5,117 SchadeAircaftCompany  2.0 years ago
Auto Credit Based on NavalCG's Combination Challenge [OPEN]

For the Combination Challenge, this is the combination of the Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, better known as “Oscar”, and the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. From the Ki-43, it takes the wings and all control surfaces, the armament of 2 cowl mounted machine guns, general cockpit layout, canopy, and landing gear. From the P-47, it takes the fuselage, cowling, and turbo charger. Even the name is a combination, with Nakajima and “Ki” designation from the Oscar, and the 47 and Rakurai, which is Thunderbolt in Japanese, from the P-47. No special instructions really, just set the trim and push the throttle and go.

    @SchadeAircaftCompany I just downloaded it after finishing my example. It flies very nice and I like the controls.

    @NavalCG thanks, was kinda difficult to not make it look like just a P-47 in Japanese colors, but I think I have a good blend of the two
