Boeing P-26A

This Boeing P-26A is under the 6th Pursuit squadron, Philippine Army Air Corps at Nicholas field in the Philippines on December 1941. Whom served and fought during WW2. Philippine P-26s carried several different color schemes and marking combinations (this plane is somewhat close to a model but with white underbelly and a pattern camo, that at the moment I dont know how to or dont have the time to). One Philippine pilot, Captain Jesus Villamor, was credited with shooting down a Japanese bomber on December 12 1941 (Gained (2x) Distinguished Service Cross with 1 Oak Leaf Cluster Legion of Merit Medal of Valor). During this engagement other PAAC pilots destroyed 2 A6M Zeroes for a loss of 3 of the P-26s. Wherein these P-26A machine lacked in power, the pilots made up by their own fire. CONTROLS: Default controls, Activation group 1= drop all payload, Activation Group 7= Gyroscope (for landing and somewhat possibly for manuevers), Activation group 8= Engine. NOTES: When taking off, pull back to the right the yaw to take off unscathe. This is because the plane is "unbalanced" (not really sure why the plane likes to go left in taking off) But when in the air its as smooth as a butter to fly. The dials in the cockpit are not accurate to the real ones as I dont have much knowledge of creating dials in the game. Some parts of the plane (like some of the dials) are salvaged from other planes. As I mentioned before I am an amateur in creating planes in simple planes especially super detailed stuff in planes. I try my best to accomodate some details with source materials but not fully accurate as I am limited to my knowledge. Also might added few biases for the plane :3
