Single-engine two-seat ground-attack and reconnaisance aircraft

About this creation

The EKW C-36 is a single-engine two-seat ground-attack and reconnaisance aircraft produced by the Swiss manufacturer Eidgenössische Konstruktionswerkstätten.
The aircraft is comparable in mission and performance to the Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik however, with a twin fin layout, allowing the rear gunner to have a better visibility range.

A fair few were built and, along with Morane-Saulnier M.S.406's, fought off trespassing Luftwaffe aircraft to defend Swiss neutrality.

Soon the aircraft would be relegated to training and target-towing duties.
The C-36 was also used as a target tug aircraft.
Many still fly to this very day.

Armament
1 × 20 mm cannon
2 × 7.5 mm machine guns fixed in the wings
2 × 7.5 mm machine guns in rear cockpit
400 kg (880 lb) of bombs

Hope you like it

Fantastic! Love the design, looks excellent! Great job of getting the plane to look very or even maybe exactly like the real thing! Nice work!

Quoting Anders T Nice plane. Is this in 2 colors with a bright one at the bottom? It seems to be... -The family ties with the sturmovik is very obvious in your design. mabe even more so than on the actual plane. Good job.

Thanks Anders T. Yes, under the plane, the color is light bluish grey. ^^ I want to build a sturmovik one day.

Quoting Achintya Prasad Looks great! I especially love the fact that since you only used Lego parts, not other "clone bricks," your MOC really shines in the light as well as look stronger! Definately worth the 5 stars!

Yes, I never use clone bricks. Clone bricks are only good for targets for the C-36. XD The only problem is that Dark green parts are always rare and very expensive. If this plane was built in white, It would have been two times cheaper to build.

Quoting Josiah Samaniego Very nice and accurate! I liked how you made a not so familiar aircraft.

Thanks. It´s a almost unknown aircraft, but very impressive.
