Domo arigato! I took some lessons, but it was a long time ago. I think you would make a great Komet and you are much better than I was at 4,000 points. @otayahiromo8211
Spasiba. Engine is based on capitalisti Wright Cyclone. But this model built in factory in Kiev, by superior quality babushkas. Runs on vodka. Like superior quality babushkas. Wings made from inferior Uzbeki alloy, like superior quality babushkas, but is overall acceptable. @CustomAircraftMods
Dunno. Define “mechanical build”? The idea is to keep the power within easily measured limits. If you can guarantee that the motor isnt more powerful than a 600 hp car engine then ok! @ThePrototype
Thanks! I really just tried to make her flyable and fun - she isnt too accurate (wing span is a bit long, she has 50% of the cowl flaps of the actual An-2 and there are fewer windows than there should be, for example). I took a look at the An-2 (both of yhem) that jamesPLANESii did. They were my benchmark and very very good! @BogdanX
Lets see; I did the prototype, a MkIa, a MkVa, a MkVb, a MkIXb, a MkXIIb, a MkXIIc, a couple of MKXIV variants and two Seafires. And a Mk22. And the two fictional Twinfires. So 13 or 14 all in. @WarHawk95
Thanks! Im not sure its THAT good, but youre very kind. Ive been building 3d models for about 15 years, first in Milkshape 3d, then Blender, then Gmax. I guess this is an extension of that? Im seriously thinking of getting an Android or Windows based tablet of some sort, since I think Im pretty much at the limit of what I can do on an iPhone. @Warhammer55
If I recall correctly the yellow leading edges were for recognition purposes. Im not convinced all fighter command units used them, though. I know the IJA / IJN used the same recognition trick too later in the war. @Tang0five
It could be locked in a forward facing position in flight and fire control given to the pilot. Still a spectacularly crap fighter, though. Nice model! @otayahiromo8211
@Pilothouston5 Da. In Soviet Russia plane lands you.

Otsyohiromo-san! Me-163 Komet, kudasai!

You build very good replicas. I am a big fan!
Im alright, huh? Must have been that family holiday to Pripyat when I was a kid... @TMach5
Da Komrade! Spasiba! @ChiChiWerx
Sweet! Go for it! I would love to see what you build. @ThePrototype
I welcome you with most komradely socialistic fraternal welcome. Do your best, for Russia! @DJS8Corporations
Thank you very much, komrade. @jamesPLANESii

PO-2 is superior. Da komrade! @ThePrototype

@EternalDarkness you old devil, you! Many thanks.
@Othawne Thank you!
... Im an only child...
Mobile friendly, innit.@SledDriver
I can happily confirm that this wonder operates nicely on high settings on my iPhone 8. Awesome.
KSP is fun. The only reason I dont play any more is because lack of time restricts me to mobile. @BaconAircraft
Thanks! Im quite fond of this one too. @MAHADI
Do it! Doitdoitdoit! Dooooo iiiiiit! @MrSilverWolf
Thanks, but I dont think human is his first language... @Kerbango
Thats true. Im not sure what the going rate is for an iPhone 8? It gets me up to 700 - 750 parts, though. @Jetliner101
Ok. Well thanks, I guess...@AchuTMM
Yes you are. But are you in? @AchuTMM
I wasnt implying anything here - It was more of a general comment. There have been a few never ending challenges lately. @Boundslayer
I built everything I have ever built on an iPhone. Being on mobile is no excuse. @Jetliner101
Agreed! This will be fun. Im thinking an Antonov an-2 would be a nice entry.

Sure! Just post it up. @GeneralOliverVonBismarck
Thanks matey! @RamboJutter
Thanks man! @Tang0five
Cheers! One more Spit to go then Im done. @TMach5
How what, my dear fellow? @Warhammer55
@trolman Thanks!
Yeah, theres been far too bloody many of those, lately. @RamboJutter
Aaaaaan RJ wins the challenge.

Also; I just noticed something odd with the artificial horizon on this kite. Stay tuned for an update!
Ive thought about it, believe me! Ive got one more Spitfire (F.22) in the works, one fictional Norwegian jet bomber and then we’ll see? @Spitfirelad05
This is a re touch of my existing spit 1. The initial build was a week or so. And you are very kind, thanks! @Frenchyfry
Nicely done!
Very nice!
Very nice. You have the shape perfectly.
4am. Thats the time my son usually chooses to start his day... @otayahiromo8211
No! No problem at all! I like your model very much - the Defiant worked well as a theory, but in reality it was a death trap. @otayahiromo8211
It could be locked in a forward facing position in flight and fire control given to the pilot. Still a spectacularly crap fighter, though. Nice model! @otayahiromo8211
Pretty.
Cheers! She is a handfull, huh?@Treadmill103
