This is it, the end of the road. Every journey come to an end. Now it’s test flights and pint schemes. I have learned a great deal from this project, and I can’t wait to start another airframe model. Anyways, here is the complete journey in one post:
Day one, found the airframe picture:
Don’t mind it’s low detail, it looks much better on my laptop.
Completed scale model:
Working on rear fuselage interior:
Week 2 picture:
Rear Fuselage detailing done:
Skin test 1:
About halfway done with the wings:
Almost done with the wings:
Wings covered and completed:
Tail scaling:
Equipment!
Week three!
It flys! (At least it does for a bit before crashing)
Almost done:
Completed airframe:
Working on cockpit:
Cockpit complete!
Completed build:
It has been the journey. Personally, the wings gave me the hardest time. Anyways, ask me anything in the comments if you want. Also, here are some tips for building complete airframes.
- Uses no drag parts: Trust me, it makes it so much easier on the game and to fly.
- Take it at a slow pace: It’s easy to get overwhelmed by large projects like this. Just take a nice deep breath and spend a few weeks on it.
- Scale it first: It basically gives you a roadmap to follow when building the aircraft.
That’s all for today. I will be building another airframe model. When posting the A-20, I will include a google form where you can vote on my next build (All aircraft were suggested by fellow community members via discord). Hope you all have a great day or night. See you all later!
PS. I wonder if I am able to 3D print this?
Also, where is my IOS gang?
Thank you all who followed along and help with the builds. Special thanks to @blackboa with his help with the turret, @planeboy3 with his help with the yoke, and all those who helped me with xml parts!
@PlanePlaneThe66373637 yeah you should make an A-20
Just incase
Do i still need to build an A20 havoc? Its been 10 months @UtsuhoReiuji
@Mercyaircraftcorporation iOS gang here, ready to be deployed via these beautiful A-20s
Oh yes, I built the entire airframe of a WW2 bomber on iOS with a complete interior and airframe, which is something that has only be attempted before by a SP community member, but I forgot to make the fuel realistic. Know what, I’ll tell you this. I have spent over 75 hours on this project. I have adjusted every single part in this build with the nudge tool on 1 so it would be perfect. Fuel is one of my smallest concerns. I’m sorry the fuel is unrealistic and that you are unable to see the picture as a whole. With the a near exact airframe, that was my least concern. So, I challenge you to build an exact airframe of the A-20 Havoc better than this. You cannot use this one and must start completely from scratch. You can not use any saved parts from previous builds and must ask others for xml parts. After that, you can come here and complain about a choice I purposely made.
Sincerely, Mercy Aircraft Corporation.

Yuck unrealistic fuel
Glad I could help with this glorious project. Awesome job.
Notices a quite truly magnificent build OwO What's this?
Thank you @MrPorg137
Wow. Just wow. This is absolutely, positively incredible!
