WoWP models: Chance-Vought XF5U

And here it is. A fun little plane that was not that fun to try and squeeze with the workshop file size limitations, but I think that's just gonna be standard for all WoWP models.

A prop of the Chance-Vought XF5U as it appears in World of WarPlanes.

Contains two models, XF5U-1 with smaller propellers, and XF5U with larger ones.
Ailerons, rudder, elevator, wheels and propellers can be moved with a bone/joint tool.

Chance-Vought XF5U "Flying Flapjack"

An experimental round-wing fighter developed by Charles H. Zimmerman from the earlier Vought V-173 "Flying Pancake". It's unorthodox design required an unusual propeller assembly, with the propellers on the sides of the actual engine. Despite being highly promising, the project was cancelled in favor of Jet-powered aircraft. Notably, the plane was so solid, that demolishing it required use of a wrecking ball.
