@asteroidbook345 that's where some of my inspiration came from
Thx @CrazyCodeC
Here's your score:
Armament: 8/10
The combination of machine guns, and 1000 pounds of bombs is terrific for an American fighter built in 1942, compared to other, typically obsolete fighters at this time.
Handling: 5/10
Speed is excellent, but turning time and stability are not to be reckoned with. It has the ability to take off from a carrier, which gives you some points as well, considering its a naval fighter.
Period accuracy:4/5
Its performance matches up with most other American planes of this time, but its speed is a little bit absurd compared to technology that they had at the time.
General appearance: 4/5
It looks very nice, albeit slightly blunt and a little too compact.
Total score: 21/30 or 70%
Good job!
