Hello everyone! Supercraft888 here, and today I present to you, one of my new favorites of all time. I am extremely proud of how this plane turned out and I had a great time building it.
However this wouldn't be possible without the help of the wonderful t8erh8er who helped mod the landing gears and fuselage on the wings, and the amazing KDS who helped mod the prop and to go at its ridiculous speed and the guns. Without these two, then this plane wouldn't be possible, so be sure to check them out!

---NOTES---
• Special thanks to t8erh8er and KDS
• Heavy inspiration from the Supermarine Spitfire, and a little bit of the FW-190
•maybe I'll put it in the RP
•the missiles on this plane are meant to be rockets

---Take off Instructions---
1: wait for plane to land on all its wheels. It leans back when it spawns in
2: throttle up to 30% power
3: once at 150mph pull back slowly
4: once in the air, go full throttle.
Please note that using the yaw will be dangerous and should only be used as an emergency.

---Instructions---
• Ag-1 and fire guns to shoot .50 cal guns
• Ag-2 and fire guns to shoot 20mm cannon
• Ag-3 to launch outermost Guardian missile
• Ag-4 to launch innermost Guardian missile
• Ag-5 to launch Infero missiles
• VTOL up to activate airbrake

---Description---
The Northrop P-33 (also known as, Pegasus) was a prop plane developed by Northrop during the Second World War sometime between 1941-1942. It was a direct contender to the P-51 mustang, but lost due to its higher cost. The Northrop P-33 was designed to be extremely deadly in combat with its high manouverability, speed, endurance, reliability and heavy armament. However this made the plane rather expensive to make and costed nearly twice as much to the P-51, making it very inefficient to mass produce as effectively as the p-51. During combat test it was proven to be more dangerous than the p-51 though.

It would finally prove it's combat effectiveness during the war when one of the few models was going to be put in an aircraft museum in England. However, the shipment went to the wrong place and ended up at an airfield by accident. Becuase one of the Supermarine spitfires on that day was being repaired, this plane was taken into battle instead where it would fly over Berlin protecting bombers from the terrifying BF-109, this single plane had 28 confirmed kills that day. Another P-33 was used against the Japanese's A6M Zeros. It flew directly into a group of A6M Zeros, head on, and survived. In that single charge it was a single P-33 against 10 A6M Zeros. It shot down 10 in under 20 seconds according to eye witness accounts and continued fighting even though it was heavily damaged, raking up an astonishing 34 kills in a single mission. Further proving its deadly capabilities.

Its signature features was its double, long exhaust pipes that gave it a look ahead of its time. It also was incredibly fast, even faster than a mustang. Finally it spotted 6 harpoints capable of carrying bombs, or rockets that would wreak havoc on enemy ground forces. Historians have predicted that if the P-33 did become the main fighter plane for the United States, then the USA could have had the deadliest fighter aircraft for the time
