Junkers JU-87 Stuka

557 UPTOSPACE345  3.6 years ago

A rough recreation of a well known dive bomber, used by the Luftwaffe extensively throughout the atlantic theatre. The aircraft has an intriguing gull winged design, and a destinctive shape. My varient is a little less detailed than what you may be used to from the simpleplanes comunity, but I like to make aircraft of light detail but an accurate shape. Keep in kind, it doesn't fly amazing, but it does take off, it does fly, and it might even land if you're good at flying. On a last note, the wing mounts aren't mine. They were on a Corssair downloaded.

UPDATE: Fixed a rather serious issue related to the port wheel falling of as soon as it spawns. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/0NZ567/Junkers-JU-87-Stuka-Fixed

UPDATE 2: Posted my final version. Bombs work better, and it has some extra weapons to save as sub-assemblies.

    I will get on that now. Thanks!

    Edit: I'm still a greenhorn, so I am not totally sure how to update a build.
