@Gravity your challenge is too specific. Not many people know how to make tracks. Trainers, on the other hand, are common, relatively easy to make, and popular. Secret is in picking the theme.
@Nikaki2004 it looks nice. A bit too much late 20th century stuff for a WW2 plane, but still, very good looking. You can post pictures by getting their direct link (ends with jpg or other format) and putting it like .
Someone took inspiration from a model you made by mixing up some kits? I'd love to see that model. I've seen a few such models online before, and they are usually nice.
@ThunderscreechEngineering no problem. The thing with the keel that someone mentioned is to give lengthwise rigidity to the ship. But, like on planes, surface providing longitudinal stability must be at stern, like fins on a dart.
@BMilan helicopter needs yaw stability in forward flight just like a fixed wing aircraft. That's probably what caused yaw problem from the start. When helicopter tilts forward, without vertical stabilizer, tail tries to swing forward.
@Fiin hyperplane isn't realistic by todays standarts. If you have read the rules, you would have known that. So, even if I disrigard everything else, the plane misses the theme of the challenge.
@ShatSlanger scimitar props are designed for transonic speed. It is possible to make a prop go faster than the speed of sound, but it would have so much drag, it wouldn't be practical. Around 700km/h is where jets are becoming more efficient than props.
@plane918273645 I can't test it now. It looks good so far, but not quite done. I suggest you go with thicker wings, bigger engine pods, and landing gear in those engine pods. If you don't know how to do it, I can help with some tips in a few hours. I'm currently busy. If you need tips, tag me on unlisted.
The cockpit is a bit rough, but I'm not good at making those myself. The rest of the plane looks nice. I hope it'll have custom, or at least visible control surfaces. I hate it when they clip through the fuselage blocks.
It's very nice, especially for a first build. Artillery is not really my area, so only advice I can give you is to say something about the build in description. A bit of history and instructions for example.
Can you add some details to get it to 150 parts? Challenge asks for between 150 and 1000 parts. I could make an exception, but a few more details is always a plus
Interesting design. I like that inlet. However, I think you should have invested a bit more into details and paint scheme. It looks like a plane at the factory before being painted.
CL-415 is too popular to be made in just two schemes. I've found yellow and black ones on Google, as well as gray (like military aircraft), and orange and green. Even an entirely red one with some details.
@RamboJutter Found angles that show best views of the plane. All the details, size, ... Although, it could use more details to showcase, and black and yellow compliment this plane far better than red and white.
@F104Deathtrap I'll be judging when I close the challenge.
@F104Deathtrap that's nice
@Deiaa it's nice, but it's an attacker/fighter, not trainer.

Ok, I'll move the deadline to 25th. Too many good builds are running behind schedule. I'll make an announcement.
@STlegacyAircraft no problem
I like chilli on pretty much everything that's not supposed to be sweet.

You are the first moderator whose username doesn't start with "S" who created a mod before you were mod, @Tully2001
Congrats, @Tully2001

One unit is half a meter.
Thanks for the entry

You need a very big vertical stabilizer near the stern. Or multiple stabilizers.
@BMilan helicopter needs yaw stability in forward flight just like a fixed wing aircraft. That's probably what caused yaw problem from the start. When helicopter tilts forward, without vertical stabilizer, tail tries to swing forward.
I forgot to check, is vertical stabilizer actual wing piece or structural panel? I can't test it right now.
@Fiin no problem

@jaredgamer Pucara was inspiration for this one. I'm glad you like it.
@ShatSlanger yup

@SledDriver I'm glad appreciation is mutual :)

Yes. You can look through my builds. There's one old hydrofoil boat among them. I'm lazy to look for it now.
The cockpit is a bit rough, but I'm not good at making those myself. The rest of the plane looks nice. I hope it'll have custom, or at least visible control surfaces. I hate it when they clip through the fuselage blocks.
@amazingperson124 that part is true.
@amazingperson124 nah, it has never been a problem. If a copy gains some attention, someone recognizes it and it gets removed.
Looks a lot like this ship. Maybe you can snatch some details form it. I like the way you made bow.
@Minecraftpoweer no problem. I wish you more followers.
Call me next time. I have a bush plane in my FunSeries :)

Happy birthday. Great job on this boat. My only complaint is: it could use a few cameras inside, so we can enjoy the interior details.

Most amazing. M.Corp is proud to have a number of these in its navy.
"Niggel N-26 Deer"?

Great job. However, you could have done better with screen shots. They aren't clickbaity enough.
@M4A4Firefly lol
@Alien no problem
A moderator "nuked" the post. That removes or hides comments and upvotes. It happens when comment section becomes ugly.
@WNP78 hey, that's just how much I wanted to reveal! XD
Nice. Great name too :)
Put a fuselage block on a rotator, put a piece of wing on it, and nudge everything together. There's really not much wisdom to it.
@F104Deathtrap no problem. Can't wait to see your entry.
