WW1 Medium Bomber

[Azimech]

Something I wanted to do for a long time.

Crew of seven:

• Pilot
• Co-Pilot/Air Mechanic
• Navigator
• Bombardier
• Nose Gunner
• High Tail Gunner
• Low Tail Gunner

Use "Take Command" mod to instantly place crew in their seats.

Love the guns, that is a neat idea for those drills too!....... I haven't tried using struts for framework yet, never had design that called for it, not even sure how it's done. Nice build!

pTrevTrevs would love this.

 

This is great! Reminds me somewhat of a Vickers Vimy.

I have used it a few times before. You need the no offset limit mod. Then you just offset the placed end of the strut. You can in fact also strut to strut ends so its possible to make any shape you want with them.

Indeed I do! I've been wanting to build a Gotha or a Handley Page 0/400 for some time now, but I haven't been able to get a good looking fuselage. Those flat radiator panels in 1.0.5 do look like they will work though, maybe I'll give it another try.

Ever since 1.0.5, I've been obsessed with building boats and submarines, it's time to return to my roots...

Wow, that is a truly graceful bird! Is it just from your imagination, or is it based on any plane from that time?

Heck yea!  That's so awesome!  I love that strut structure.

Dude, that's awesome! There needs to be a tutorial on the strut-work, for future use...

Because that's too awesome without a tutorial!

It's a mashup, I just looked at what was fashionable around 1915.

Cheers MRS. Astrofox, welcome to the revolution!

I see this strut girder technique being used to build a Blériot Monoplane! Too bad my computer is out of commission again...

Nobody steal this from me, I'm the Vintage Plane Addict around here, not anybody else!
