Spanky here..

K I switched to using a spline and lathing it to make the egg shape for this sucker and when i started it was 980 polys LOL

Now its down to 160 and I think I can push it lower.

Right now its an 11 sided smoothed object.

Think 11 is too high or too low>? You only see it from the front.

I need to set up some web space so i can post pics.

THis is the plane BTW.

Looks like one well placed 50 cal. round would take off the tail, or a high G turn. They didn't have Titanium back then.

Wouldn't catch me in it.

Yep probly could jerry, Its going to be a fragile beast.

Its advantages will be speed, accel, agility and its hitting power.

Its disadvantages will be, High landing and take off speed, Fragile, small range, limited ammo, and ,low pilot armor.

Its small so it will present a small profile for bombers to shoot at.
