Auto Credit Based on MaximusTheMinimus's B-43 disarmed

Bomber/Attack plane used at the end of WW2 and during the Korean War.
~Completely Fictional design.

well, here it is!
Features:
~Jets AND props
~Arsenal of 8x Boom 25s, 2x integral rocket pods, 2x Boom 50s
~Waist and Tail gunners
~Rocket assistance for takeoffs

Controls:
AG 1 = turn on all engines
AG 2 = jettison rockets ( takeoff assistants )
Ag 3 = activate guns ( gunners )

Notes:
It will drag to the right on takeoff, the Navigator is kinda fond of blueberry muffins. ( Actually, I was careless and accidentally off-centered the fuselage. )

The name "Nightfall" was used on one of my old bombers from a REALLY long time ago, hence the 'II' in the name. Fun fact: the Nightfall was my first plane with custom gear; it just sucked though.

Thanks to @phanps for suggestions and help here and there.
@EpicPigster1 wanted me to do a fighter/attacker, it led to this.

Original Nightfall, be warned, it's total crap.

    1. Needs more cockpit frames

    2. Good job with the wingtips, however you used fuselage cones.

    3. You could have covered the jets with custom nacelles so it looks good.

    What do you mean 'off-centered the fuselage'? Did you nudge it too far?
