Bell XFL Airabonita WIP?
« on: December 27, 2020, 04:15:47 AM »

I remember seeing or dreaming a WIP about a Bell XFL Airabonita, the Tail Dragger, hook equipped USN version of the P-39, but couldn't find it. It was a dream or we really had a WIP at some point, If we had a WIP, what happened to it?

Thanks!

I didn't even realise Bell had a P-39 ''Taildragger'' in development. It was possibly cancelled due to enhanced US Navy fighters like the Wildcat, Hellcat, Corsair and Bearcat in design and production.  :-|

ReadDarko, not a dream. I do remember seeing it as well. I suppose the modder moved on to other things.

I have no clue who did it nor which state it's in, so please: Handle with care!

Many thanks, Storebror! It seems like it needs some TLC. I've never modded before, but I'll play around with it.

I would like to give this a try. Need the Classfiles for a P-39N.

CWatson sent me a version he had done a long time ago. Landing gear moved forward and loadouts but some 3D work is needed for the landing gear wells to be moved and a skin to reflect that move.

Anyway here it is.....   https://www.mediafire.com/file/psnkx4kxbpnkof1/Bell_Airabonita_v1.7z/file

Happy new year!
