Updated v2
Credit to @iFalco for props
Something cool I found when browsing concept aircraft, had to build it.
Feel free to make improvements, I really don't know any building tricks or mods to make the awesome replicas I see out there, I just make things functional.
Controls:
1: VTOL up to open VTOL bays (then turn off)
2: Turbines activate
3: VTOL thruster direction (not for use)
4: Main thrusters activate
5: VTOL down to open gunner doors
6: VTOL down to drop gun
7: (turn off 5&6 return to VTOL to center) turret rotation
Attach any weapons you like to turret block, tested with rocketpods, boom 25, and some missiles. (the missiles tend to be a bit more tricky)
