Heinkel He 177 w Guided Bombs 1.3 by Uncle

FOR VERSION 1.3!
My take on theGerman long distance bomber Heinkel 177 Greif (Griffin).

It's an approximation and in no way a 1:1 replica.

The seating arrangement is also a bit off in some instances since Bob is a big not so bendy boy. This version has a crew of seven as I added one operator for the guided bombs just behind the pilot.

This version carries three of the Hs 293 guided rocket propelled bombs instead of regular bombs.

I wanted to differentiate the front and aft auto-cannons from the regular machine guns so used the bigger gun. Sadly they take a lot of space in an already small fuselage, so the auto-cannons are a bit wonky clipping through other parts but they work reasonably well. The front facing machine gun in the canopy I moved to the side to get it to work better without clipping issues.

Note! I had to make the landing gear slightly longer to avoid the centre bomb from almost dragging on the ground, but I still recommend a very flat surface for take off and landing with the bomb.

Feel free to edit as you choose, but if you re-upoad it please acknowledge the original creation and creator!

Have fun!
