original plane cause i uploaded this twice

An Italian fighter that can handle itself well against most aircraft. This one in particular was a night fighter, though it carried a bomb for surprise attacks in the cover of night against ground targets. The two 12.7mm guns allowed it to rip apart most targets at closer ranges.

While building the Monitor, I had the idea to re-engine an older plane with it's engine cause I liked the details on it. I ended up re-tuning it so that it flew better than before and "modernized" it with somewhat realistic Breda-SAFAT guns and added some flaps. It's something I didn't think I would end up posting, but here we are. Enjoy!

VTOL to control flaps.
