Hope u guys enjoyed this creation of mine! It took me a while to finish after making the Heinkel HE-111 but I’m glad I got to finish it. This is by far my favorite America WW2 aircraft and i hope u enjoyed this as much as I did creating it. I’ll see you in the next time

(For those wondering, the name of the plane is inspired by my friend’s girlfriend since i decided to turn this down to him as the pilot of the plane and I know there’s nothing more that he loves more than his love life)
