B-20A Aerofortress
This fictional late WWII bomber experiment was the Frankenstein’s monster of large aircraft. By attaching part of the fuselage of a B-29 to a very large wing with a twin boom tail at the back, this bomber was able to be well defended and carry a hefty load to a target at a great distance. This bomber was initially designed for long range missions which would not be able to have a fighter escort. However, the integration of the ready made crew compartment of the B-29 proved more complex and costly than a newly built one and thus production finished after only 60 airframes were complete. These aircraft did however see service until the late 1950s when they started to be replaced by larger jet bombers.
AG1 + VTOL up: open bomb doors
AG6-8: movement of turrets
This also happens to be the build I started 6 months ago. For some reason, I just could not get myself to finish it and I ended up taking an almost half year pause in building aircraft. I decided it was time to finally complete this beast so I hope you all enjoy it as much as I finally do now :)

@Sergio666 yeah making realistic flying characteristics is what I’ve been focusing on mainly in the past couple years since I stopped posting. I made the Mystere fly exactly how the manual says it does. I think it’s possibly now the most realistic flight simulation of a Mystere IVA since the only other game that has it is war thunder and they never give aircraft real flight characteristics to balance them out. If you need some tips with realistic flight characteristics, feel free to ask :)
True, comrade, something similar happens to me, I have about 20 constructions at 80%, and it frustrates me a bit not to publish them, but we also enjoy building them, I hope to learn aerodynamics techniques, because my planes fly a little strange. Greetings comrade @Mustang51
@Sergio666 thank you very much! I’ve learnt a lot of techniques since I uploaded most of these so maybe I’ll try remaking a few. I have like 20 80% completed builds saved that maybe one day I’ll post to here again hahaha. Feels like a shame to put in all the effort and not upload them
Seriusly,All your builds looks amazing @Mustang51
@CommandPuppy2 lol I guess you don’t know how to fly then
it just spiralspretty much
@Mustang51 oh ok
@MrShenanigans yup! That’s what it’s supposed to be. It’s really just the front of the fuselage from my B-101 which is basically a jet B-29
Is that body from a b29?
@12705129 Thanks so much man! Feel free to leave an upvote since you liked it hahaha. Also when it comes to the cockpit I’m not really sure. It is quite similar to the nose of the He-111 so I can imagine some inspiration was taken from it. It is an interesting question though for sure
@Mustang51 Wow, if this existed, just wow. P.S. did we steal this cockpit design from the germans??
@VVMC here is the plane I made which then turned into the other one
@DickBrazen Well thank you very much! I mostly get inspiration from looking at real aircraft and either combining them with others or changing them to a different version (prop engines to jets or conventional wings to delta and canards). Try doing something like that and I bet you’ll be happy with the result. Also in regards to your bomber, id love to see it! Tag me in the build you’re referring to
@DickBrazen Well thank you my friend! About the drag though, I think doing that is actually the best way to get a plane to fly realistically. My most recent post had the drag fairly dramatically lowered so that the top speed could be what it realistically would be but the acceleration wouldn’t be too harsh. I’m planning on making all of my replica posts like that from now on actually. It’s a great way to replicate true flight characteristics
@Diloph also thanks for you comment! I’m glad you like it
@Diloph lol I really don’t know hahaha. I’m also surprised by it
I also sent you a discord request and accidentally responded to this comment@Mustang51
This is soo knarly bud! Also, how do you have that many followers?
Idk just seemed cool at the time
@Bityu lol what’s the point? You just get notifications on your jet stream whenever you post something or spotlight someone’s post
I just figured out that you can follow yourself.
Nice @Mustang51
@Bityu yeah I couldn’t XML mod back then but now since overload is available on iOS I’ll try to prevent that on my future bombers
That is exactly what happend!
@Bityu hahaha you probably made the bomb bay doors go up with the VTOL lever. That makes them blow the bombs up. Thanks for your comment!
