La Noma Sloonie Mk.I

405 YeastBoi  4.6 years ago

Dubbed the most useful airplane of its time, the La Noma Sloonie was a long range multirole airplane that was first introduced as a light bomber carrying two 250 lb bombs. Its versatile frame and excellent flight characteristics allowed it to perform every role an air force could throw at it, including day and night fighting, maritime strikes, reconnaissance, cargo and utility flying, and research and development.

The sample here is dressed in Canarvian Assault Stripes (discount D-Day stripes, basically).

Note: When dropping the bombs, you might want to dive to avoid the bombs getting caught in the bomb bay.

VTOL slider - bomb bay door control. Neutral position is closed. Bottom position is open. Top position is self-destruction.

7 - navigation lights

The Sloonie Mk.I is based on my original Model 100, just with a shorter wingspan, a near-flush bay door, and the WWII engines. The Model 100 itself was influenced by the de Havilland Mosquito, right down to the cockpit shape.
