This is my first bomber with a inside bomb bay.
Unfortunately no VR interior/support.

Some lore:
The B-27 was first commissioned in June 1942 as a bomber concept, having a turret gunner, nose guns and nose cannons, bottom gunner. it was accepted and a order of 987 units were made by the Simpleplanes Air Force (SAF). It was mildly successful enough to be in service until a problem came up, the turret gunner was too heavy to the plane, causing its speed to be affected, in later months, a variant (B-27A-2) was made to remove the turret gunner and a addition of a nose gunner, a few more units were made until the end of war, when they were converted to passenger aircraft, firefighting aircraft and cargo aircraft. Only 13 aircraft survive today, only which are 5 operational.

Real planes I got inspired to make
B-26 Marauder

Controls:
AG-1 is for the turret gunner
AG-2 is for the bottom gunner
AG-8 is for the nose guns/Cannons
Instructions are also available.

Mistakes:
I accidently forgot to hide the flight computer :<
I forgot to make a label that says "Simpleplanes Air Force" and its logo.

Other issue I don't know how to describe
