After doing the conversion on Mr. Shupe's F7F Tigercat, I felt the need to do an airplane from the ground up...so to speak. This is my first ever airplane model but I'm enjoying the learning curve.
I became interested in the Abrams P-1 Explorer after seeing it on another thread, and began doing some research. The model is at a level that I feel comfortable showing the airplane as a WIP. At this point the exterior model still needs some details added and the interior model is a basic place holder. Note that the radial is borrowed from another model I'm working on and will be replaced with the Wright R975 as the model progresses.
This variant is a representation of the original survey airplane with the three blade propeller that was added to the later models just prior to the project being shelved at the start of WWII. It's a shame that this plane never reached it's potential, as the prototypes made 200 MPH @ FL20. Not bad.
The model is being developed for FSX, FSX ST and Prepar3D.
