I would appreciate an upvote or a comment, this plane has been sitting in my hangar since Halloween.... Yeah.... Many months of me starting at it and wishing it finished building itself went into this build that had a total build time of 2 weeks spread out (the whole two weeks 24/7)

Controls:
Activator 1+VTOL down = bomb bay doors
Activator 2+VTOL=Rear turret
Activator 3+VTOL=Middle turret (be careful you can shoot the tail off)
Activator 4+VTOL=Front Turret

Explanation for stealth & cargo tags:

The short Stirling was retired from bomber command service in 1943 as it suffered heavy losses due to its lower than average max ceiling, it was then used to drop spies, propaganda leaflets, supplies and other secret missions over enemy territory, it was used to transport cargo from 1943-1946 due to its enormous size,
And it also was used for glider towing, target towing, parachute jumping and flare dropping.



Its creation was rather comical, the RAF asked for a four engined monoplane heavy bomber that could Carry modern bombs to Berlin and return safely home, other companies also made bombers to this specification, namely the AVRO Lancaster and the handley page Halifax, the Stirling was the least remebered of the three and no complete Stirling survives to this day.
Anyway, the RAF specifically asked for a bomber with a wingspan of less than 100ft. As the biggest hangars at the time had 100ft wide doors, the Stirling prototype was too big, so the wing was thickened and the span reduced to a ludicrously funny 99ft 9 inches everything about the plane was huge, the bomb bay was almost 50ft long the wheels stood taller than 7ft and the climb into the plane as most crews recall, was more terrifying than being shot at!

No matter how many guns were pointed at them crews usualy felt safe in the gigantic behemoth and many Stirlings came home with hardly anything left inside and outside of them, the survivability could rival the early B17's!

The huge beast was a heavy lump on the ground but... Once in the air it gained the manouverability of a fight, and was often reported to evade German Bf110 night fighters, it played an important role early in the war but soon it's low service ceiling led to many stirlings being shot down by flak and the more modern halifaxes and lancasters took over, however the Stirling still found a life and served up untill 1946 with the RAF and served in some places into the 1950's.

Overall it was regarded as a faliure compared to the Halifax and Lancaster, but it was loved by crews and anyone who filed it, knew that it was a special plane, a Lancaster pilot once said after he flew a Stirling that he found it much easier to fly and said he never felt the gigantic weight of the Stirling when he was pulling off moves that spitfires should be performing.

In my eyes it was better than most early bombers, prehaps the best.
But unfortunately nog stirlings survive.

Enjoy!
