Same.@DJS8Corporations
I don't understand why people could scrap these beautiful pieces of art, but I really wish all aircraft's could be saved and preserved. ☺😀
Nice B-36
@ThomasRoderick Essentially yes, I plan on having a full history of this AU soon.
Soooo... In this AU, WWII is caused by the revolution in Russia of that universe? Also, I assume that revolution happened 20 years later than in real-life?
Bruh you could have at least used the aerofoil I used on this plane. Uses just 1 part for the curve shape and has the wing for the back.
@jamesPLANESii yes, I also see what you were asking now, It was getting to the point it was starting to lag out my computer while making this plane so I had to cut corners sadly.
Do you know what an aerofoil looks like? @LegnaK
@jamesPLANESii what do you mean by that?
Why are the wings so square
Looks good bud
It remember a Peacemaker
We’re reaching levels of Thicc that shouldn’t even be possible
@LegnaK but i looks quite similar
@QuickNils Definitely not lol engine placement is all wrong, three tails and only three measly bomb bays.
totally not a b 36 peacemaker XD
Oh yeah this is happening
Looks like B-36, but the jet engine put in the inner wing not the outer wing
