P-48 Hammerhead

4,880 JB56  6.6 years ago

The P-48 Hammerhead is a twin engine heavy naval fighter/attacker. The body design and style came from the legenday P-38 lightning of WWII fame. Twin Double row supercharged radial engines power this heavy beast, but for its size and weight it is quite nimble. On the buisness end of the aircraft there are three nose mounted 20mm cannons. inbetween the main fuslage and engines there are racks for 2 1000Lb bombs or 2 tiny tim ATGRs. cockpit is fully furnished instead of using a cocpit block. enjoy.

    @jasonboren56 Yeah, the wings are probably too small to provide good lift for low speed. Flaps could help, or lengthening the wings. But thats all nitpicking, this is a very nice looking plane.

    @F104Deathtrap thanks! yes the taibooms are a bit long, but when i originally had them shorter during development the plane would stall during low speed pitch maneuvers like takeoff and landing. lengthening them helped control it at low speed.

    A twin-boom Tigercat, huh? Neat idea. The tail is a bit too long but everything else looks great. I especially like how you included air intakes at the wing roots, little details like that go a long way.
