History
The B8Y is a multipurpose aircraft developed by the Aichi design bureau from 1942 to 1945. The power unit of two Nakajima NK-105-1800X 2500-hp turboprop engines allowed the aircraft to reach speeds of up to 800 km/h near the ground, and the flying wing aerodynamic scheme provided excellent maneuverability. For the first time in the world, an electro-hydraulic control system with a high degree of automation was installed on the aircraft. The B8Y-3 Otsu "Sandara" is a front-line bomber capable of carrying an impressive payload - two 750-kg guided glide bombs, six 350-kg bombs in a revolver launcher, sixteen 100-kg bombs on beam holders, and two 45-mm Ho-IV automatic cannons. B8Y-3s were first used in 1945 against Allied troops advancing on Okinawa. Many of the Allied capital ships were sunk by gliding bombs, and the offensive was thwarted. Until the defeat of Japan in 1949, these bombers were the main threat to both the Soviet army and the allied forces.

@ErmakSP that's interesting
@Noplane because author of this art is Russian
@ErmakSP ХОРОШ
@Noplane easter egg for those who knows
Why is there Russian in the side
Looks like I have a lot to learn Funky Trees from you
i don't remember asking to be tagged however nice build
Отличный самолёт, но один вопрос:
Зачем гордому японскому пилоту нужна система катапультирования?
Sweet build! Love the fusion of modern HUD and retro number dials. Pop up rear gun, little flames from the engine exhaust. So much to like here.
Awesome. I like this concept. Spotlighted and upvoted
