Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have had to make some slight revisions to the planned drawing of the Project 221 light bomber aircraft. It is not exacty what I would like, but I think it looks servicable.

Your comments and feedback are welcome.

Looks good. A tall and thin fuselage like the HP Hampden?

What sort of armament were you thinking of? I'd think an MG on a ball mounting in the rear cockpit and a fixed forward firing MG would be appropriate as a minimum.

I suppose it does look rather like a Hampden; or a cross between a Dornier Flying Pencil and a DH Mosquito.

I haven't yet settled on final armament outfit - I was envisioning some sort of rear-firing MG, a flexible MG in the bomb-aimers station and perhaps a fixed forward firing gun. Alternatively, I suppose an attack variant could dispense with the bomb aimer and go for a solid nose with a heavy cannon and MG armament.

Thanks!

The main differences are, I thought it looked a little drab just being an uncolored drawing, and I thought you might find it convenient if it was drawn in the same scale as the Soko Jastreb (assuming they use the same engine). It's also easier to add detail at this scale too (at least for me). The canopy looked a little confused, so I fixed that with an option for a rear gunner. I can easily add space for a ventral gunner without spoiling the engineering at all, but I don't think a plane of this mission requires one. Overall, it's actually a well-thought-out plane from a strictly aero-engineering perspective.
