Damn
@windshifter1 Can I make a fishing boat out of your patrol boat??????
:O :D
@Karroc9522 See the pinned comment
@windshifter1 Sounds about right!
@windshifter1 that makes sense.
@TheMouse Last minute panic kicked in when I realised that it was the very last day before the deadline and the cockpit was still completely untouched
@TheMouse Thanks! You know I literally did the entire cockpit in the last few hours of the challenge? I procrastinated a little too much, and was forced to work on it straight from 9:00pm until like 3 in the morning just to finish it in time for the deadline the following day.
@Karroc9522 The intial design, the WR-21 Sky Sentinel has a lot of resemblance to the F/A-18. This one has been changed quite considerably, but perhaps from the top it still looks similar?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Yes, thats correct. I'm pretty sure the WR-21 participated in the entirety of the first M-War
@windshifter1
For sure, its super smooth and nice looking.
did it take some inspiration from the f18? it look really cool imo
@windshifter1 I could be wrong, but that guy was in M-War (the first one) right?
@TheMouse I'm glad you like it! I was trying to make it appropriate for a 6th gen fighter. Do you think it fits?
@SupremeDorian Thanks!
@windshifter1 yup, there you go
Thats really cool!
I love how the inside of the cockpit is, it’s a really great design.
It will be cool to see how the challenge goes.
@deutschFELLA The initial WR-21 Sky Sentinel design was somewhat similar to the F/A-18, but this new overhaul has removed most of that resemblance.
@LunarEclipseSP I know, I know 😅
I've been exceptionally preoccupied; MSFS24, personal life, modding for SP, and so on. Don't worry, I have no intention of leaving the simpleplanes community anytime soon, only that I don't post all that often. I'm still online daily though!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Yes, its an updated version of the original WR-21
@deutschFELLA Silent Hornet
Someone strapped in some stealth technology to an f-18 and added canards.
Darn mate where the heck have you been?
Sky Sentinel II!
