PB-3J "Macbeth"

2,636 Phaz3Shift  8.0 years ago

Another fictional aircraft inspired by those of the First World War, this is a heavy bomber I built around my articulated cockpit. This is a night bomber. I had a lot of fun making a bomb bay that closes smoothly and fits perfectly when fully open (controlled by VTOL), two gunner positions (but only the front fires), water-cooled engines, etc. I really went overboard with this one! Sure, it only holds two of the big bombs, but I hope you have as much fun flying/modifying it as I did designing it! Controls: Standards flight controls (of course), VTOL opens and closes the bomb bays, and AG1 turns on the cockpit light so you can read your charts and make sure the bombs fall on your enemy, not your own base. Turn it off when you're not using it- you don't want some sneaky fighters to see it! :p

Wow, over 1000 parts!

    @DEATH2REVIVE Yep! I don't know why, but I felt like it was oddly fitting. :)

    Epic! It's named after the play Macbeth made by Shakespeare.
