G-38A-15
Some Fictional History:
The G-38 was planned in 1943, first flew in late 1946 and entered service in mid-1947. The G-38 was manufactured during WW2 in 1944 and was going to have the role of interceptor hunting enemy bombers but the jet engines they had were not as powerful, if they installed the jet engines in the G-38, it could not take off due to lack of power, so the G-38 could not enter service during the war. It was able to have participated in the Korean War where they were on South Korea's side.
Gazka made a variant of the G-38 with an 85 mm cannon, but it was cancelled.
