Auto Credit Based on mikoyanster's 50s Cold War Challenge [CANCELLED]

Submitting for both parts, the challenge and tournament.

Special thanks to @realuochen9999 for the use of your "Jolly Roger's" skull decal.

Early 50's era fighter jet. My fictonal concept of the next generation Curtis-Wright J3 Fury propeller plane from Crimson Skies video games.

Built in1952 to Counter The Soviet's MIG-15 but not mass produced dew to high production costs and complicated and time consuming maintenance procedures.

This livery was used by a mercenary flight squadron named "Balfour's Pirates" Mostly made up of a hodge podge of people of different national backgrounds, who would sell their flying skills to the highest bidders. Hence no national markings. Luckily The United States had a high payroll. They mostly fought for The United States, but sometimes... they pointed their guns the other way for the right price.

Act1: Afterburner
Act2: Auto cannon mounted underneath
Act3:Running lights
Act7: Release auto cannon

    @Pianoman Thanks a lot. This one kind of evolved as I went. Like most of my builds. LOL! They start as one thing and end up another.

    Awesome...nice design and good operability, also gun action is great.
    It reminds me of Japanese Animation "Space Pirate Captain Harlock ".
