Drop Boom 50 - Drop Mk. 17 Nuclear bomb

The Convair YB-36C Peacemaker is a stranger, unbuilt version the largest combat aircraft ever constructed. It was powered by 6 radial tractor engines rather than pushers. The maximum weight of the B-36 was 410,000lbs, with an empty weight of 166,000lbs. My B-36 is roughly 240,000lbs, since the range of weight is huge. The bombs on this version are two 1:1 scale Mk. 17 nuclear bombs. Feel free to use them on your other builds if you'd like. I have posted it as a sub assembly by itself.






You may be wondering, "Where are the turrets?"

To help mobile players to have an actual chance of flying this beast, I decided to omit the dorsal turrets. In real life, all production B-36s were converted to "Featherweights", and the turrets were removed.
