Title: New model inspired by WW2

A knock off of a WW2 bomber, may be the B-38 Liberator, but I'm not sure.

The red thing is 2 meters tall, about 6 feet and is just for refernce. The bomber is 50.6 meters from wingtip to wingtip and 39.2 meters from nose to tail, excluding the front and back turrets. The bomber has 10 turrets altogether. 1 beam, 1 flak (maybe not totally sure yet), and the rest are regular laser or ballistic turrets.

Your C&C's please.

Way, way too terrestrial. It looks like you took a WWII bomber and slapped some FS turrets on it. Keep the inspiration, but move away from aerodynamics; you don't need something that can actually fly. Look at the Athena as an example of a bomber with wings and a tail that still looks good in space.

Nice enough model, but the only reason for wings that size is if you're going to have cruise missiles mounted on them. Otherwise, no point.

cut the wings off after the engines, maybe some vertical things on the ends of the remaining stubs, shorten the tail, make the tail look like a seperate chunck
