A report of my standard heavy bomber, now alot safer than the last ones since the bombs will not go off unless dropped on target. 1-6 to deploy the bombs and VTOL is a trim tab for the elevator. Enjoy!

@TheOwlAce Oh! I thought that the nose, tail, waist and dorsal glazing was just for observation/lookout while the ventral glazings were for bomb aiming and target impact, I figured if you had bombs the guns would be natural too, My mistake!! >.< I made a derivative design, I hope you don't mind, just my interpretation of the Fw-668 with revised ordinance, defensive guns and a modded gun in the forward ventral glazing to act as an anti-shipping/infrastructure/transportation cannon. (It's a bridgekiller.)
@dilisvarskvlavi Well first of all, the nose, sides, near top and bottom and tail do have turret. All the blue spots are where turrets would be. And the reason most of my plains are painted grey is for camo in the clouds. And to tell friend from foe from the enemy aircraft that I have posted.
@TheOwlAce I fell in love with building multi-engine military aircraft models early on. The higher the number of engines the better - preferably propeller driven! This build puts me in the mind of the aborted Ju-390 project, I think it was. Anyway, naturally this was my first time trying out one of your' builds.
I was honestly impressed! She's much lighter than one would expect and that is one scary bombload she slings around! NOW if we could get a proper bomb aiming device we'd be set! I tried to take out the bridge by Bandit Airport by dropping volleys in short intervals but still managed to miss it - from 10 angels though its to be expected without a bomb sight. The maneuverability is impressive for an aircraft of this size and that trim at the tail is a sheer stroke of genius. When I start making larger builds I may have to incorporate this feature because a lot of my birds LOVE to climb and I'm always fighting with them to come down out of the clouds. lol That said, why didn't you include any defensive armament? It could go a long way towards protecting her from "the enemy." With a fuselage this size you might also have been able to integrate a working bomb bay or a detailed cockpit but those are hardly necessary. I'm hardly one to talk but the canopy arrangement gives it an odd look. Have you considered burying the canopy and putting a nice broad canopy in its place for asthetics? Either a nose cone or I think the three piece canopy could suit her as well! Just a though!
Why not create a unique insignia for each the allies and the enemy? Roundels and block pieces that are 0.3 thick are perfect as they show up on both sides of any wing surface. (Doesn't work as well when you add dihedral.)
The last suggestion is to perhaps vary your' colors a bit. All grey is great and all, but use multiple shades - perhaps as a means to break up the object's shape from a distance. Unit insignia or even a tricolor tail could even work to spruce it up. Anyway, time to get some rest. I've subscribed to you now, and will be testing more designs tomorrow - er - later today. ^_^
@HakkeAirTech thank you
Wow, this thing turns better than some of the fighters I've made. Nice.
