League of Socialist Revolutionaries Heavy Bomber
Intended to replace the (very) obsolete Redoubt H.B., the Barbican, named for the gatehouse towers of a walled city , hopes to continue in the proud tradition of bombarding helpless civilians within those cities.

@Andragalang
Best I could do on something like this is 500, since there's a LOT going on.
Plisss fo low part
@Tookan
Huh! Looks like I need to make the "manual" a bit clearer and improve the cockpit a bit.
Oh wow, Frantic from YouTube was using this :)

Thicc boi
@Brencool35
Thanks!
.
Hidden in the fuselage is a weight/piston apparatus that keeps the center of mass in place when the 3K lbs payload is dropped. Not quite the same feel/performance as before, but it helps!
wow I really love the way this thing flies! Genuinely a blast!
I love this ship- all it needs is trim and flaps (for fun.)
@Something5353 @jselbach @Treadmill103
Thanks!
This is one of the most fun things I’ve ever flown.
Amazing!
@ThomasRoderick Thanks! I had a working FT powered sight, but eventually it ran into too many issues.
.
I originally was going to have the gear located in two forward "blisters", but I was getting irritated by issues involved and amount of time it was taking me to build, so this is what I ended up with. I may eventually change it back though.
Would probably be a pain to land given the placement of the gears, but the general shape is good. Also, the bomb sight is SICK! In general, a textbook example of good dieselpunk design.
Chonk! I love it
@Type2volkswagen
Heh, so it was. My mistake!
I misread notifications all the time.
