Zephyr (Peruvian)

10.3k TurtlesThatFly  3.7 years ago

The Zephyr, having proved to be a versatile and rugged aircraft, caught the interest of some nations for use in their fledging air forces. One such country was Peru, who needed a utility/bomber aircraft that could be easy to maintain and was modern (at the time). The planes were refitted with American engines and were used in ferrying cargo throughout Peru and in bombing operations against Ecuador during their border conflict.

Making something big, so I decided to upload this in the meantime. It's the Zephyr, but more powerful, and equipped with the cannon-based bomb system I somehow discovered (not the first time someone has made one I think). Really, it's just a more powerful, recolored, and strangely equipped Zephyr. The "bombs" are quite fun to use.

AG1 for turret activation, VTOL to rotate it.
