The winner is @WinsWings plane the Martin-something or other lol
I am glad that you like it. Thanks @NobleMobileUser
@WinsWings Its one of my favorite downloads. I love how it feels huge---It flies like a plane that size would. plus it looks very nice. Iirc you mentioned possibly a better remake of it?
@5cmPak38aufPzKpfwIISfl901 sure
@NobleMobileUser Thank you so much. It was fun and this is one of the largest planes I have built. It was a challenge because of its size. So I have to edit so many times to get it to take off nicely from water.
@NobleMobileUser ah damnit... well, it won't be rated worth anything, but i have a submission if you'd be interested in checking it out?
@5cmPak38aufPzKpfwIISfl901 It ended last night
what is the Deadline?
My plane is up now, successor issue has solved.
Finally, my plane is uploaded.
The plane i am making is quite big (unintentional, I swear) so I had to figure out some things
@NobleMobileUser that would be enough, thank you!
I will finish it before the deadline
@Sakorsky It depends for how much more time you need. It will probably take a couple days to judge entries anyway, so would the 2 extra days work for you or do you need more?
Hey my plane will be ready to upload late, is that okay? I got some other things I need to do.
Plus, I reduced my screen time so I basically sometimes forgot about it.
I am building a pretty large one, started yesterday. Lol, I hope I will meet the deadline. @beasthunter
I have my plane's body built, just 8 more days and I can complete it.
@MemrWii Hmmm, Im going to say yeah, stuff like ship launched fighters and float fighters. Just so long as it fits criteria
@AnHNWhiteCornet sorry for the late response, yes that would be fine so long as it fits the criteria
I can build something in ten days, I’m gonna join. So many designs to choose from. Maybe something like a Supermarine Walrus.
Would a land based airship like the US Navy K-Class count? It did serve as a anti-submarine patrol aircraft
Maybe adding a maritime patrol aircraft in my arsenal would be cool....
ok, im in. just getting it under 325 parts is by itself a challange
can a fighter be considered patrol?
@Sakorsky hell yeah! Your seaplanes were good, i wanna see how you will make another one :3
I uploaded mine!
Time to join
