Part of my scaled WW2 series - All aircraft built to scale, with accurate weights, speeds and flight characteristics to the original.
The victim of a rush job, the American p-80 jet fighter was nevertheless an outstanding design for the age. It's combat capacity was poor, however, as it found itself outclassed by other jets that adopted swept wing designs.

I enjoy these planes that have realistic handling - but what really sold me was the view from the cockpit and the moving camera with control inputs! Really feels like you're in there yanking the plane around and feeling the Gs!
Would upvote but I don't have enough points
