The K-40 Cyclone is the most widely produced Talian fighter to date. This comes as no surprise as it is very easy to build and fly. While the basic design is in essence, very simple, it is lightweight and therefore very fast and maneuverable. Its supercharged Rolls-Royce merlin engine generates about 1,720 hp, which will have it going about 475 mph. Its great speed and maneuverability make it a capable dogfighter, and with 6 wing mounted .50 cal browning machine guns, it can lay down some serious firepower as well. While primarily employed by the Talian air force and navy, its is available for export to other countries.
About this creation














Naval varient




Desert varient




This one was a lot of fun to build. While normally I try to model my aircraft after existing ones to ensure buildability, I designed and built this one from scratch. While it did receive a heavy mental influence from the MiG-3, P-51, and P-40, I take full credit for it's design. That being said, thank you for checking out my aircraft, and be sure to leave me feedback. Thats my incentive to improve!

Outstanding, I can definitely see the Mig 3 in there. Very beautiful aircraft, would love to see this in real bricks. Keep up the good work.

Nice design and great build! Even if it can not deny its influences, the shape is very original. Hope to see it with true bricks.

Good work and the speed is a tad fast but engine's like those merlin's can easily be tailored for faster speed,Not gonna say anything bad or what I think you need to improve because I dont want you taking it the wrong way.But the design is great,I see alot of Yak-3,La-7 and P-40 in this plane

Quoting Commodore Boris the active one Again, you have a client in us. Could you make a strategic bomber? :P
I don't really know if a bombers on my plate right now, but you can be sure I'll make one eventually. In order my production is WWII dive/torpedo bomber, F-24, A-6, and then bomber.

Quoting Commodore Boris the active one I definitely see the P-51, not so much the P-40 though. I agree win the others about speed, I suggest 450-470. I would also suggest a four if five bladed propeller, give it more lift. I like all the color schemes, great work!
I suppose I should update that, even though the stats don't matter unless somebody orders some.

I have to agree, the stated speed is one that Ultramarrine probably won't accept, but the build is excellent.
