Ilyushin Il-102

The Wiki:
The Ilyushin Il-102 was an experimental jet-powered ground-attack aircraft designed by Ilyushin. In 1967, the Soviet Air Forces drew up a specification for a jet-powered armored ground attack aircraft. While Sukhoi designed an all-new single seat aircraft, the Su-25, Ilyushin proposed a modified version of their Il-40 of 1953 under the designation Il-42, which, unlike the Sukhoi, was a two-seat aircraft with a remotely-controlled rear gun turret. The design was rejected by the Soviet Air Forces, but Ilyushin decided to continue development as a private venture, renaming the program Il-102.

She's armed to the teeth for all of your ground attack needs. She has eight external hard-points and three internal bombays in each wing. Currently, she is outfitted with two external fuel tanks for range (AG1 to drop), six rocket pods (AG2-4 to drop empties) and 6 "1000kg" bombs in the internal compartments (Use TRIM up to open bombays; Air to ground to release bombs), and lastly, two forward firing 30mm cannons for offense and one remote-controlled 23mm machine gun for defense (Pitch/Roll to aim turret).

I put this one together rather quickly today as I only had a small window to build, but it turned out better than I expected. She handles well, has realistic speed and flies very smooth (smoother than the Lightning, for what its worth.) As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or if there is a plane you would like to see. Thank you for stooping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!
