The White Tiger is an attack strike fighter similar to the P-47 and Typhoon. The White Tiger first flew in 1942 and entered service in 1943 in the European Theatre. Its extremely powerful engine allows it to fly at incredible speeds and hit hard. Armed with four Hispano Cannons and a selection of Bomb and rocket loads, the White Tigers rain havoc on enemy Tanks, convoys, trains, and bridges. This is my most realistic build so far, its flight characteristics are what you would expect of an early 1940s aircraft. Taking off is a challenge, full throttle is not recommended. The VTOL landing and take off flaps are very useful and landings are surprisingly easy. The biggest problem would be another realistic feature, the structural integrity in high-G manoeuvers can rip your wings off, but they stay strong the rest of the time. I would like to say thank you to @AughtFour for making the landing gear.
AG 1-6 is rockets and AG 7 for lights. Thank you very much, I hope you enjoy.

Thank you very much @BogdanX
@CaptBlackadder No problem! My new fighter Ki-87-II was also has this problem at first. I installed the landing gears at the leading edge of the wings, but it still not very good. Then I tried to use landing gear fairing，and the problem got solved，because this way allows the landing gear to reach out to the wing without changing the wing shape. So I guess the Nakajima Ki-87's designers also use this kind of landing gear because of the same reason.
Your White Tiger Mk I don't need to change the form of landing gears like I did. moving the landing gears forward would solve the problem (I've I tested that). :D
@Sparrow007 Well thank you. You see the only problem with that is up there I found that the wheels showed through the wings, and as far forward I put them it still had a stability problem, the engine is too powerful. Thank you very much for suggesting a solution, it has been bothering me : )
Beautiful plane! I like this design. And I have a suggestion, moving the wing landing gears to the leading edge of the wings will make it easier to take off.
@GhostHTX Thank you so much, it means a lot
@CaptBlackadder It does. Hawker proposed a Hurricane replacement called the Hawker Tornado. It was a parallel development to the Typhoon.
I really like this build. Good job.
@Odge Haha, yeah it is unfortunate and sometimes annoying but it is what it is. Thank you very much though!
@GhostHTX Thank you, yeah I almost called it the Fairey Tornado... actually that sounds amazing...
it flies with most of its wings blown off nice work
Reminds me of a late model Spitfire, Tempest or maybe a Sea Fury. I like it.
@CaptBlackadder sure. 👍🏻
@OverclockAircrafts Thank you! :D
@SimpleFlow Thank you very much :)
Nice. Love it! 😁
