This is my first build. The XB-73 is a sleek, twin-seater jet with a striking profile, designed with four engines capable of reaching speeds up to 1000 mph. The engines, encased in individual pods, are affixed below a set of large, straight wings. Its landing gear boasts a unique configuration with the front landing gear only being used for landings. The rear cockpit is set up for a crew member to operate a remote-controlled tail gun, facing backwards. The air intakes are in an echo style, indicating a focus on high-speed performance. The cockpit buttons are only fir decoration, to operate the tail gun use ag 6 and 7 in combination with trim and vtol.
