F-89H

643 L3thalPredator  8 months ago

The Northrop F-89 Scorpion is an all-weather, twin-engined interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Northrop Corporation. It was the first jet-powered aircraft to be designed for the Interceptor role from the outset to enter service, as well as the first combat aircraft to be armed with air-to-air nuclear weapons in the form of the unguided Genie rocket. The name Scorpion came from the aircraft's elevated tail unit and high-mounted horizontal stabilizer, which kept it clear of the engine exhaust. source: WikipediaThis model is the F-89H. Which just has a few avionics differences and different weapon payload than the other varients. It is armed with six AIM-4 Falcon missiles concealed inside the wing tips. And two AIR-2 GENIE air to air nuclear rockets. Mine is not an exact 1:1 replica so I decided to add guns similar to the f89B. Which has six 20mm nose mounted cannons with 1200 rounds of ammo. There is also a detailed cockpit that I put a lot of effort into along with custom pilot and radar operator. The radar operator seat does not have nearly as much detail as there is no camera back there and also to keep the part count lower. Hope you like it, and make sure to upvote if you doPs: all controls are In the flight instructions menu.
