F.T.R.C. 57 “Striker” Attack aircraft
(Early “production model” aka original plane)
The F.T.R.C. 57 Was an attack aircraft developed in 1938, being intended to be an anti-infantry weapon, as well as to be used to attack lightly armored ground positions, and enemy artillery. It began production in 1941, and In the beginning of its lifetime, it was mostly used in North Africa, and eventually in Europe, seeing action against German vehicles. It was upgraded multiple times from 42-45, with the latest upgrades including better 37mm guns, (Which had been wanted because of the surprisingly large amount of tanks on the battlefield) and the capacity for 2 250kg bombs, although rarely used because of issues with flight performance. By the end of WW2, it was outclassed by other attack aircraft and fighter bombers, like the P-47, but went on to serve until 1951, with a total of 2051 models produced.

Variants/Notes
hey person who didn’t know I exist! Recently took a break from building stuff, because I was bored and enjoyed modifying other people’s builds, but I’m back with this. Thing. Literally a plane that took me 2 whole nights, (when I say that I mean it) with a terrible looking cockpit, and for the first time in history, a less than decent “flight model.” I’m honestly pretty proud of it, but anyways, Enjoy!
