I’ve done a little building on my Ork fighter bomber . Really had a hard time getting started as all the weird and wonderful Orky bits you guys love are way out of my comfort zone . So I looked around for a real world plane that I could use as an inspiration . What I found was a single seat prop job that served in the late 50s through Viet Nam , the Douglas A-1 Skyraider . A sort of radial engine version of the jet engine tank buster , Warthog . This thing had in wing cannons and 15 under wing mounting points for bombs , rockets and gun pods . In fact this thing could carry 8000 pounds of destruction , the same load as some B-17 WW2 bombers
Here’s my Ork plane , guns are just placed in their mounts to get an idea how it could look . I also have a half dozen rockets and a couple of large bombs that might end up under the wings . As well , I could mount a twin gun turret behind the cock pit , so many choices ..
