Part Efficient Aircrafts!

Man... it's been how long? Point being, PEA B-26 Maruader!


Been wanting to do one since the B-25J, but I've postponed the B-26 because I thought the canopy would be REALLY hard to make...

But it wasn't lol, easiest part of the entire build.


So, there's a bit to say about this Marauder. For one, I had to sacrifice the waist and tail gunners along with the bombs. The features make up for this though.
Like my Gold special, its front guns will cleave down just about everything. But I wanna talk about the turret. I finally realized the issue with my camera-aim turrets, and fixed it on this here B-26. Sure enough, we finally have a 100% working TUPL-built camera turret! Now I just gotta fix Shrike and Invader :v


Above: An Me 262- not Rogue, study the wings, engines, paint, and canopy if you don't believe me- shot down by the B-26's new turret.

PEA Lore:

The B-26 is one of the most feared medium bombers in the PEAverse, featuring devastating armaments along with decent armor and agility. Furthermore, the B-26s in this universe don't steer off the runway, the Marauder instead earning the nickname "Widowmaker" because it had an unusually high air-to-air kill count for a bomber.

Due to this, they stayed active much longer, being used in combat until the end of the Korean War. For this reason, the Invader was much more commonly known as the A-26, as the Marauder's enduring presence kept the B-26 nametag to itself.


Epic shot
