It's so small!  I like it! :D

Question, what year is the Brewster from?  Just curious if it will be in any area besides LW.
First delivery was in '39.

Just did a little reading on it and its only armed with one .50 and one .30 cowl  mounted MGs and it looks like a EW fighter.

Armament
1 × 0.30 in Browning AN machine gun and 1 × 0.50 in M2 Browning machine gun in the fuselage, with additional 2 × 0.50 in M2 wing-mounted machine guns for combat operations

In Finnish service: 4 × 0.50 in (12.7 mm) Browning M2 machine guns

The B-239's were first tested in Finland in 1940.
According to wikipedia it had 4 .50 cals in Finnish service, and that the 44 Finnish Brewsters destroyed 477 Soviet aircraft for 19 lost.

one .30 and one .50 cowl mounted MG and two optional wing mounted MGs. Not sure if they were put on wing pylons or actually inside the wing.

US forces also said the P39 was a piece of junk and it was shipped over seas.
Ironically these aircraft became the mounts of some of the highest scoring aces in history :lol (on opposite sides of the war, too).
I can't wait to fly this thing :D

Looks like ammo counters above the control stick. It looks like the cockpit's pretty unfinished, none of the instruments have any needles.

It is actually quite large. There is just a huge guy flying it in those screenies :)
Bf109 is smaller.
