Henschel Hs-129 B-3 Duck

The Henschel Hs 129 was a World War II ground-attack aircraft fielded by the German Luftwaffe.

The design was relatively effective when it was first introduced, and saw service on the Eastern Front in a variety of front-line roles. As the war continued and anti-tank support became the main goal, the aircraft was continually up-gunned, eventually mounting a 75 mm gun in the anti-tank role that left the plane barely flyable. Only a small number of these B-3 models were produced, late in the war.

The Hs 129 was designed around a single large "bathtub" of steel sheeting that made up the entire nose area of the plane, completely enclosing the pilot up to head level. Even the canopy was steel, with only tiny windows on the side to see out of and two angled blocks of glass for the windscreen. In order to improve the armor's ability to deflect bullets, the fuselage sides were angled in forming a triangular shape, resulting in almost no room to move at shoulder level. There was so little room in the cockpit that the instrument panel ended up under the nose below the windscreen where it was almost invisible; some of the engine instruments were moved outside onto the engine nacelles' inboard-facing surfaces and the gunsight was mounted outside on the nose. - Wiki


Was playing War Thunder and noticed the Hs129's shape would transfer well to Stormworks so I decided to build one!

I love how this flies and I hope you all do as well.
Comes with a loud BK "Cannon" to annoy the everliving **** out of your friends!

Controls are straight forward and labeled in the hints. (Press H)

Important: Non-joystick users, press arrow icon near eraser tool to enable logic view mode, select pilot seat, go to axis 4 and change from reset to sticky. This will alleviate the need to hold your throttle button down.

Update Log:

Added small green flare x1 to cannon fire toggle, Engine cowl hatches
