SP.800 Isdyamma

Culprit: MrWeebl - Narwhals

 

Aramean heavy carrier fighter, c. 1940/1942. Early prototypes were quite heavy for the handling gear of older carriers, resulting in the late prototypes and production models being built with significant wood frame sections. Late in production, the meager machine-gun armament was replaced twenty-millimeter cannons, after the initially troublesome V8 engines were replaced with (slightly) lighter and (slightly) less troublesome models.

 

The production Isdyamma is pictured in typical livery. The red spinner and tail bands would seem to indicate a fighter from the air group of ANS Gevurah, but carrier pairs were known to fly planes with swapped markings(or even bands from other pairs) as an obfuscation measure.
