I think I gave you 15 upvotes, I lost count so it might be more or less. If its less I will give you a few more. Im also unable to spotlight, so sorry.
This is the winning design, great job!
It has too many parts
@Yourlocalhuman Sorry that I missed your comment for a year ago. Ofcourse, feel free to improve this plane. Any way I am tinking to revisit this build and improve it on my own too.
@SkyJayTheFirst Yes, of course inspired by BV and Sunderland - but this was a freehand build form imagination
Almost thought this was a Bv-238, at first, lol.
Fascinating...!
Wow
@Rework Thank you so much for the spot, lol, you are the only one so far
@WinsWings ok
I was building loosely out of my imagination with the mixed influence of the real planes that I saw. I haven't laid out any blueprints and followed except the Vickers VC10 @ChamDel78
I nearly thought it was replica
@WinsWings its fine lol, keep up the great work!
@NobleMobileUser Thank you so much. It was a fun challenge and learn new staff while creating this. (Sorry for my late reply, I did a reply but for some reason, it doesn't appear on the web)
