PLEASE READ THE NOTE SECTION BEFORE DOWNLOADING

The further development of the R-L1 that ordered by Luftwaffe (Germany Airforce) featuring an extended service range with the external fuel pod (up to 65%, vary on weather and other payload factors). Self-defense measure such as flare also installed per request. Improved Valkyur Radar System and 2 High Resolution Cameras also installed, which enabling this aircraft to serve as recon aircraft. The paint job is exclusive for the Luftwaffe, as it’s the sole operator for now. Numbering will be performed by Luftwaffe itself. The air refueling technology was deemed impossible to be installed in this frame. The ability to take-off and landing on water is the selling point of this aircraft, and kept intact.
