Ag-1 for chute. Ag-2 to 5 for individual bomb racks. VTOL for bomb bay control
The latest variant of the Collosus. It now has a drogue chute for slowing down on landing. Old intakes have been replaced and fitted with new, more efficient ones. Thanks to the addition of bomb racks, capacity for 500lb bombs has been increased to 24.
Afer the great success of the Elephant, the USAF put out a request for a heavy bomber with an internal bomb bay. The plane that was accepted was the XB-948. The XB-948 could carry any of the bombs that the retired Mammoth could carry. The XB-948 eventually entered full service. The Collosus can carry up to 50,000lbs in payload.

@Treadmill103 Considering it is the largest plane I've ever been able to finish (cough 1:1 scale B-36 cough), it does make sense.
