P-40S Superhawk

[+dtmdragon 2,699]

Late 1945. The dropping of the Atomic bombs on Japan has failed to force surrender. Allied forces are on the verge of invading the Japanese mainland...

 

With its primary fighter bomber squadrons now operating the P-51D Mustang and the FG-1D Corsair the Royal New Zealand Air Force has a large surplus of ex-service and now obsolete P-40K/M/N Warhawks. To make good use of these airframes for other than just for pilot training back in New Zealand the RNZAF embarks on an ambitions upgrade program to bring the Warhawk back to frontline service.

 

The result is the P-40S ‘Superhawk.’

 

- 2200hp Rolls-Royce Griffon 61 engine.

- 4 x 20mm Hispano Mk II cannons.

- 2 x 0.50 caliber (12.7mm) M2 Browning machine guns.

- K-14 gyro gunsight.

- Max speed: 448 mph, (391 kn, 717 km/h).
- Range: 650 mi (560 nmi, 1,100 km400 nmi (459 mi, 740 km).
- Service ceiling: 43,500 ft (13,258 m).
- Rate of climb: 3,650 ft/min (18.5 m/s).

Cheers guys, it kicks ass in the air to! It can hold its own with even the best late war fighters lol

might want to switch (repaint) the control surfaces to metal; even the Griffon Spits replaced their fabric with metal.

Also, the Griffon rotates in the opposite direction of the Merlins (and is much wider across the valve covers), so watch out for torque!!

It also had a different radiator and Carb air intake, but I'm fixing that. (Evil Grin) I'm thinking that a Packard V-2250 would have been created for the beast with a 4 blade prop.

4 bladded prop with a Griffon is a given! (or 5!!)

[+dtmdragon 2,699]

The Griffon 5 Blade Prop would look bad ass!!!

http://combatace.com/files/file/14209-kittyhawk-iii-soviet/ its SF1 so you can update the whole aircraft for SF2 or just use the skin but you will still have to sort the decals etc. This is the skin I used but I changed it to fit the P-40N/S model. Edited October 27, 2014 by dtmdragon

Russ, it was exported with Max9. I didn't enable the Bump Mapping. I tried it before with the old TW exporter, No joy.:(
