note, this plane was built by me years ago, so the building techniques and the quality is nothing to write home about. However, I decided to upload it for shits and giggles, because it is simple, but very functional and reliable.

"The plane that won the war!

A more than fitting quote, for the top scoring plane of the Krakobloa Air Force in WW II. A rugged, simple design, combined with great maneuverability, and superior firepower, made the men and woman that flew them into aces and legends, along with the plane itself. The V12 engine this plane is equipped with outputs 1400 HP consistently at all altitudes thanks to its multistage supercharger. The low drag design, combined with the afro mentioned engine propels this plane to the speed of 345 MPH on the deck, classifying it as a super-prop. The rugged design of the plane allows it to absorb most small to medium caliber rounds that are shot into the hull. The gigantic wing area of the plane provides it with incredible lift, and maneuverability, therefore out climbing and outturning any contemporary aircraft at the time. There is virtually not downsides to this plane.
