The Grumman XP-50 was a land-based development of the shipboard XF5F-1 Skyrocket fighter, entered into a United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) contest for a twin-engine heavy interceptor aircraft. The USAAC placed an order for a prototype on 25 November 1939, designating it XP-50, but it lost the competition to the Lockheed XP-49.


By the way, it really flies like an XP-50! Enjoy!

    This is a good start. I would love to see more detail with the wings. Other than that great job.

    Yeah go for it! If you need help just ask. You can even make an unlisted version if you’d like me to take a look @Trijets

    I think you should remake it but in the proper proportions and also like add a bit of extra detail like insignias, outlined ailerons and such. I think it would definitely be worth it because you’re definitely capable. @Trijets
