Modernised Mosquito

Auto Credit Based on CanofBeans's One Giant Leap Forward Challenge [CLOSED]

Created for the Giant Leap Forward challenge, this is my modernised take on the de Havilland Mosquito. I designed it to be able to fulfil the same role as the original, that of an adaptable multi-role plane. Like the original, this is a fast plane that is hard to intercept. It can act as a dive bomber, a ground attack plane or as a hit and run fighter / interceptor. Whatever it's attacking, it comes in fast, gets its attack in, then uses its speed to get away before the enemy can react. Its speed can make it hard to stop, so I've included some air brakes that are controlled by the pitch slider.
