Tbh This thing looks pretty cool
@ShinyGemsBro I know, but I like the name and looking for something starting with 'V'. So I make this as Vickers Venom-II...LOL
@Sergio666 Thank you so much
Majestic
Fun fact: The real Vickers Venom is actually a failed WW2 fighter
@MrCOPTY Its a mix of Avro Vulcan and such era flying wings (like YB-49)- B2 is too modern compare to this
@WinsWings look like B-2 + B-1, may B-1.5?
@Gabriel747 thanks
