Mosquito Fighter Plane

BARD PAPER: VERA0005

Mosquito-Class Fighter

Named by RCES forces for the insect-like noise made by its engine, the Mosquito represents an advancement on the Paper Kite design, being an aircraft purpose-built for air-to-air combat. While it shares the Paper Kite's wood and canvas construction, it is faster and more maneuverable, being built as a monoplane, with a conventional "puller" propellor at the front of the fuselage. The aircraft's single machine gun is equipped with another advance - interruptor gear, allowing it to fire through the propellor without running the risk of shooting away the blades.

While the Mosquito is designed as a fighter, it is also equipped with an under-fuselage bomb-rack, allowing it to carry up to 80kg of ordanance, usually in the form of 8 * 10 kg or 4 * 20 kg bombs.

The plane was designed with Fire Fusion & Steel.
