@AviownCorp Its not so hard. You build each part separately: instrument panel, chair, stick, throtle, pedals. Then each part gets attached to a small "anchor" block that gets nudged away (but still attached). You then grab it by the anchor block, attach that to the plane and carefully nudge the peices into place. Finetuner can do most of the work, but some people position it all by hand. Then nudge the anchor blocks inside the fuselage where no one can see them.
@Megaplanesinc Yellow pride fo sho. (God, I hope ppl don't start thinking we're being racist). A trimotor would be pretty cool, like the one from Indiana Jones. But I've got some wild American racers planned next.
@MethaManAircraft It takes me about 3 weeks to make a plane, so I try to stick to making stuff I absolutely love. I've tried promising planes to people before and the results were disappointing. I can help out a little here and there on other peoples builds, but I'm not at a point where I can take on whole projects for people.
@BogdanX Good points I will keep in mind on my next build! Yes, the plane is much more aerobatic than the real one. In reality she had wing loading close to a Spitfire, but the tapered wingtips lead to wingdrops in hard turns, very dangerous. I'm really pleased you like her, and thanks for the spotlight!
@Ephwurd I make replicas, but I try to put an outrageous amount of effort into it and mostly stick to stuff that hasn't been on the front page in a long, long time.
Scifi builds like this deserve more love than they get.
@Sgtk Oh yeah man! I love a good Tiger build. Tried to make one myself but it was a mess. At a time when planes were big, expensive, hard to use and overrated, this little guy was getting it done the right way.
@aerodummy Not enough details. I know it's hard to make complicated stuff on an iPhone, but if you want to improve then you have to improve your level of detail. I can upload a set of modded parts you can download and use, and I'm sure there are plenty already available, but more importantly, more detail means it will take a lot longer to build.
@Awsomur Arrrgh. My wife says the same thing! I actually like the refitted version of NCC-1701 from The Motion Picture. The one with pinball-flipper nacelles. Not my fave movie by a longshot, but my favorite looking ship.

@AviownCorp Thank you, sir!

@TheDepressedPig Thanks Pig! I hope you're feeling better! We miss you around here.
@CRJ900Pilot Reworded. Good call.
@VerySaltySniper No need to thank us, one for all and all for one XD
@Megaplanesinc Wooohooo
@aircraftarsenal123 Thanks, I'm glad you like her.

@VerySaltySniper Nah, whenever people need ideas, I expose them to Belphegor. They usually decide anything would be better and set to work building.
@AviownCorp Thanks, I appreciate the support
+1@BaconAircraft Thanks for the support, Bacon
@VerySaltySniper Oh seeing it is only the beginning...
@Strikefighter04 Oh yeah. Belphegor time, baby!
@Tang0five Hey, thanks man. I appreciate that.
Talk about modified!
@Mumpsy Thanks for the spotlight!
@CRJ900Pilot Thanks, dude
@MethaManAircraft D.W.1 is quite a looker, but I just did two Brit racers in a row. Gonna have to do some Yank planes.
+1@Strikefighter04 Apparently. I haven't seen the movie, but I did read that in the "Appearances in media" section of the wikipedia article.
+1@CaesiciusPlanes Thanks for the spotlight
@Flightsimulator Thanks
@GermanWarMachine That is exactly why I made it. Glad you're pleased.
@AdlerSteiner Well she looks great, looking forward to it. And thanks for the spotlight, too!
@PhantomBladeCorp Thanks for the support!
Impressive as ever
Big boat. Type IX?
@BogdanX Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to try her out
@Chancey21 Sure thing. It may take me a day to get in front of my PC to work on it tho.
@Sgtk Hahahaha, thanks!

@Davisplanez XD
@CarsonG1017 @aircraftarsenal123 Ok, finished version is here. I hope you guys like it.
@SSSvaSSa Dang, you're fast!
@getorge Sure sure, keep up the good work!
+1Typo in the winner link. Awesome challenge, great planes all around!
@Storm41 Thanks!

+2Welcome to SimplePlanes
@Caveman999 And so, yellow I remain.
+1@Alpha029 Cyborgs, man. They walk among us!
+2@Alpha029 That's quite a big assumption, don't you think?
+2@BACconcordepilot Same. Yellow pride, brother!
+1@Tully2001 Don't forget this little classic!
@Sgtk Oh yeah man! I love a good Tiger build. Tried to make one myself but it was a mess. At a time when planes were big, expensive, hard to use and overrated, this little guy was getting it done the right way.
+1Weird. I like it!
Woah.

+1Not my fave Enterprise but this is certainly one of the best looking builds I've seen.
