KONSTFLYG-8 : Golden Swede

5,850 FarrowTECH  1.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on FarrowTECH's KONSTFLYG-8 : The Great Swede

i made a sport plane representing Sweden... kinda.

this is the longest time I've spent on a design and the most detail I've put into one BAR NONE. 2 hours a day, 3 months. but its finally at a point where I'm happy enough with it that yall will be happy with it.

ABOUT

The Konstflyg-8 is an imaginary aircraft that started its life as a sharpie drawing on a hunk of Styrofoam used to center a missile cone in a shipping crate at work. from then to messing with the new blocks until i had something solid, a few months of try try and try again, eventually the monstrosity set before you is what came of my obsession.

FEATURES

-wide SAAB esque cockpit and panoramic Canopy

-vr friendly interior

-intuitive AG input usage

-swedish things

-yaw that works

-detailed engine bay

-and more... i think, probably.

-the umlaut above the O will show up after downloading or playing the craft. SP just barely supports foreign symbols.

ive got a few more ideas as far as making more planes of this variety (single seater sport planes) and unlike alot of people i will actually make each one unique and not just a recolor for ez points.

this looks like a good spot to shill my challenge, theres a month left. check it out. theres cash prizes. for real.

AAAAaaanywho, thanks for sticking with me all the way to gold, even after disappearing for almost 2 years, although im not super popular so nobody probably noticed. but thanks :)

    @Nightgems also the number and website are both real things Sweden has. and you might've noticed the fine print on the Saab and IKEA logos.
