I admit, I looks like an extra 300. But it's not and I've tried to make it look as cool as I could. I decided to make the paint same as the older prototype so it doesn't look fully complete and fits the backstory. it's a prototype itself and it's got a little backstory(a little rp here if you don't like it skip it.). Hive corp may have sounded like a recently made company but it's history has extended all the way to the first world war. The companys bankruptcy came from this project in the 1920s called project bolt. The design however took more than 10 years to create due to inadequate engine power and lack of knowledge of drag. when the Spanish war went to its late stages, Hive Corp spy agents caught a glimpse of the prototype bf109a and were blown away. knowing that war is imminent, hive decided to serve one nation that had barely any fighters and were already under conquest, China was their goal. Then, only a week later after the bf109as appearance, hive sent more agents out to sabotage and borrow supplies from both european axis and allied parties of the war. They successfully stole air borrowed a blueprints of: a German 109a, a British engine, an Italian biplane((cr42)which was not used), a french fighter(which was also unused), an american aircraft machine gun and a russian 20mm shvak cannons. However results were not pleasing when the fighter was created, such was the ambition that killed hive corp was the idea of fitting two engines in one plane which houses 4000hp. impressive for an early war plane, however due to the weight and the need of redesigning already redesigned compact engines the aircraft was complicated, had many intakes and was ultimately not able to be mass produced even when it was approved by a full thumbs up! in the end only one was made due to engine parts and it is right here. The bolt is a special fighter that first flew in the late stages of the spanish civil war. However due to its ineffectiveness to be mass produced it was rejected. B

    @poopatron71 I don't see the roll, can you describe it more accurately?

    @pilotred233 Yes. It also rolls a little in tight maneuvers, maybe the vertical stabiliser is a bit small. Its not bad though.

    @poopatron71 if you notice better, it does suffer from a bit of a stall problem... Which is caused by the close center of lift to center of mass.

    Flies fairly well. The backstory was a nice touch.
