The Bell P-63 Kingcobra is an American fighter aircraft developed by Bell Aircraft during World War II. Based on the preceding Bell P-39 Airacobra, the P-63's design incorporated suggestions from P-39 pilots and was superior to its predecessor in virtually all respects. The P-63 was not accepted for combat use by the United States Army Air Forces. However, it was deployed during World War II by the Soviet Air Force,[2] which had also been the most prolific user of the P-39. (Wikipedia)

On American aircraft quite decent but Japanese aircraft are a rarity
Thanks for the comments and upvotes!
This is awesome! You made a lovely machine. Did you know there was a version of this plane with a ton of extra armour so that bomber gunners could practice shooting at real flying aircraft
This is a good build! Lots of potential, only constructive criticism I have is accuracy, to be honest I thought this was a P-75, but it looks real nice, Well done
