In-progress bomber model. Role is attacking capital ships that have heavy point defense, so it would close in to point-blank range and strafe turrets, thereby avoiding being a target for the entire ship's guns.
The idea is to have two turrets just aft of the cockpits, but I'm having a bit of difficulty in figuring out how to mount them w/o looking silly. Original thought was to have a cylindrical multipart turret embedded in the hull, but that seems highly impractical now that I am at this stage. Thoughts/advice on how to model the turrets and area around them world be greatly appreciated.
Whups! Put up wrong picture previously, these are the right ones.

Nice one! Seems to be pretty much in same state as my bomber :p

Looks like a sea turtle, which isn't an altogether bad thing, I rather like it. Now...what about turning it into a beam bomber. With the two rear turrets being weak beams? Then all you need are beam ports. Something like a weak AAAf, but used for taking out turrets. It could also double as defense against fighters. I'd counter balance this by giving it a long fire wait. Couple this with a decent payload, and you have a bomber that is a threat to any ship.
