Hey, I've seen that model or very simlar one in WB 2.xx already !!! I even flew it in some virtual dogfights.
As I remember it was quite fast, but due that the pilot black/redouted easily. It was important to handle the stick with very gentle touch.
Guns were quite effective , bringing down the B17 needed only a slight squeeze of the trigger and the target disappeared in the explosion.
Well, time was running too fast for ships like that already then, and it could be seen everywhere in the ship. The whole interior design was a little bit old-fashioned, and as you can see from pictures SOLAS showed, the exterior design also needed some updating.
Anyway, it was quite an interesting asquaintance for test purposes only. As my opinion, there's no need to model it in AH, at least not before the early-war planeset.
