【About the real machine】

The center fuselage was equipped with only the cockpit and armed arms, and the layout of the engine and exhaust turbines on the left and right fuselages was a secret to minimize the disadvantages of the twin engine and to make full use of its advantages.
As a dual-engine aircraft during World War II, the extremely compact airframe offers great speed and mobility, as well as great loading and navigation capabilities.
