In the Second World War, Britian was in desparate need of long range fighters. Churchill call upon Supermarine, known for the legendary Spitfire, to build such a plane. It was to be called “Merlin” named after the engine that powers it. The palne excelled at speed and turn rate, but when compared to the Spitfire, had lackluster rate of climb and abismal roll rate. Only 6 were built, as the American P-51s proved to be a better platform.

I will upvote once finished. @SimpleAviation
I’m working on another version that has flaps and custom gear. Don’t worry about it @Amazingaviator12
I tried really hard to make custom gear but I guess when I mirrored it it broke. @SimpleAviation
Ok thanks for the advice.
@Amazingaviator12
I really like this plane a few pieces of criticism is I would make custom gear when you can if you want and also ground attack guns.
