Auto Credit Based on RepublicOfCursedPlanes's [CLOSED] Never Built Challenge
Vultee submitted a proposal in response to a U.S. Army Air Corps request for an unusual configuration. The Vultee design won the competition, beating the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender and the Northrop XP-56 Black Bullet. Vultee designated it Model 84, a descendant of their earlier Model 78. After completing preliminary engineering and wind tunnel tests, a contract for a prototype was awarded on 8 January 1941. A second prototype was ordered on 17 March 1942. Although it appeared to be a radical design, performance was lackluster, and the project was canceled.

- Originality:
9/10(I never even heard of this plane until you posted it, good job!)- Looks:
11/15(looks nice at a first glance, quite accurate too, I really like the fact that it has a working cockpit. Just change the tail shape to make it more accurate, and make the cockpit look more 1940-ish.)- Performance:
10/15(flies quite well, only bad thing is that it's unstable, although the real plane's performance wasn't that good either)- Features:
5/5(it's suitable as a fighter, and has working guns too)- Overall:
35/45(good job!)Approved
will judge it later
