Hey, great build! ( Like all your planes, that’s the reason why I am following you now :) ).
Red baron shivers his timbers upon seeing this plane
@RASEN1914 the RAF wasn't founded yet in that time it would be the RFC royal Flying corps
@RASEN1914 ok
@Daylight Im working on a remaster of my old Gotha G.IV bomber
Wow this is actually cool and i have a request ok my request is to make a bomber ww1 ver german pls
@RASEN1914 I have to admit something...
This is a really cool build! You added a lot of detail that makes this plane look incredible
I love this thing. It’s soo fun to fly around with stick and rudder while shooting the crap out of your Albatros. Would you consider making a 1:1 Fokker DR.1 with realistic maneuverability?
@Aarons123 sweet! I'm very grateful and honored!
Thank you very much guys!
I was going through the users bit of the site and it turns out that your the highest rated gold user so, nice?
Nice low part count detailed build
This really looks magnificent cutting around the sky!
@Treadmill103 @Vanilla1c3 Thanks! It took me nearly 4 months to make this plane fly smoothly, and realistic. I think it have a lot of work to do, so, maybe i'll upload a new version of this one (long term project)...
This plane was a huge pain in the ass... i have to restart it 3 times :P
