Focke-Wulf TA.462 ''Gefährliche Bogenschütze (Dangerous Archer)''
Another aircraft to join my fictional X-plane collection, this newest addition is quite fun! Featuring four (fictional) Jumo EF2652 Turbojet engines. The top, bottom, and waist turrets are all remote-controlled. Unlike most German X-planes for the time, the tail-gunner position is manually controlled. The defensive armament is six 20mm cannons and the offensive armament is four 30mm cannons. This long-range heavy bomber has an internal load of either one 4,000 lbs. bomb, two 2,000 lbs. bombs, or four 1,000 lbs. bombs. It has a crew of four; Pilot, Navigator/Bombardier, and two Gunners. It has a top speed of close to 700 miles per hour. If this plane had actually existed, it would have most likely been apart of the German's "Amerika Bomber" initiative. Enjoy!

No problem!
@FighterCrafter14 Thank you, looks good!
I uploaded a simpler way. Just place the sheet on your fuselage that covers the wing@RABpilot
@Wahoo12 yup, that makes sense. Thank you!
Lol yeah. Just take a flat fuselage block, put the first wing on it, put the second one on it so that it is a two tone wing, put another fuselage block through both wings to hold them together, put a cockpit on the second fuselage, take off the first one, take off the cockpit, move the wings where you wan them, and remove the second fuselage. Hope that made sense... @RABpilot
Alright, thanks for telling me @Wahoo12
You can do the two tone WINGS without XML modding. Theyre just a pain to make. @RABpilot
@FighterCrafter14 sounds fun
I have a part I use but it is a pain to use@RABpilot
@FighterCrafter14 same, I haven't been able to figure that out yet
I just need to do it with the wings on my aircraft @RABpilot
Thanks, I based it off of @Martijnproper's designs. Check them out, they're really good planes. @FighterCrafter14
Ok. Also good job on having a different color for the bottom than on the top@RABpilot
Thank you @Madlycat
I think I'll be fine, but thank you for the offer @FighterCrafter14
I can conceal the intakes for you if you want or you can use one of my engines@RABpilot
@FlOu thank you!
This is a beautiful bomber. Nice job man
@Martijnproper pun...grammar NAZI
@RABpilot : and I apologize for any nagging; I'm a grammar nazi. Check luft46.com if you haven't seen it! If you have, maybe this Lippisch http://www.luft46.com/lippisch/lip13a.html or a Fw Ta400.
@Martijnproper thank you for telling me this. I'll keep it in mind for the next plane I make. And a question: What German X-Plane should I base my next project off of?
Germans tend to name military stuff after predatory animals, though... Looks nice, I'll fly it later. And comment on that ;)
