Auto Credit Based on maverickvii's F6F Hellcat

Admittedly, heavily based upon my F6F. I finished the Hellcat and realized that it (my build at least) looked a whole lot like the Razorback...

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt is one of the largest and heaviest fighter aircraft in history to be powered by a single piston engine. It was built from 1941-1945. The P-47 was designed around the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine.

Group 1 and VTOL for gear
Group 2 drops fuel tank
Group 3,4 drops bombs

    @viper28 so true but one is flush with the wing so I didn't show it. I did screwup the perspective though, the closest to the body is supposed to be the longest , whoops
