Auto Credit Based on Boeing727200F's Heavy fighter challenge [closed early]

The LDE-4 came around late in the war to replace or at least assist the P-38 lightnings in the pacific scene. Its 4 engines came from the LJ-12 engines which had better cooling and more reliability when in air. The LDE-4 had 4 engines for redundancy and redundancy alone. Its guns include 6 wing guns and 2 cannons. 1 100mm cannon on the nose and a 50mm cannon for its camera operated turret (a first in the war). No activated groups. Yes I remade the original plane lol. Hope yall enjoy!

    Rating:
    Flight characteristics 10/8 the aircraft flies as well as the original
    Looks 10/9 original plane but better
    Armament 10/10 bombs, rockets and guns along with a turret
    -2 points for guns shooting out the engines (easy fix)
    +3 points for 4 engines
    -1 point for using the original
    I will figure out the score in a second
    40/27 (i think rating it out of 30 or 20 might be too low)
    Note: this is my first challenge so it will be a bit confusing
