Description
"The Red Arrows were the best at what they did. The best, I tell you. They would dive towards the enemy from on high, revving their twin engines through the heavy flak cover to get that one shot home from their short seventy-five. Sometimes the enemy couldn't even get half of their firepower to bear on the Arrows' plane before their flying battleship went up in flames." - Second Flight Officer Horton.
Hellooo!
So, I had this idea of a plane design that I really had to draw- a twin-engine attack aircraft/light bomber in the kind of inter-war/WWII style to it. Propellers, big engines, MG's, lots of rivets and excessive armament for such a small plane! Although, this one wouldn't really fit any actual historical period, so it's kind of a pseudo-historical thing like what if WWI had gone on for five or ten years longer or something and employed heavily armed battle-zeppelins.
In any case, the plane has an attack armament consisting of one 20mm cannon, one 75mm short-barreled cannon and a few light bombs(2x10 kg, 1x50 kg). All of these are aimed/shot/hand-cycled by the gunner lying down at the front of the plane in his little cupola. The cupola has an integrated targeting and bombing sight. Defensive armament is pretty heavy too, with one backward facing turret at the rear of the fuselage with twin 8mm MG's, and one omni-directional MG on top. The top gunner hasn't even got a cupola to sit in, so he should really hold on to his scarf! The plane also has two pretty big liquid-cooled engines to get all those bombs and cannons in the air, though I suspect the climb rate of this thing is less than stellar even when empty. It would probably slowly gain altitude and then conduct a dive attack before quickly flying away. The recoil of the 75mm would probably be significant, and it has very little ammo too- being cycled by hand it is far too slow to get more than one or two shots off before having to retreat.
That's about it for the specs... Enjoy!
I'll probably ink and color this one later.

I really like this pic, Definitley wouldn't want to be that top gunner though, I'd keep a parachute on at all times if at all possible in that position!
