Cheers! I think I would need another 200 parts or so to really do her justice. But this is an adequate place holder until someone does better. Your nose is awesome, btw. @F104Deathtrap
Oh this is just my cup of tea. I do, however, have a monster of a SP project on the go right now, so might struggle to find time to take part. I love the decor in your foyer, too.
Thanks matey! The lanc was my first serious attempt at a «proper» replica, built on an iPhone6. Ive since gotten an iPhone8 and learned a wee bit about how to build interiors/wings/custom bits (gear, control surfaces, gun sights etc). Although doing a «proper» Folland Gnat is sort of tempting, too...@Tang0five
Im not too sure; Im thinking about taking a fresh dig at the Lancaster, since Ive gotten a better iPhone and learned a thing or two since my first attempt. Or maybe another jet. This kite here is bloody epic. I really like the canopy frame detailing. @Tang0five
Sweet beans as Mr. RailfanEthan likes to say. I think in this context that is a good thing. I also got a hint of Clancy from the description too. Good stuff!
Many thanks! Im glad that the old girl holds together. Im pretty chuffed with the nozzles myself...@Tang0five
Cheers! This kite was a pita to build. This is actually take three of four. I struggled with the shapes and proportions. I think its still a wee bit off, but good enough is good enough, what? @ChiChiWerx
This isnt so hard to simulate, albeit loosely.
Connect two hinges (ideally with base mesh disabled) together, with the exhaust vane on top. Then set one to «open» on throttle, the other to «close». The one that closes on opening throttle should have more travel and travel faster, the other should have less travel andctravel slower.
You then get exhaust vanes that close on opening the throttle, only to slowly open up slightly again. Not ideal, but it looks cool.
Check my F-15 to see it in practise.
Indeed. As flown by the brave chaps of the RAAF in the Solomons, 1943 onward against the Japs. Which, btw, was my all time favourite campaign in IL-2 1946. @Tang0five
Many thanks! She was a little daunting to build, the part count started to get silly and she handles so much better than her real life counterpart, but hey, do you want realism or do you want fun? ;-) @ChiChiWerx
@Trainzo Many thanks. This was a bit of a bugger to get right (or at least as right as I could make it).
@Tang0five Cheers matey! My favourite bit is the cowl flaps. A bit esoteric, but there you are...
@Tang0five cheers! They were a royal pain in the posterior to do. You see, they would randomly connect to the surrounding parts, making the control surface immobile at best and one time, at worst, causing the whole kite to open up like a break barrel shot gun upon deploying flaps. Oh what a laugh that was...
Ok, Im struggling here. Can you try logging into MTBR.com (mountain bike website) and sending me a PM? I have the same username, only with a _ between the Ghost and the HTX... Sorry for the faffing around... @Alien
Thanks! @Trainzo

Ok, I just uploaded my monster. Now to build something with one engine and less than 300 parts...
@F104Deathtrap Here she is.

Nice concept!
Dobre! Det er Russisk på Norsk. Detfor ble jeg litt forvirret...
Hva er rysk? Mente du tysk? I så fall, guten tag mein herr! @Minecraftpoweer
Ah. Svensk. Im in Norway, right next door! @Minecraftpoweer
400kr? NOK? DKK? SEK?@Minecraftpoweer
Beans? @RailfanEthan
And universal balance is restored. @RailfanEthan
But what about the beans? @RailfanEthan
Dont let me stop you! The more the merrier, pluss thos one is not going to set the world on fire and Im sure yours will be much better. @ChiChiWerx
Im in.
@Tang0five Much obliged, old boy!
@mikoyanster Many thanks.
Thank you Mr Werx. @ChiChiWerx
Thanks! I got to the end of the build and thought that it lacked something. The beak and the name were the last things to fall into place. @Carbonfox1
@Dimkal Cheers!
@SledDriver Many thanks!
Very, very nice.
One small issue. The RnoAF penant has its point toward the tail. Totally counter intuitive, I know.
Good fun to fly. Well built, too.
Whats the eta on that result now? @Colonel1J2R3Wolf
Did this contest ever get judged?
Of course my dear fellow. Only the best where you’re concerned.
Oh, and could you kindly pop over to mtbr? I left you a message. @Alien

Nice. Looks like a burger joint, but handles like a bistro.
Thumbs up, old boy!
Very nice!
Many thanks! Im thinking of revisiting this one soon... @DJS8Corporations
@mikoyanster
Many thanks for the spot!
Surely some mistake? Its got all yellow on it...

@carrot2110 Thanks! This was not easy. The Eagle is a bloody complex shape.
Well, I picked a bad week to build an F-15 it seems. This is awesome.

Most kind. Thanks. @CRJ900Pilot
Good to see you back, CCW. This is a lovely kite.
Domo arigato goseimasu Alien-San. Also do you know how many there are of you on FB? Like trying to find a needle in a pile of needles... @Alien
@grizzlitn Appreciate the spotlight. Thanks!
Many thanks, old boy! Most kind of you. @Tang0five
@mikoyanster
@Sgtk
Cheers for the spotlights!
