RJ MB 5.5 10.8

228k RamboJutter  11 months ago
Auto Credit Based on RamboJutter's 12th October 2021 not an MB5 10.4

Introduction

So i recently saw someone else convert a P-51 to a jet, novel idea, so what could I convert to a jet from my catalogue of builds... MB5, why not!

Utilising my original MB5 build I proceeded to change the nose, the rear, actually fixed the dials... and a few other tweaks but the majority is the same as the original build.

Faster than the original it still functions like an early jet with a decently long takoff run etc. Trim is a necesity now for different speeds as the thrust lines have changed from the original.

    @asteroidbook345 Im glad someone else thought so, it is an MB5 in nature but once it turned into a jet it definately resembles a thin Attacker =)
