As usual, Helijah has done a fantastic job with the 3D model of the aircraft, and GIT users can take full advantage of the new fuselage reflection effect which Helijah has added to this model. The canopy opens and closes, and the pilot's head moves around. Although these features may seem insignificant, they do add to the overall experience of flying this already beautiful aircraft. | As usual, Helijah has done a fantastic job with the 3D model of the aircraft, and GIT users can take full advantage of the new fuselage reflection effect which Helijah has added to this model.

There are, however, some minor issues with the 3D model. The model has afterburners, while the real P-59 did not, and tracers fired from the guns of this aircraft do not behave like their real life counterparts. (The muzzle velocities of the guns have not been modelled correctly) | There are, however, some minor issues with the 3D model.
