For Himynameiswalrus's Messerschmitt challenge, i give you, the Me-410 :D thanks to simpleplanes adding a new fuselage shape of circular, my wings are no more hideously bulky :D and ofcourse, here are the instructions :
- act. button 1 + vtol for landing gear.
- act. button 2 +vtol for turrets!
- act. button 3 for the 2 500lbs bombs below the wings.
a little history!
The Messerschmitt Me 410 Hornisse ("Hornet") was a German heavy fighter and Schnellbomber used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. Though essentially a straightforward modification of the Me 210, it was designated the Me 410 to avoid association with its notoriously flawed predecessor.
Development of the Me 210 had been under way since 1939 but the aircraft proved extremely unstable and was never considered for full-scale production. Modifications to the layout produced the Me 210C and 210D, which proved somewhat superior. As studies progressed on the Me 210D, and with a separate parallel attempt to improve upon the 210 with the Messerschmitt Me 310 in the second half of 1943 — which provided almost no aerodynamic improvement over the 210's risky handling qualities — it was instead decided to introduce a "new" model, the Me 410.
Thanks to @Seeras for the red wing guns,
@Rhysbrown for the white wing guns on the nose
@AGDynamics for his alphabet
and @Deusalgor for the guns on the turret

@TheXDimension32 thanks man :) sure! go ahead.
Beautiful plane. May I use the landing gear on my own n me 410?
@ChaMikey thanks! comment when it's done.
@TheBroadside sure thing man
can you make one with a BK5 on it?
Good job. I like this
@MisterMasada ah! right, thank you!
@ChaMikey The user interface, the compass, speedo, etc.
@MisterMasada err whats a UI lol, sorry for my lack of knowledge :p
@ChaMikey What I was going to say (sorry for being late) is that F9 on PC turns off the UI for screenshots, so you could retake your profile pic without the UI
@MisterMasada yep, it has dual function, i.e : F12 is to raise volume up, but press Fn + F12 to take screenshot in steam, and again, thank you :)
@ChaMikey No problem, it's a nice plane, also, I just found this the other day, but does OSX have an equivalent of the F1-F12 keys?
@MisterMasada thanks man!
@Waemoth thanks bud!
@EternalDarkness @aseder @Toymaker @Himynameiswalrus @semihunal thanks guys!
nice
@Seeras oooh yes please! make it look discreet, sleek grin
@ChaMikey
Hehe. ^^
Maybe..
i have a awesome side with many prototype planes off all nations.
if you want, i can send you a link on a hidden place. =D
@Seeras thats awesome, I'm beginning to think you work on a top secret lab filled with experimental projects to create your planes lol. whispers can you lend me some blueprints?
@ChaMikey
It was a turbojets project.
it's not really well known.
@Seeras thank you :D and wow, that looks awesome! I've never seen that one before, a pulse-jet i assume?
One of my fav ww2 planes.
Really nice.
I'm already on my entry. =)
@realluochen9999 and thank you :D
@dzulfikar thanks dudee
@Liquidfox why thank you :)
