This is awe inspiring.
It is also a good example of the uneven playing field on which iOS users must compete in challenges.
That said, this is a work of art.
Nothing major, old chap. The original builder was unaware that if you placed the guns within the hit box of the engine, the afore mention guns’ bullets would not collde with the engine. Saving one from some rather embarassing forced landings, sans propellor. @Tang0five
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I think you really need to be selective on what you detail and what you leave out, when you build on mobile. @tylerdeveneuxmusic
@ChiChiWerx Thanks! Im really finding my building style, and I have to say that it suits the earlier Soviet types. I also appreciate the feedback from a guy with actual real world flight experience!
@EternalDarkness Just a thought - would it be possible to clip in a regular wing gun into the barrel of this - maybe synchronising the fire rate with that of the cannon? That way it would be effective against ground and air targets?
Many thanks for all the kind support! It is really very appreciated. I know that Im not the most popular builder here at SP, but since I really dont build for the upvotes it really isnt an issue.
I do, however, get a warm gooey feeling inside from knowing that you guys who repeatedly upvote me really dig what I do.
Thanks matey! @Tang0five I read a fair bit of MiG-15 v Sabre stuff after I was done building them and a lot of what is widely accepted (MiG climbed faster, had inferior gunsight, heavier armament, more unstable gun platform, slower top speed, could out turn Sabre etc etc etc.) actually proved to be true of my two models. Mainly luck, I guess, and that the shapes are reasonably accurate. The SP physics engine did the rest.
Oh, and FYI I know that the left side horizontal stabiliser is at an angle - it is to counter a bloody irritating auto roll. A small price to pay, I think.
@Alien Now now old boy; when you were perfecting the art of the seat stick interface on the worlds most exciting interceptor, I was building Airfix models, running around getting drunk and generally up to no good with the lads of 2466 Squadron (atc). Learning the jingo was compulsory. I was too young to be on the books, but my Grandad and Uncle were W/Os so I was allowed to tag along.
Anyway, point being that you have your wings. I have the lingo, a dodgy knee from an evasion exercise that went pear shaped in the woods (a big lass fell on me) and know what polo mints dipped in chippy sauce taste like...
@CeeToTheZee
Jings! That was fast. Thanks.

It was all trial and error on my part. This was pre v1.7, without nudging and rotating and so on. @Tang0five

@destroyerP thanks. Not far off full marks. I’ll take it!
@DarthAbhinav yeah, but what took me a year has taken you 3 months. Good going!
@DarthAbhinav many thanks!
@destroyerP No rush. Thanks for making a very challenging challenge. I had great fun building this.
Ok, the transition to iPhone 8 was very easy and pain free. The extra oomph from the 2Gb of ram plus the new chipset makes SP really fly!
Thanks! @TMach5
I now have an iPhone 8. The next few days shall be spent moving resources across, so no uploads from me for a wee bit...
@Franticmatty Hey, if you still accept this as an entry I would be most greatful. Thanks for the upvote, too.
High praise indeed. Many thanks, old bean. Pip pip, tally ho, so on and so forth. @Alien
Bingo bango, me old mucker. Much appreciated.@Tang0five
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I think you really need to be selective on what you detail and what you leave out, when you build on mobile. @tylerdeveneuxmusic
@tylerdeveneuxmusic many thanks. Twice!!
@Franticmatty Yeah, Im just going to admit defeat on this one. Good luck with the challenge!
@Liquidfox Cheers!
@Franticmatty
Well that didnt work...
Tip top, oldboy. Are you partaking in the V-Bomber challenge too, perchance?@Tang0five
Decadent western imperialist bomber? Coming right up, komrade. @Tang0five
Oh, and many thanks!
@ChiChiWerx Thanks! Im really finding my building style, and I have to say that it suits the earlier Soviet types. I also appreciate the feedback from a guy with actual real world flight experience!
@Blue0Bull Spasiba!
@TakicraftCorporation Cheers!
@Liquidfox Many thanks.
Spasiba komrade. @Franticmatty
Challenge Accepted. Stronk bomber inbound.
Yeah, I thought of that after I posted. You would need to activate both inputs at the same time. Bit of a bugger, that. @EternalDarkness
@EternalDarkness Just a thought - would it be possible to clip in a regular wing gun into the barrel of this - maybe synchronising the fire rate with that of the cannon? That way it would be effective against ground and air targets?
Right oh! If you need a wingman for that sortie, just let me know! @Alien
Many thanks.

I do, however, get a warm gooey feeling inside from knowing that you guys who repeatedly upvote me really dig what I do.
@Tang0five - many thanks
@ChiChiWerx - I was thinking the self same thing!
If you gents like this, youre gonna love whats next....
Quick tip; to make this AI friendly, replace the missiles with stock guardians. Or alternatively, set the AG for each missile to «all».
Christ! Late the party as always. How I missed this I will never know.
Spiffing Buck, old bean. This is a really very, very nice model.
@Alien, old boy! How the devil are you? Many thanks for the kind comments.
Very nice. I could never for the life of me understand the RAF preoccupation with bomber/transports. Is was a crap idea.
This model is not crap, however. It is very, very good. It checks all the boxes. Props and roundels, old chap, props and roundels.

@SledDriver Muchos Gracias compadre

@SSSvaSSa Danke!
@EternalDarkness Merci!
@Tang0five Cheers very muchly.

@freedompilot98 - many thanks.
@Zott Thanks.
@Connster3 Excellent. Thanks!
@SledDriver Cheers.
God speed, good sir.
@Weaverfish
Credit where credit it due - you have some wonderful building techniques. I would appreciate your feedback on this model, if it's ok?
