Sky Lightning 3.0

26.9k Sunnyskies  8.8 years ago

Accurate recreation of a P-38 Lightning in my personal colors. Very closely matches size, and shape. Engines emulate performance well, are tuned to match a realistic top speed, and the propellers are close to actual size. Comes equipped with 5 working machineguns, and 10 interceptors arranged like the classic rockets used by late P-38L models, as well as droppable Fuel-tanks. Had to compensate for short landing gear with blocks to keep the props off the ground. Update 2.0 features a slightly more accurate wing angle. Update 3.0 Improves the overall shape, fixes the missile clipping, and adds some cosmetic upgrades such as the turbochargers, coolant radiators, and lights.
