Winners of the Cold War Challenge

256k WinsWings  one year ago

Congratulations to the winners

of the Cold War Challenge -

https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/A80RXW/Cold-War-Challenge-50-450-parts-CLOSED

I encourage you all to visit their page and upvotes them if you like the builds. Some like Hunter-F6 was so under rated. But in reality it is a WOW plane - realistic engine performance, lots of detailed mechanical parts - go see them.

1st Place

Hawker-Hunter-F-6 by @Mr Panzer

realistic and detailed cockpit, speed increases realistically to around March 0.9 (which also matching with the historical facts), extra weapons, so many detailed moving parts. This plane was so under rated, may be - because of lack of attractive photos. I will take some screenshots later if I can.

2nd Place

General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark

Wings and movings parts were build so nicely. Also one of the best plane to fly

3rd Place

QAS T20 Gavilan by @QuesoAirlines

King of XML, also fun to fly

    @WinsWings you are honestly right it is lacking in photos and I was on a trip recently so I wasn't able to add more. Thank you for the challenge it was extremely fun and helped me learn some new building techniques. I also think everyone else also did a wonderful job and I can't wait for next time!

    @WinsWings hey I completely get that! I just finished my challenge, and it is very hard lol. At least you honor those ones! Not many people do that, so it is very appreciated. Your challenge got a lot of recognition, and that's outstanding!!

    @MrPanzer I am glad that you like it. You did a great job and deserve it. I have less interest when I saw the thumbnail at first. Sorry - that's why we say "Do not judge the book by it's cover"

    @LieutenantSOT That is a lot to me, really happy to know that. It is very hard to judge, and I try my best. I wish everyone happy.

    @KmsErikaMaid I thought you are getting first place for a long time - I really like the wings and moving components - But I have to honor the Hawker Hunter since some realistic engine tuneups (speed) and detailed cockpit passed a few points. But THANK YOU for your great work. A great plane. If you add a detailed cockpit, please tag me.

    I'm quite happy if you like it, I made it very ambitious and searched for a lot of information about the plane until I was carried away by dreams while I was sleeping :v

    @LieutenantSOT It was so hard to choose. Some planes got more votes (Like Myasischev-M50 which I posted to honor all other players who join the challenge) but some undervote planes are also so cool with amazing features and fun. So I have to go one by one. Thanks!
