A bit tricky to take off with, recommend revving up engine on ground before relocating to an air spawn.
Based on illustrations and models of what seems to be the naval variant of the Zeppelin Staaken, credited as one of the very first strategic bombers in history, seeing service in the imperial German army and navy towards the end of World War One.

the amount of time needed for the paint...damn...
good lord..
That Warpaint is legendary!
I’ve upvoted as it’s a First World War bomber which is refreshing. I’ve spotlighted for the 4K+ Parts audacity and ambition at re-creating that camo scheme, bloody good job!
So there are a few problems with this aircraft, mainly that it barely flies. The camo, as godlike as it is, has caused many problems since you did not remove its weight or drag. That’s why this plane is heavier than a modern day airliner and has more drag than an apartment block. If the camo parts were made without drag or mass, it would fly decently as well making this one of the coolest planes that’s been on the site in a while. Nevertheless, the effort put into this is evident and very impressive. For the sheer look of the aircraft, you did an excellent job and had the camo been removed, I bet it would fly well too
Jesus Christ.
@GlargiBoo Around a day and a half to put together the pattern and apply it, both a .05 thick version to apply to fuselage pieces and a .25 version that would show on both sides of wing pieces
@GlargiBoo a looooooooooooooooooooooong time I assume
FOR HOW LONG DID YOU DO THAT ?
