Not necessary, got one myself, only forgot about it. Nice pics, though, and interesting feature I didn't realize before.

P.11 had fuel tank?Where?

Every airplane that's not a glider or powered by electricity has a fuel tank

It is awesome that such a plane (P-11c) could survive war to be now in a aero museum. Is it original or a replica?

It is the only one original P-11 in the world. And it is in air museum in Kraków in Poland. It engine still work

And P-11 had dropable fuel tank IRL. If fuel tank get fire pilot could drop it.


Also there is a project to bulit P-11 flyable replica in Poland. Maby some day we could see it in the air.


In 4.10 patch there will be improved P-11 model with new DM hit boxes and i hope FM also.

@kwiatek: do you know who is trying to build this replica and whether it's possible to support them?

@TD: you guys are amazing! great to see someone still working on the P.11 - just to be clear, does it also have updated (higher-res) internal cockpit views or is it just external fixes? either way, great that this is being done - look forward to flying it!!!

Yes. However, it's not the first with that feature. The Polish PWS-10 also had a drop-able main fuel tank.



Who originally came up with the idea is anyone's guess.

As for the wing guns, it would seem like a relatively easy addition - delete the barrels, flatten the blisters, adjust the skin to reflect the changes (I'm sure the blisters use "lighting" illusion enhancement) and modify the weight/balance of the guns and ammo (I don't know any details there).

To tide you over till we get the go-ahead for posting the full guide here's a part of the documentation for 4.10. Just some historical notes for mission makers who want to make historical missions for the Henschel Hs 129.
