There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Beautiful modeling and texture work too!
But:
Prop
Upper intake.
Lower intake.
Frame behind pilot inside canopy.
Cowl size.
Cowl shape? (dunno if you consider that a "difference")
Engines are different as well as the casing/shield connecting it to the prop.
That nub in front of the canopy is different.
Exhaust port is different.
Some black spot on the wing that I don't see on the earlier model, but, I don't know if this is due to a difference in the paint. Also a black spot/port above the wing root that I don't see in the later model. But, the later model has the black paint there so I can't tell if it has it.
Early model has a leading edge wing light that the later model doesn't have.
Anyways, that was the 5 minute tour of what I saw. I assume, since you are the boss of the project, that you will enlighten us to the rest? Gotta go to sleep!
Here is the list that I came up with.
1. Aeroproducts two-bladed propeller instead of Hamilton Standard three-bladed
2. Higher profile canopy
3. Turnover truss behind front seat (the A shaped assembly behind the pilot)
4. Wright Cyclone R-1300 800hp 7 cylinder engine instead of R-1820 1425hp 9 cylinder
5. Overall smaller nose cowling
6. Two exhaust pipes instead of three
7. Exhaust deflector behind exhaust exit (very small and hard to see)
8. No airintake on top of engine cowling
9. Longer air intake on lower left hand engine cowling
10. No gun camera on inboard left wing
11. Passing light on left wing leading edge
12. Different paint scheme
Internal differences (which you wouldn't be able to see in the pics) are :
No supercharger handle on the throttle quadrant (R-1300 is only a single stage supercharger compared to the two stage of the R-1820)
Different green, yellow and red limit markings on the MP, RPM, CHT, Oil temp gauges due to different engines.
Lighter weight (not by much though).
And of course the Attack version has only two weapons stations compared to the 6 in the D.
