Me 323 Gigant. When I built this model I thought you could only have four propellers that worked, I have since learned that you can model more - the air file only supports four so the extra ones start at the same time as the one they're copied from. This new model folder replaces the original one so now you will see all six working propellers.
Very large transport aircraft developed from the Me 321 glider. With the fall of France the Germans found themselves in possession of a large number of Gnome-Rhone aero engines and these they put to use in a variety of ways, one of which was to add six (initially four) engines to the Me 321 glider and call it the Me 323. While this a/c had very large capacity it was very slow and vulnerable. Used mainly in the MTO it performed well but on at least once occasion a large flight of Me 323s were annihilated by Allied fighters while flying from Tunisia to Sicily.
