Junkers Ju-390 Amerika Bomber series

5,062 Adelweis  1.7 years ago

Dogfight version: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/fjK10C/Junkers-Ju-390-AI-version

Took a long time for me to make this, i even make this while time off (What is that time when it's time for rest called?) Lol. Didn't expect this to have 233 part.

Highly detail: logo, cockpit window, Machine Gun (yeah i find a information about MG-131 and MG-151), speed.

This is actually a bomber. German make a Amerika Bomber Project, 5 company give it's bomber design including Junkers with this. Junkers lose, but the Kriegsmarine interested with Ju-390.

2 variants are build, 1 a Transport Plane and second a Reconnaissance Plane. The Bomber Variant never built.

Wikipedia source:The Junkers Ju 390 was a German long-range derivative of the Junkers Ju 290 aircraft, intended to be used as a heavy transport aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft and long-range bomber. It was one of the aircraft designs submitted for the abortive Amerika Bomber project, along with the Messerschmitt Me 264, the Focke-Wulf Ta 400 and the Heinkel He 277.

And because the Bomber Variants never built and there's no picture about it or even a sketch, i can't built it because i don't know how the Bomb Bay looks like and how big.

Instead, i make the one who have a gunner so it's still fun and feels like a Military aircraft instead just a boring slow flying thing.

I tried my best to make it looks like the real one, please give Critics and Suggest.

"Why all the Gunner faced to the front?"
"Because it won't function as it should be if it's facing to the back."

My first plane first plane with that cockpit window.

Some picture i found:

Abandoned Ju-390

1 × 20 mm MG 151/20 in tail
2 × 13 mm (.51 in) MG 131 machine guns at waist
2 × 13 mm (.51 in) MG 131s in gondola
Proposed fitment of a pair of 4 x MG 131 Hecklafette HL 131V quadmount manned turrets, one in tail and one in nose."

Why the hell with this description lol, it's paragraph position felt so wrong and it's feels so messy lol
