Short Seaham MkII 8.5

228k RamboJutter  5.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on RamboJutter's Short Hartlepool MkI 5.9

An evolution of the Short Sunderland, similar flying characteristics but longer range and larger load capacity, it was designed as a half-way house between the Sunderland and the Hartlepool to fill a gap in requirements prior to the jet age. The fuselage was used extensively in the Hartlepool jet successor which can be seen here.

IMPORTANT: USE AG3 TO OPEN BOMB BAYS AND THEN AG4-6 TO DROP BOMBS, dont manually drop bombs otherwise big-bad-a-BOOM!

AG1 for flaps
AG7 for turrets which have their own cameras.

    @DestinyAviation yeah it ended up thinner than I would have liked but it's so long that a matching width would have lead to a very strange cockpit etc. Thanks for the comment and upvote.

    Looks great! The fuselage is pretty skinny, but I love the other design elements!

    @Tang0five bv238 was bigger (intentionally) Vickers type c was also bigger (by accident....) Oh and my flying battleship was also huge but barring them ;) it's a shame your device won't run it as it's nice to fly, does about 250mph like the Sunderland but tootles around v nicely.

    @Tang0five thanks man, but now I have to go check all my builds... I think the b229 was bigger (or my take on the concept anyway), I did build a Valkerie but didn't post it.

    @LOWEWAYY have you tried camo? Or building a 120ft flying boat? The wing tips alone are 32 parts, the gun turrets on the side are 35ish parts, it all adds up.

    This is a rather large beautiful bird! Incidentally is this your biggest build in terms of dimensions?

    @LOWEWAYY no idea, the bomb bays are 440 parts, so remove them and you still have 800 parts.
