F-12F “Bandit”

63.7k TheUltimatePlaneLover  8 months ago

The F-12F Bandit!

Raiding the Pacific since 1941! (Or 2024)

I was doing some research the other day and discovered that the unique W-like formation of the F4U's wings is called an "inverted gull wing," so I figured that if we have inverted gull wings, surely there must be normal gull wings, verted gull wings if you will. So this plane is basically the F4U, but everything is reversed, except the fact that it’s an American Naval fighter.

He's pretty good at offensive combat, but as shown in the picture to the left, the F-12F can also be used as a fighter escort. Plus, since he can take off from carriers, he'll be extra quick to reach friendly bombers for missions. The B-29 will be available soon, possibly as my gold special. (possibly, but unconfirmed)

    @Noname918181 yeah
    Following the creation of the F-12 I got smart and looked up Gull Wings, they do in fact exist, but my thinking at the time of making this was "verted gull wings" lol
