Auto Credit Based on dINE's PB-25 Killer Whale

Hello, it has been a while since i post an actual build! :) Now, some of you may know the fellow jimbowyrick1 on DeviantArt. His work has been a source of inspiration for builds here and there. Here’s an old design that caught my attention. As always, it started with simple shapes, but I got carried away and found myself building far deeper than I intended. The background story for his WHIF, as we call it, can be found in his post . Perhaps, for the sake of immersion in the story, that was the reason I devoted myself to building a proper cockpit.

Credits for the base of the build go to Spark1645’s B-25H, which can be found in this first build’s predecessor. Credit for the decals goes to SP Label Converter Ver. 2.2 created by PlanariaLab .

Happy travels/Have a safe flight!
