A large target drone developed out a heavy bomber and a number of parts sitting around. It was used to test out new guided missiles, practice with AA weapons, and in other experimental and practice situations where a large and expendable plane was needed to act as a subject or target. Many who used it in it’s mostly intended purpose often described it to be “very, very fun to shoot down”.

This is the first request aircraft I have ever built. I was told to make a giant target drone that’s something like the QB-17, so I answered with this. I tried some new things like the more complex framed nose and the custom gear. I love flying this plane normally and I think I will make a normal bomber version of this someday (just have to figure out circular bomb bays!). Anyways, enjoy shooting one of these giant flying cigars down, or flying it, I guess. (Dang that second screenshot is really good)
