Alternate Universe F6F Hellcat

1,470 soren37  5.0 years ago

This project is by far my most detailed, tedious, and complex project to date. This aircraft is a 3D replica of a drawing made by @arielalvarezart on Instagram. He titled it an "Alternate Universe Hellcat," and drew alternate universe versions of many other aircraft of that time, such as a Zero, a Spitfire, A BF-109, etc. I made it to prove it could fly, and it can, quite well! Elevator authority is not the best, nor does it have landing gear, for the original drawin showed none. You have to spawn it in on final to an airport, although it is possible to take off from a runway that drops off at the end. It is also possible to land it, at 80% power, touch down the tail and then cut power. The nose lightly touches down and it slows rapidly. It hits speeds of up to 800 mph, but cruise speed is around 680. I have also installed a gun camera, in the nose. It has one torpedo in an internal bay. Enjoy!
