My most detailed build so far! I had lots of fun making the nose art, might make more.
I spent a good 3 or 4 days on this and it came out really well. Guess the planes that I took inspiration from?
Many thanks to @alexchub1 for help on the wing detailing, the letters at the rear fuselage and the air intake!
The P-22 is a high altitude fighter, mostly used in escort and interceptor roles. It has a high service ceiling and speed, capable of reaching 410mph in level flight at an altitude of 10,000 ft. Its armament includes a 20mm autocannon mounted on each wing, firing just outside the propeller arc. It also has a powerful 37mm cannon firing through the propeller hub, which is said to be capable of destroying targets in one clean hit.
This particular P-22D, nicknamed the "Ace of Diamonds," got 6 confirmed kills during its service with the Air Force.
Controls:
AG1- activate 20mms
AG2- activate 37mm
AG3- drop tanks (about 38% fuel)
AG4- nav lights
VTOL down- flaps
- use some trim to level flight
Hope you all enjoy!

@SSSvaSSa thanks!
Yes, but this thing is AWESOME. It deserves lots of attention, or at least more then it's getting. I have 19 upvotes on one of my things,, but it is nowhere as good as this. 60% who upvoted did not even order anything from it (you'll see what I mean if U click the link.) Anyways, good job on this.
@Lylian hey, 10 upvotes is already a lot. For me, atleast.
Only 10 upvotes??? People are not seeing the great planes like this.
@UnicornPlanes thank alexchub for that my dude

@Treadmill103 @Rugpeersdude thanks guys! Any thoughts?
Np @Razor3278
Yeah definitely @Razor3278
@Rodrigo110 I'm one lazy bastard but I'll try to continue to spend more time in building. It pays off really well.
Beautiful design and detailing! Great job on this one, your builds are getting better and better!
Very Good
