Okay lets spell this out...

M-Jug

Was a 47D with Pratt & Whitney R-2800-57 Double Wasp.  The same engine that was in the N that we already had. Therefore HTC had the specs.  So it was easy for HTC to complete the M-Jug MODEL.

Fw-190 Models and the IAR 80 model share what parts?

the iar looks very similer to a fw190 (and was mistaken as one alot by allied pilots.)

they can just use the fw190's model to build the IAR. just saying.

Fortunately for us the flight models aren't that simple. Making the aircraft look correct isn't the problem. Making the aircraft fly correctly is the part that requires more information then you'll generally find posted online.

Perk this plane?  LOL! Top speed of 320mph at altitude plus only 6*303cal license-Browning MGs? What do you think, how could this plane compete with the other '42 rides, spit5, 109 g-2, early la5, p-39?
This little elegant bird was so outclassed. Would be a hangar queen even in the early war. Plus only 300 were built, couldnt play much role in the eastern front.
Maybe a few years later.

It definitely wouldn't need to be perked but it would be a good addition to both the early and mid-war plane sets.  It was rather manueverable and as the P-38s of the 82nd found out over Ploesti, the little buggers could fight pretty good.

This is one plane that a lot of us have been asking to be added for awhile now.
