Brewster F2A-1 Buffalo

24.3k Mikan  5.0 years ago

A US naval fighter made in 1938, it was United State’s first carrier based monoplane fighter. By the dawn of the Pacific War, the Buffalo was long outdated. Replaced by Wildcats, then Hellcats and Corsairs. It is still a respectable plane despite being gluttonous.

AG-1 for arresting hook.

Cheers to @NirvashTec and @BoganBoganTheMan for making this plane possible. Respectively, one did xml for fuselage collision, and the latter provided the .30 cal.

    Using trim, flap angle can be adjusted to be slightly bit more or less. I can only resort to using that as i am on iOS. @ChiChiWerx

    You have a good eye for overall shape/dimensions and I like many details here...also, the LG looks like it was a bear to build. Nice. Interesting design choice to use flaps for trim...why did you go that way?
