Auto Credit Based on EpicPigster1's p43 wip
Literally, this was one of the most fun builds I have done in a while. Wasn't planning on releasing it, but heck, why not right? Built from scratch, as the fuselage from my P-47 just doesn't do the trick.
Basically the P-47's little brother. Quite maneuverable for it's time (1940) and fast compared to other fighters like the Zero or F4F. Painted in a mid 1943 camo, in Kunming, China.

Have fun! This thing is amazing to dogfight in. Has 4 .50 cals, and VTOL for flaps.

Oh my god this is the first P-43 I've seen thats even halfway decent
Where is the spitfire!

@AstonMartin145 Stuff takes time to create. I have a shortlist of possible projects. The Hellcat is being produced. The Spitfire is about 7th.
Where's da spitfire?
@EpicPigster1 duunno
@EpicPigster1 dangit.
According to wikipedia, they weren't actually planning on building P-43s but they ended up building 272 of them
@EpicPigster1 no problem mate
@phanps thanks man
@JoddyFubuki788 It will most likely lose lol
Cool
I'll try dogfight an Ki-84 against this one!
Np! @EpicPigster1
@jamesPLANESii Thanks man! I'll know that for next time!
@Razor3278 Well, it was ordered into production by the US military to keep Republic's factory rolling in anticipation of the P-47. About 272 were built @BroAeronautics
Nice! The cockpit is a little tall..
@BroAeronautics yep, this is real. This is one of Republic's aircraft that didn't go into full production.
Did this actually exist?
@Dllama4 :D
