Auto Credit Based on ShiraMakesAircraft's Alpha SAF-220 Macaw

The Alpha SAF-400 Kestrel is a ground attack version of the SAF-220 Macaw. While it uses the same engine it has been tuned to make 400BHP over the 220BHP from the Macaw. Weight has been removed wherever possible for a higher top speed and improved maneuverability, which means the fusilage and wings have been strengthened to deal with higher G's. More changes have been made over the original aircraft but the loadout consists of, dual 7mm machine guns in the nose and 2 rocket pods 1 on each wing. This particular variant has been ordered with a range extender kit.
