Right. One issue. I cant download the challenge due to it being over 1000 parts. I get a “this will brick your phone” warning. This makes it impossible for me to make mine a successor. Wound you be willing to accept my entry if I upload it and tag you in the comments? @Connster3
@Awsomur No, silly. I used the word bloody instead of the words I would have liked to have used, which would have probably gotten me banned form here and quietly removed form the Internet.
Words like F*, C^^^^, M'F* and so on.
Thanks for the Oxyclean tip, though. I will go out and try it forthwith.
@GINGER01 Thanks! If I remember correctly, this one was the first operational 4 engine "heavy" in the RAF inventory. Not necessarily the best (it was removed from front line bombing duties by 1943) but being first counts for something, am i right?
What can I say? If I built models for the upvotes then I would have quit a long time ago. But the support of those folks who see what I do and appreciate it is most welcome. Thanks! @BACconcordepilot
This is very promising - a few issues, though;
1. The wings are a wee bit off in shape - not enough chord.
2. The forward fuselage is a tiny bit off - the engine inlets are a bit "squashed"
3. The Harrier isn't a tricycle - it has a bicycle undercarriage with small wheels on the wings.
But you have more right than wrong - and I love the ROYAL NAVY text!
Many thanks.
As for the Linc... Sorry, old boy. Im now on to bigger and better things. Well... bigger anyway. Shorter wings... Longer most definitely. Maybe not better, either. But definitely more of the same... Named after a town in bonny Scotland, too... @Tang0five
I think the most interesting here (apart from the fact that this is going to be a nice XB-70) for me is the way you use markers to keep the proportions of your model. I intend to shamelessly steal this technique. Many thanks.
I know, right? Im lucky in that my employer gives me ICT equipment. My work laptop isntvtoo bad, but I got this iPhone6 second hand from an employee that left just before I started. Time for an upgrade soon, methinks. @ChiChiWerx
Yep. I hear you. My first SE.5a build did this. Turned out that the undercarriage had several tons of dead weight, for no apparent reason... @sheepsblood
@ChiChiWerx Many thanks. Don't ask me how, but this one just kinda "fell" together. I guess I'm maybe getting a bit more systematic in my building and using techniques I know work? Either way, I'm very pleased with how this came out.
Thanks! This one involved a lot of fiddling, sweating, swearing, RSI and Simpleplanes crashingvback to home screen... I might actually need a new phone, as someone here aluded to... @ChiChiWerx
@ Tang0five
Have you had a chance to try her out yet? Whats your thoughts?
Spotlighted, upvoted, wink, nod, pat on the back and so on.
Christ. Thats beautiful. Also, while Im here, many thanks for the bomb cannon tutorial. Very good job, that.
@MEERKAT978 cheers!
@Tang0five many thanks, chum. As always I appreciate your support!
@Connster3 Here it is. Hope it meets your criteria as a challenge entrant?
@Tang0five Credit where credit is due, old boy.
Keep this up and you'll be spotlighting me soon.

Im in.
YES! Nicely done matey! @Baldeagle086
Bingo bango, old bean. @Tang0five
@EternalDarkness Yeah, sorry! I was a little imprecise. It was an aerial gunship challenge.
@doge Yep. Correct. You havent seen it, have you? It was a user who just cracked silver. Cant remember the name...
Oh touche, good sir.
Now help me find the sodding challenge. @Awsomur

@Tang0five Many thanks old chap. A better blurb will be forthcoming shortly.

Maybe because I double posted? Sorry! Im a clutz. @BACconcordepilot
I like.
VTOL?
Check!
Roundels?
Check!
Upvote imminent...
Very nicely executed. Low part count too. Nice.
@niggelas100 Genau!
Das is en hervorragend flugzeug.
Also that roll rate. Sweet jesus.
Das Würger ist spitze.
Sehr spitze. Das ist sehr gut.

Good job!
I love this model. But just to be clear. You're getting my upvote for writing a description that contains the phrase "Posterior gnarr".
Very well done.
@ChiChiWerx "Wait for the X" ha ha! I genuinely think that Apple believe their customers are stupid sometimes...
Could very well be... Unless someone moved Halifax... @Tang0five
Many thanks.

I couldnt say? Im not really a tech guy. Plus im in Norway (but originally from Scotland). Im seriously eyeing an iPad pro, though...@ChiChiWerx
If only, matey, if only...
Thanks. Im happy youre enjoying her. @Jerushah
Thanks. My next project is proving to be dam hard to bust... if you get my meaning, Guy...@Tang0five
@Dzeta8
@EternalDarkness
Many thanks.

Roger that, old chap. Dont forget to check out the B.1 standard too! @Tang0five

Achtung! Das ist vunderbar!
Very nice.
I find this inspiring. And lovely. Very lovely.
@WalrusAircraft I think it is time to schedule an "accident" for this handset...
Wait - you can run this on an iPhone 7? I have an iPhone 6 and my 400 part Shackleton makes steam come out of the headphone jack...
Maybe I DO need a new phone... Time to read up on the company IT policy...
Bugger! I wanted to build one of these. Now I dont need to; this is lovely. Also not a Boeing. Bonus points and a jaffa cake for that.
Cheers! Maybe a Sunderland next? Or a Shack AEW.2 (the tail dragger). @Tang0five
Thanks! This one involved a lot of fiddling, sweating, swearing, RSI and Simpleplanes crashingvback to home screen... I might actually need a new phone, as someone here aluded to... @ChiChiWerx
Cheers very muchly. I did promise you roundels, props and fin flashes... @Tang0five
Worth the upvote simply for the description. Wonderful.
Very nice.
