Auto Credit Based on DeezDucks's Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIX

(Derived yet again from @DeezDucks (P.S. Go check him out) Very Brilliant Spitfire Mk XIX airframe. Was getting frustrated with a bearcat I was trying to make so I decided to mess around with his XIX airframe once again, except it looks almost nothing like it. Engine was made by a good friend who came over to drink few nights ago, no regrets lettin him mess with the game) The Supermarine Cyclone FR Mk. VIC started life in 1947 upon a request from the RAF for a twin-engined, long range interceptor capable of countering the emerging threats from various jet powered fighters. Supermarine, determined to be at the forefront of Piston Engined Fighter development, designed a twin engined interceptor using the existing Griffon Powered Spitfire Mk 22 frame capable of reaching 730mph outrunning earlier jet fighters. This new plane was called the Cyclone with the first 5 versions being developed as Reconnaisance aircraft. The Most notable version was the Mk VIc, also known as the definitive fighter version of the Cyclone. It was Equipped with 4 Hispano Mk V Cannons and 2 M3 (Improved M2) browning .50 cal machine guns. With the further development of the jet fighter, the Cyclone was short lived, with a total of 65 produced, they were retired from service by 1954. This truly was a perfect example of the last superprops.
