Overview

This aircraft is more akin to the BF109 figure.
It is also equipped with an altimeter, which was not fitted, and can be flown with the UI turned off.

armed

The armaments themselves have not evolved significantly.
There are a total of four machine guns and one motor cannon.
The motor cannon has a 50-round magazine, and in my conception it was intended for anti-aircraft use, but it seems to have no hit detection, so it should basically be used for anti-ground and anti-ship use.

cockpit

The camera attached to the cockpit is synchronised with the sighting device and reproduces a slight oscillation of the viewpoint as the aircraft makes turning and climbing motions.
The instruments are symmetrically arranged, so that even if one of them breaks, the structure is safe.

Airframe structure

The inside is essentially hollow, which reduces the stress a little when editing the aircraft.
Furthermore, by compartmentalising the fuselage, it was possible to create a sense of unity when painting, and to create a realistic fuselage structure and shape.
