A-37 Dragonfly [1:72]

The Cessna A-37 Dragonfly is a light attack aircraft derived from the T-37 Tweet. It features twin General Electric J85-GE-17A turbojets, each producing ~2,850 lbf of thrust. With reinforced wings, six underwing hardpoints, and an internal 7.62mm GAU-2B/A minigun, it was optimized for COIN (counter-insurgency) missions, possessing a max takeoff weight of ~14,000 lbs, and a combat radius around 460 km. The A-37 was known for its agility, loiter time, and rugged short-field performance during the Vietnam War. To assemble: Remove all supports, being especially careful with the smaller subcomponents of the plane.

The rear landing gear assemblies are different, and they should be placed so that the higher side of the landing gear cover is towards the front of the plane. For the support: I am experimenting with a new type of support brace for tripod gear pla
