Fictional Backstory Time!
It's early 1945, and Nazi Germany has mustered enough forces to form an air strike on Allied air bases, codenamed Bodenplatte. They succeed, crippling the Allied air power, especially the fighter force. With a lack of fighters to escort the heavies, the USAAF decide to bring the XP-72 back to life, using it as an escort fighter. It was extremely successful due to its superior speed and powerful guns, and this plane, nicknamed "Baby II", scored 3 Japanese planes shot down before being transferred to the ETO, then scoring 10 kills, many of whom were jets.
Have fun!

@planelover400 I know I might be like 60 days late, but I did :)
@EpicPigster1 is there a chance you'll make a P-51D? Or a modified Mustang like the superbolt? I just love the design of the Superbolt
@ThePrototype Yeah, thats true
Np problem but the type 2 rocket fighter would have out ran it by at a 150 mph @EpicPigster1
@ThePrototype thx
@ThePrototype No, it never entered service. But if it did, it would have
Good job
So this plane faced Japanese kikka's and type 2 rocket fighters
I'm a meme
@helilover03 lol
@helilover03 Oh yeah! YAY! Thanks for telling me, I honestly didn't realize :D
@helilover03 What?
I hope this beautiful thing reached production
@BaconAircraft No problem dude :)
@EpicPigster1 Awww, thanks! :)
@CoolPeach Thanks dude! I never thought it would come so fast, to be completely honest, your BTD Destroyer was the plane that inspired me and the only reason why I started building WWII planes! But don't worry, since now, I can return the favor by spotlighting you! :D
Holy cow, where did this come from?
Great job, love the details
(P.s. Shame I can't spotlight you now :( )
@BaconAircraft Thanks for the encouragement! But I would never have known you can't make fighters, all of your planes are so well built!
@F4f879 Oh, ok, it makes sense now, I can see why you speculate...
@EpicPigster1 Hey, your planes are great as well. Trust me, i cant build fighters. I just suck at them. So thats something you're better than me at.
@EpicPigster1 I ask because u haven't been on sp very long and already make detailed and accurate replicas lol
@BaconAircraft OMG OMG OMG BaconAircraft replied to my comment! No way! My life is complete! jk jk, I can only dream of making planes as good as you!
@EpicPigster1 Lol well said xD
@F4f879 Maybe a P-47, or an XF8B, don't know yet...
@F4f879 Wait wut? I've been never asked that before, no, I am not BaconAircraft lol. There are a lot of Chinese people in Canada, especially where I live in Toronto, Chinese and other Asian people are really common. We just both happen to be 15 year old Chinese-Canadians :)
