Hamburger Flugzeugbau Ha 137b

Auto Credit Based on poopatron71's Fixed Gear Fighter Challenge (FINISHED)

The Wiki:

The Hamburger Flugzeugbau Ha 137 was a German ground-attack aircraft of the 1930s. Built entirely of metal and using a semi-monocoque fuselage, the design looked more like a fighter - specifically like the Heinkel He 112 - than a dive bomber. The wing used the tubular spar system, the inner portion of which was sealed as a fuel tank holding 270 L (70 US gal). The design used fixed landing gear, so in order to reduce their length and their resulting drag, the wings featured a sharp inverted gull wing bend at about ¼ span. The wheels were mounted on two shock absorbers each, so the fairing around the gear was large enough to allow the mounting of a 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine gun for testing, and a 20 mm MG FF cannon if required. Two additional 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17s were mounted in the fuselage decking above the engine.

Controls and Features:

-Standard SP Flight Controls
-VTOL for Flaps
-Ag1 to Open Cockpit Hatch

Features:

-Custom Wing Surfaces
-Custom fuselage (with room for interior by more skilled hands)
-Custom Gear

As Always:

I know this is a Fighter challenge, but I'm hoping to squeak by with a ground and pound aircraft from yesteryear. The wings are a bit of a different shape that the real deal to accommodate the custom control surfaces. It's my first go at custom surfaces/wings and I they turned out alright. It feels good to be back in the swing of things. As always, please let me know if you have suggestions for improvements or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by, and enjoy your flight!!

    @Sgtk to call you out: the design is very neat. looks more polished than the sheet metal donkey (junkers j1 if i can trust google and the junkers website on this) but not as polished than a geebee. neat for the start of the race of the monplanes. good choice i think.

    you are right in almost all circumstances @Trainzo but our friend @Sgtk could also mention in the description that the company was later turned into blom & voss. great model but a bit more history cant harm the charm.
