Rumanian fighters

as we have now the marvelous looking Odessa map
how it is about to have a "second" look behind the rumanian fighterseries IAR 80/81

it would be nice to get a IAR 80A for the 1941 operations.
these variant was more often build as the IAR 80 AFAIK.
the difference would be to have 6x .303 MGs instead 4 and to have a normal REVI , like already in the two 81 fighterbombers.
3D work would not be needed, the third gunbarrel would not look out of the wing , "just" a new skin would be needed , and as said, the cockpit could be used from the IAR 81s

ammoload seems to high for the .303 MGs, now it is 1000rounds per gun !!
500rounds should be more correct..........................

and if this small fighter could carry 250rounds per gun for its MG151/20 in the IAR 81C ?!?!?


its not important, just if someone in TD has the interest and the time as this lovely small fighter has now with the map found its "huntingground"


EDIT:
found this site aboutt he IAR 80
http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazin..._eng_iar80.htm

looks like i was wrong in thinking the 6gun variant was more often build than the 4gun one............ anyway, would be a nice to have
it says 600rpg in the IAR 80
and 400rpg in the IAR 81 for the light MGs.

the actual 350rpg in the IAR81A for its heavy MGs seems correct , even in game it is modelled as the MG131 not a "13,2mm" Browning.

and the ammoload for a the ICARIA 20mm canons of the first IAR81C is announced with 120 rpg , so i guess a MG151/20 armed should also have 120rpg.

and btw:
