Overview

The Vultee P-66 (V-48) is a single-seat monoplane fighter.

It would have been delivered to Sweden but an arms embargo ensued at that time, making the airplanes under Chinese and British hands. No aircraft survives.

Building techniques

I used custom wings (as my Heizou and the B-8S) does, but this feature customized control surfaces, from primary wings all through the stabilizers.
I decided to create a customized cockpit from scratch, since no visible or recorded picture or diagram of the cockpit controls and appearance exists.

`Note: Sorry for making the rudder control surface stuck'

Controls

AG3: -
AG4: -

Armament

It has 6 machine guns (4x 0.30 cal, 2x 0.50 cal).

`Notes:
PLEASE DO NOT MIRROR THE AIRCRAFT!'

And finally to prevent any unlisted burden, you can use it for general purposes, operational units in roleplaying, licence manufacture on your own factory and to destroy.
