@asteroidbook345 Yeah, itbhas an eggy sort of shape to it, huh?
@Tang0five thanks! I was thinking of a V-Bomber sortof name, but couldnt come up with one. Its a sort of snakey type thing, isnt it?
Ive tried two of your models (the red one with three engines and the green one) just for fun, and neither have ailerons or any other method of roll control. They are stable enough, but without a method of controling roll they are, well, difficult to fly.
Im working on it! I promise! Ive been on 10-12 hour days for the last couple of weeks, y’see... That plus two kids below school age is a bit of a tine suck. @Spitfirelad05
@Tang0five @Texasfam04 @LegnaK
You are all most kind!
This is a little rough and ready (work is becoming less of a full time job and more of an all consuming life eating kind of thing)... But I will try to get the description finished today at least...
I know the difference. I recently did a Mk Ia, MkVb, MkIXb,and a couple of Griffon Spits too. Its the depth of the rear fuselage; It might be the angle of the screen shots, but it looks to me like the upper fuselage including the canopy is oversized and the lower, including the engine cowling and the tail fin/rudder is too small. Please dont get me wrong - this is a very good start! @HistoricBirds
I say, old boy; would you be terribly put out if one were to - ahem - borrow one of the rocket packs from this kite, for use in another? All credit shall be given, I trust you understand? @RamboJutter
Im just not «hip» enough. That and I dont like making epic teaser posts, which seem to be the thing to do if you want epic numbers of upvotes.
I used to be cool, honest... I @Tang0five
I used to travel a lot with work, but luckily I very seldom experienced this.
One time, though, I had to get on a flight with a complete sod of a sinus infection. I could actually hear the peeeeeeeeeep of the pressure equalisation inside and outside my head.
@pancelvonat Thanks! But my comment was really a general commentary on how random the upvoting can be here. I wasnt fishing for upvotes! You are most kind, though.
Its ok. Im glad you like it. I guess Im getting a wee bit touchy in my old age. I look forward to seeing your mk20! Tag me when its up?
Do you really think it is the cockpit that makes the difference in terms of d/l? Odd... Anyway, here is a spot and an updoot. @logizAircrafts
@logizAircrafts I just think it is a bit off that you liked my Spitfire enough to make your own version, but you dont even mention that pretty much 99% of it is my work in the description, thats all. The d/l and u/v thing is really a secondary consideration.
Cheers old bean! She is a rather interesting proposition indeed. A word to the wise; I may have forgotten to assign the cruise jets (on top of the fuselage) to AG1. Hovering might be a bit... interesting unless you fix this. @Tang0five
Fire away, old chap. Tag me when you release it? @GeneralOliverVonBismarck
Thanks! @CrazyCatZe
You gave me the idea! @asteroidbook345

@AdlerSteiner Em... oops? This was meant to be an entry to your luftwaffe challenge. For some reason it isnt a successor... Will you accept it still?

Please dont get me wrong - this is a very good start! @HistoricBirds
This is cool, but I have one or two small suggestions?
1- the canopy looks too big and the prop spinner too small. Maybe make the spinner bigger (i.e. Thicker).
2- the guns were not evenly spaced on the wings. There was one inboard, two paired just outboardof the landing gear and one further out.
3- your fin and rudder look a wee bit off in shape. In fact, the rear fuselage looks too deep in general.
Otherwise very nice and;
COOL BEANS.
Yeah, Im not too popular, for one reason or another. I really appreciate the support, though! @JettStorm
If memory served me correctly, the square trigger was only on the cannon armed Spitfires.
The pilot dummy is somewhat under scaled. Also, thanks for the upvotes! Did I win something? @JettStorm
Oh that will do nicely. Many thanks. @RamboJutter
Perfect. This will be put to very good use. Spiffing, old boy, absolutely spiffing.
I say, old boy; would you be terribly put out if one were to - ahem - borrow one of the rocket packs from this kite, for use in another? All credit shall be given, I trust you understand? @RamboJutter
The tail wheel is castoring and rotates freely. I think the real Spit maybe had a locking mechanism but I couldnt be sure... @Spitfirelad05

I used to be cool, honest... I @Tang0five
Well it certainly wasnt a pleasent experience, thats for sure. @WNP78
I used to travel a lot with work, but luckily I very seldom experienced this.

That sucked.
A hurricane is indeed possible. Probable, even. @Spitfirelad05
Very cool!
Thanks Spitfirelad05! @Spitfirelad05
Cheers! The Wurger was one of my influences! @Spitfirelad05
Hey, what can I say? Im like chopped liver over here... Thanks, though! @ChiChiWerx
Im struggling to believe that this is possible with less than 1000 parts. Well done.
Thanks! @ThePrototype
@pancelvonat Thanks! But my comment was really a general commentary on how random the upvoting can be here. I wasnt fishing for upvotes! You are most kind, though.
Yep, based on the River Clyde to the west of Glasgow, Scotland. They never really built anything like this, but I really liked the name. @Boundslayer
This is really very good. Very very good. @Tang0five
It looks very nice. Did you smooth out the tail fin? Overall an improvement over my model. Well done!
Tally bloody ho!!!! @Tang0five
Its ok. Im glad you like it. I guess Im getting a wee bit touchy in my old age. I look forward to seeing your mk20! Tag me when its up?

Seriously? Youre going to ignore my comment? Not even an honorable mention? @logizAircrafts
I think a version 2 is in order...
... not in this case... I didnt think of that. This is a two blade constant speed job. @ThePrototype
@EternalDarkness Cheers!
Thanks! @TMach5
This would melt my phone, but well played all the same. Nicely done!
Thanks! She is an interesting specimin, no doubt. Four turboprops and eight turbojets... And she is still underpowered, I think. @ChiChiWerx
Cheers old bean! She is a rather interesting proposition indeed. A word to the wise; I may have forgotten to assign the cruise jets (on top of the fuselage) to AG1. Hovering might be a bit... interesting unless you fix this. @Tang0five
He he look at the Bell v-22; that was my inspiration for this. She has them big props too. @Carbonfox1
Im good? Good! And sorry about the part count. @ACEPILOT109
Excellent! Im in! @ACEPILOT109
Im still good? Good! And sorry about the part count. @ACEPILOT109
Why thank you kind sir. @Texasfam04
Iknowrite? @Strikefighter04
Many thanks! I was thinking that this would be perfect if you happened to have a hundred or so Spetznaz to move around...@grizzlitn
