A prewar fighter, it was designed with speed and climb in mind, resulting in an aircraft that handled like an interceptor. These small and speedy aircraft were used in the USAAC from the late 30’s to the first few months of war until they were retired due to their increasing obsolescence. The plane was a sales success and was one of the best bomber interceptors in the first months of the Pacific War.

Alright, this plane has an pretty ok turn rate, but the climb rate on this thing is wild for what it is. I also made this to try out a new cockpit look. Enjoy!

    Very nicely made aircraft. It’s simple but very good looking and flies pretty realistically for an aircraft of its era. The canopy is especially well done
