Auto Credit Based on Yourlocalhuman's War challenge [CLOSED]

This is my first entry into the war challenge. This plane is designed to fulfill the role of defense interceptor, and potentially act as a fighter escort. This plane's main strengths are its straightaway speeds and its six, fast firing machine guns that are grouped together fairly closely. It's main weakness is probably the rate at which it completes its turn and how it bleeds speed during hard turns, so I think boom and zoom tactics work best for this plane.

On a different note, while not necessary for the challenge, I decided to include a cockpit for the aircraft, which may have been a reason why it took me as long as it did to finish this plane.

    This is actually my first attempt at making a WWII fighter with fuselage wings, controls surfaces, and a interior cockpit, so I hope I'm not judged too harshly.
