Ok chaps, this is my entry to the WW2 Master Challenge.

The Supermarine Spectre NF.5a

A fictional compound powered late war night fighter.

Powered by 2 Rolls Royce King Raptors, giving a combined total of 12,000 hp and 6,740 lbs of thrust, she is capable of 705 mph at 30,000 ft.

She weighs 19,973 lbs fully loaded (without optional range extending drop tanks) and has 202 parts. Internally she carries 476 gal of fuel.

She is armed with 8 x 20mm cannon (standard wing guns) in the nose and the real centre piece; 7 unguided rockets in an internal launcher. Perfect for intercepting those Luftwaffe / Soviet / generic bad guy bombers. The only issue is that you cannot fire these rockets whilst the air 2 air RADAR is active - but I'm sure the boffins at Boscombe Down will iron out that little gremlin...

She climbs like a scalded cat, is nice and stable during landing, whilst retaining good agility in the dogfight.

Controls are;

AG1 not used
AG2 + vtol - drop landing flaps
AG3 not used
AG4 not used
AG5 drop under wing stores (none included here)
AG6 lights
AG7 not used
AG8 not used

    @GhostHTX Upload that new version and it will be accepted. It is likely that the aircraft will be updated to be level with the rest. But in any case it will be your plane.

    Is it the use of standard weapons? Ive made a new version, using the supplied guns, but Im not willing to play a game of "guess the transgression", and upload something that is going to be rejected again, so can you let me know if Im right? @mikoyanster
