Stanmich SP-12A "Storm"

Auto Credit Based on Stanmich's Stanmich Storm 0.7

An early Christmas present. In 1927, Stanmich Aircraft Company was comissioned by the United States government to construct a new attack aircraft, but with the manueverability of a fighter. Stanmich, with their slighty soviet design conventions, decided to opt for a 1450hp engine to power the fighter. this resulted in an aircraft that can be pushed to its limits. Later editions: The SP-12B with a larger elevator, developed into the SP-13, The SP-12C, Carrier based, The SP-12D, with external fuel tanks, and developed from the SP-12C, and The SP-12X, designed with a new sheen, to be used for radar testing in 1942. This aircraft was in the 'Special Pursuit' class of fighters, because it was designed as a new form of multirole fighter. it carried 4 machine guns, and 4 100lbs bombs. this was what gave it the nickname of the '1:1', because for every bomb, theres's a machine gun. This aircraft single handedly cut through every german Attack aircraft faster than a bullet through a stick of butter. Personally, I've been working (and procrastinating) on this so much I've come to like it as an aircraft. it feels like an upgrade to your standard fighter in terms of firepower, but also an upgrade from an ordinary attack aircraft in terms of manueverability. this is also my first aircraft to have a functioning cockpit with Funky Trees. This is new for me. if you have any suggestions on aircraft to do, why not, post them here. I also would like some constructive criticism.

    @AWESOMENESS360 Thanks for the suggestion, although I will mention the "flaps" are actually trim for the roll of the aircraft; that came from before I was done with the plane.

    @maggiebrandy Thank you! I did my best with the reference I had, which was a rexZion plane, and This is my first real instrumentation.

    This is super cool, I love the cockpit and the overall design is great. One suggestion I will make, is to put more space in between the landing gear, they’re way too close together; you can search up images of early WWI and even WWII Biplanes, and you can see that they all share the common feature of relatively far-spaced landing gear, usually attached by a wing-like section in between the wheels. Also, your Flaps are inverted; I assume the control surfaces that move via the VTOL Slider are supposed to be flaps?
