Auto Credit Based on LegnaK's Second Global War Fighter Challenge!
Introduction
The RJ F56 is heavily inspired by the BV170 Schnellbomber but with only 2 engines (hence the 56) and in a fighter configuration. Designed and built in 1944 it was radical to say the least. Seen here in the colour scheme of Weilkova and based on a colour scheme used by Polish Spitfire pilots.
Armed with 2no. 40mm cannon and 6 .303 Browning machine guns it packs a punch. Designed as a competitor to the Hornet is shares a lot of similarities but then differs in engine position, tail configiration etc.

sorry this is so late, I had a buddy help me with the voting on some of these,
Handling, stability, agility: 10 points :: 7.5/10 "7.5 Flies ok, rudder doesnt seem to function properly" (my buddys words) I'm going to have to agree with the initial score only because the aircraft is exceptionally heavy as a fighter aircraft and feels as if it needs some support fighters, much like the Yak-9T in real life.
Realistic model and behavior: 10 points :: 10/10 "9 decent for a chunky heavy fighter" I personally am going to have to boost this to a 10 because it's extremely in line with its shape, it's speed and attitude are perfect for her shape.
Details, paint and other: 10 points :: 10/10 - "9 very good looking paint scheme" I'm personally going 10/10 because its very, very loyal to old WWII era british fighters, her
Build quality: 10 points :: 8/10 "8 Handles damage pretty good for a heavy fighter" (He misunderstood at this point) though I am going to also go with an 8/10, this is a VERY well done aircraft but its lack of interior cockpit leaves much to be desired.
Personal impression: 10 points :: 9/10 "8 Overall I like the look of the aircraft just wish it had better handling." I'm gonna have to say 9/10, it's unique design, rather stable controls, and modest handling makes it a great aircraft but the interior knocks a point :(
Description: 10 points :: 6/10 "6 Little description compared to what would be expected/compared to others" unfortunately I am going to have to agree, while it is short and sweet to the point, it leaves a lot to be desired about the aircraft.
Overall: 50.5/60
The pilot is so cute.
lol
One suggestion though, scale the y axis of lights in the exhaust to be proportionally higher so the "halo" effect will be more pointy and will look more like it flow out rather than just a circle.
And if it's not visible enough, stack more lights on top of it.
@Type2volkswagen thats about right, at somepoint every part of the pilots head got attached to the seat, it took 30mins just to get the head moving again... thanks for letting me know.
Neat Plane, just a heads up, the Pilot looses his shoulders when it loads....
Very Crimson Skies, awesome build
