History
The Beechcraft XA-38 "Grizzly" was a World War II-era ground attack aircraft, developed by Beechcraft, but never put into production. The Grizzly was to have been fitted with a forward-firing 75 mm cannon to penetrate heavily armored targets. While the first prototype flew on 7 May 1944, testing established that the type would not be ready for the projected invasion of Japan.

Hi and I thought you have quit the SP community
i see cool plaens, i updoot

Noice :D
This is sick
@WinsWings np
@Thatrano Yes, I was not exactly following or working with the blueprint. Just a quick build, loosely based on the XA-38 with a bit different position for the 75mm canon. (Real one got another remote turret on the belly too, with total of 6x 0.5 machine guns.)
@CaptainBrayden Thanks for the cool pics
Not to be a hater but this is a little different from the actual plane (trust me I suck at building)
Now i know this plane exists
