The H-42 is a fictional fighter and interceptor developed at the end of the Second World War. It has a pair of 3-bladed contra-rotating propellers, and a single 12.7 mm (0.50 calibre) machine gun firing through the propeller shaft.
This is just a quick build, so I haven’t put too much time into the details. I did however put time into making the H-42 incredibly manoeuvrable. It has a very light weight, large wing surface-area, high hp/weight ratio for a propeller driven warbird, and an incredibly low wing loading. All of these achieve a high top speed, great climb rate and exceptional turn time and roll rate.
Thanks to:
@WNP78 for their Overload mod, which I used to edit the mass of the parts and achieve the low weight
@HellFireKoder for their Fine Tuner mod
