Very fine work.

My first FD scale aircraft, so go easy on me. It is a fighter plane for Skyrim; the Thrumufleygur, which means Thunderbolt. Despite it`s huge size, it was quite fast and nimble, especially at high altitudes. The plane had a 2300 hp turbo supercharged radial engine. Arnament is 6x13 mm machine guns. Top speed at 25,000 feet is 450mph (720 kmh.)

Radials don't use radiator and oil cooler below the fuselage, only liquid-cooled do that.

Those "radiators" are from radial engined planes, namely the Raiden and P-47. The coller below the fuselage may be a mistake though.

That was chin, not fuselage mounted though. AFAIK the under-fuselage bumps and intakes on the 'Jug' are to do with the turbo-supercharger system.

As it is here aswell. I`ve been thinking, there are no radiators on the plane so where you came up with that I don`t know

Maybe one pic will say more then words.


What is this ?

Air intake for the turbo supercharger. I didn`t want one in the same config as the P-47, that would make the plane too big and heavy. So I chose to have it under the fuselage ala Mustang.

Yhym, ok now I understand.

Now I presume you will need to delete "nimble" part from description of plane. That intake will create some epic drag, there is a reason you know why big radial fighters don't use that kind of intakes under the fuselage.

What I meant is that it is nimble for it`s size and weight, not nimble as the A6M Zero. An interesting fact is that I used the A7M Reppan as a base referance to design this plane. I have seen no mention of the A7M here, so I might actually make that one.
