The P-7 was the most succesful of many expearamental monoplane designs made in the 1930s. Many of them were given to Nordenvok in the lease lend act to combat with the oncoming MF-109s. They were proven to be effective dispite their lack of speed and lift. They were developed in Orusendas begining to build a larger military force, replacing the P-5. The latest version, the P-5H was outfitted with two autocannons and two guns. Their main tactic was to wait for the enemy to get in front of them, then theyd destroy them. Their spectacular guns were the main point of interest and could tear through the heavyest aurmor. The guns could even take down light tanks. They were also widley used to intecept bomber which stood no chance. This one, the “Naughty Boy” was painted with yellow trim to represent the 304th air group, which consisted mainly of P-7s, the HBD haildiver (uploaded on my profile under the name dive bomber trio) and B-19 goliaths. Some variants came equipted with six rockets, and could be used in ground attack. Although they were proven to be effective in combat, they were later outdeveloped by early jets and retired in 1949
