General info (wiki)
The Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster was an experimental bomber aircraft, designed for a high top speed. The unconventional approach was to mount the two engines within the fuselage driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers mounted at the tail in a pusher configuration, leaving the wing and fuselage clean and free of drag-inducing protrusions.
Two prototype aircraft were built, but the end of World War II changed priorities and the advent of the jet engine gave an alternative way toward achieving high speed.
Controls
AG1 = flaps (down by default)
AG2 = 1 button bombing, opens bomb bay doors and drops the bombs all on one button press
AG3 = undercarriage bay doors (open by default)
AG7 = enable rear facing guns (use with AG8), pitch and roll inputs
AG8 = disable forward guns, ailerons and elevators to enable AG7 control inputs
LandingGear button = landing gear (bet that shocked you)
Trim = trim on elevator (including trim flaps) you will need to trim based on speed and load i.e. if you still have bombs or not
Rambo addons
Real one was all silver.... boring. So i did this one based largely on a B-26 Marauder scheme / build. Added camo, 4 cannons on side of fuselage (real one has 2 forward facing MGs), designation and fin stripe, aerial.
Rambo deductions (well i tried)
Rest of main gear retraction method including forward slanted legs and folding bay door, just too bothersome for what it was worth.
Rambo comments
97% accurate from 3 view drawings (cockpit is a bit low etc), how accurate the drawings are no one knows, I tried, no doubt there are some bits ive missed (sorry) or havnt got right (sorry again), the flight model probably doesnt match (sorry?) but it works for what I wanted.

@RamboJutter I've been doing research on the cockpit interior and I was not expecting what it looks like inside
@Skykid028 Help yourself, im pretty sure this was made prior to hollow fuselage pieces and such like being in the game.
It's going to take me some time but I would love to remaster this
@Leviatham you need to upload them to something like discord, right click on the image and copy the link, then put 
Sorry to bother you about 2652523 instead. but how do I put the game images in the description of my plane? just like you did in the post of this plane ... (which is incredible: D)
@RamboJutter owh okay
@BLOODIUS no idea, maybe i just got lucky or it might be to do with the background colour?
@RamboJutter most of all creation has blur thumbnail,but your thumbnail is not blur,how?
@BLOODIUS what do you mean? The 3 that you take when posting or the others I have dropped into the text?
@RamboJutter how to make thumbnail picture so realistic?
Neat choice of plane
To Look at, I haven’t flown it yet @RamboJutter
@belugasub thanks :) smooth to look at or smooth to fly?
awesome once again!
@Briancat24 Nope, sorry.
Any planes to make one with less parts ?
its so... smooth
@RamboJutter I have a complete magazine about this plane but it's only in french
oh @RamboJutter
@RamboJutter thank you!
@WarHawk95 ah K, I've tried detachers on props before and it caused havoc, I'm sure I could do it now but it was a nightmare in the past. Tbf there was v little info available on this plane, I'm assuming because only 2 where built in this configuration.
@RamboJutter I mean on the real Mixmaster, there was kind of a detached between the fuselage and the propeller, so the pilots weren't cut in a thousand bits when they try to evacuate the plane
@mikoyanster @spiritusraptor thanks for the spotlights
@Tang0five @8bitgamer33 @ChiChiWerx thanks guys, it took a lot of time and effort and more than a ww2 choice curses when the game stuck things together for no apparent reason... :)
@WarHawk95 I did mention that in the text. And what's the point of an ejection system on a build without a detailed cockpit? I put as much detail in as I thought was appropriate for my liking.
