This makes me happy. Happy as Larry. Larry is reknowned as being bloody happy. Yes, she handles like a wet copy of the Times in a force 10, but with fire power like this, who needs to dodge?@MEERKAT978
Bloody good to hear from you, old chap! Many thanks too, my dear fellow. The lack of bomber command memorial is not a case I was aware of. Bloody shameful, is what it is, though. But politicians will be politicians. On the other note; I never left, old boy. A slight change in my personal life has really eaten into my spare time, but I am still around. Im building an entry for the Bush Flying Challenge at the moment. Now, wheres that Gin? @Tang0five
@MEERKAT978 I just noticed that this version still has a brace of AGMs mounted to each outer stores point. Please disregard and hit AG7 prior to initiating the take off roll. You will leave the offending guided munitions on the runway.
Cool. I actually have an armed version too, re engined to have more oomph, and a back story involving the Army Air Corps and the need for a COIN/FAC kite. With 5000hp she is a hoot to fly. Uploading that one now. Story will need to wait.@Mustang51
Wonderful. Just bloody lovely all round. Well, the model, anyway. The story (one which I was not familiar with) is one of typical post war British stupidity mixed with an exasperating tendency to give the yanks everything they want on a silver plate - type stories. Makes my blood boil, so it does...
Wow. Many, many thanks! Im really glad you liked it! It took a fair while to build, but I think I nailed the «mid 30’s» look.
You have warmed the heart of a poor sod who, thanks to a virus, is currently puking his way through an otherwise crappy friday.
Oh, and a special mention to your desk building skils; hands down the best desk I have seen in SP. Possibly in my life. @poopatron71
Ground Effect is using aerodynamic trickery to create a low pressure zone under the car, in effect «sucking» the car to the ground. Here, I used structural wings with vtol flaps. It is possible with this set up to create negative lift. Try hitting top speed then pushing vtol up. She will fly. As in leave the ground. If you keep vtol down all the way she will stick to the ground. So the ground effect actually works. @DemonSniper8 Thanks for the review! Can I make another?
@ChiChiWerx Many thanks for the reference - I will take a look. I loved "Don't Cry for Me, Sergeant Major" - so this should be right up my alley, as it were...
Thanks for the spot and upvote too - always most welcome!
Dingdingding!@ChiChiWerx I almost wrote something about how AG3 and AG4 were out of action due to Morg's brains making the buttons stick, but I quickly realised that it would have been in pretty poor taste...
@MinutesTanker You can use weightless / dragless parts for making nice wings and details, sure. You can even adjust the mass and drag scale of parts for realistic performance (or to get things to work at all). Im not very picky. Im just out to make you guys design some quasi-realistic stuff!
@Pakdaaircraftindustries No, not altering the payload, so good. Simply put - that would be within the rules, and completely legal. Possibly awesome, even.
@RRV19 Hm. Ive dropped the bomb tens of times from several bombers, and apart from the times where it completely missed the ground (hit the water instead) Ive never had a misfire like you describe. You can add bits to it, though. A parachute is fine.
@LieutenantSOT Yeah! I looked at the XF15C to get ideas as to how the markings / colourscheme would look. The NATC was new to me so I googled it. I thought it would be perfect for a prototype.
@Kazin Fr fr no 🧢. Seriously, though - thanks! Im actually amazed it has so few parts myself. Especially since there is a working cockpit, flaps, custom landing gear and custom canopy. I really appreciate the upvote and comment 🙏🏻
Hey! Im featured! Happy days and many thanks to all involved.
+1Most kind of you old chap! When hedge hopping in Madagascar, one must really look out for the Lemurs, what? Vicious little blighters... @Alien
+1Very nice. Looks more like an A400m Atlas, though.

P.s. You’ll be spotlighting me soon.
+1Bloody hell. Well, you've wiped the floor with my Vengeful. No contest. I love the back story too - very realistic. Vindaloo!
I would give you a medal, but you've probably already got a drawer full of them, what?
Very bloody well done, old chap.

Looks nice, but where do you fit all that ordinance on such a smsll airframe?
+1Im spotting your lights and upping your votes, sunshine. Lovely stuff.

+1Looks a little like some errant Gripper locked a Scimitar and a Hunter up overnight in a hangar... nice.

Abso-frigging-lutely-bloody-marvel-sodding-lous. I like.

+1Crikey! That was quick! I havet even put the description up yet!! Thanks. @CRJ900Pilot
+1Featured? Featured! Im very happy you all like this - it took a wee while to build & keep mobile friendly.
Thanks to all!
Hope you all like the GR.7 as much... ;-)
+1@Alien But… never mind that - what do you think? I wasnt going for perfect - more "serviceable approximation"…
@Alien Bloody hell! Theres a sight for sore eyes! Welcome back, old boy!
@Mrcooldude Oh go on then.
@MinutesTanker Ive thought about this and no, sorry. One nuke per entry. Having multiple nukes explode would cook my iphone…
@Pakdaaircraftindustries This is a front runner. Very nice. Asymmetric payloads are the best payloads. Followed closely by symmetrical.
@MinutesTanker You can use weightless / dragless parts for making nice wings and details, sure. You can even adjust the mass and drag scale of parts for realistic performance (or to get things to work at all). Im not very picky. Im just out to make you guys design some quasi-realistic stuff!
@Pakdaaircraftindustries No, not altering the payload, so good. Simply put - that would be within the rules, and completely legal. Possibly awesome, even.
Quite the chonker. I like…
@Boeing727200F Adding parts is fine. Deleting parts from the bomb is not. The thought of a rocket propelled Yellow Sun makes me happy.
@Hooha12 Yeah sure why not? Just stick to the rules and youre good!
@RRV19 well yeah - I said I dropped it from 10000ft. I didnt say I made it back to base… :-)
Looking forward to your entry!
@RRV19 Im not sure what you mean? I just dropped it from 10000ft, and it went boom just fine?
@RRV19 Hm. Ive dropped the bomb tens of times from several bombers, and apart from the times where it completely missed the ground (hit the water instead) Ive never had a misfire like you describe. You can add bits to it, though. A parachute is fine.
@Mrcooldude the B-29 is Edward C. Wells’ solution for dropping nukes. I want to see Mrcooldudes solution!
@Pakdaaircraftindustries thats what I like to hear. You have no idea, but will try anyway! This is the way.
@Mrcooldude Absolutely! Have at it!
@WarLightning Thats the spirit!
NOTE! RULES CLARIFICATION!!
The bomb itself is around 15 parts. So I will not crucify anyone for going slightly over the max part count.
@Warsforyou Good stuff! Looking forward to your entry!
@LettuceRob119 Yay! Many thanks!
@mikoyanster thanks! I just hope the cockpit is fully functional. I hate building cockpits…
@RealMicroZackSP You’re joking, right?
@RealMicroZackSP I didnt.
You son of a bitch I’m in.
@Dogedogebread13 when is the deadline for submissions? I might make some small alterations first.
Edit: Never mind - I just read your pinned comment.
I would try this out, but I literally just built one for the Wunderwaffen challenge.
Sorry! Im a wee bit late! Goering got donut dust all over the cockpit…
@Dogedogeman1 Mobile most certainly does have Krakabloa.
@LieutenantSOT Yeah! I looked at the XF15C to get ideas as to how the markings / colourscheme would look. The NATC was new to me so I googled it. I thought it would be perfect for a prototype.
Bonus points to the man, woman, person, camera, tv that spots the mistake in the picture / title.
