@Boe132 for custom paint, you just choose the custom paint pallet hahaha. For symbols, well you either have to make them yourself (which can be really annoying) or search for them from someone who has previously made a symbol parts kit
@ND40X that already sounds awesome! Tag me in it when you post. I also hope you can find an XML modded rotator or make one yourself so that it will constantly turn the radar dish (if it is one which uses the radar dish that is)
It might not be the prettiest but you still made your own cockpit! That’s a great habit to get into. I still cannot make good ones integrated with my builds
This is very nice! The cockpit looks really good and the general shape is nice too. The one thing I would change is make the nose cone a little more rounded.
This is a really nicely made UAV! It has a really cool shape to it. The only thing I would make at all differently is the shape of the front. It looks a little better when it’s a little thicker, especially on a UAV such as this one.
@Joelthealien would you take an XML request? I would love to have scaled down wings of different sizes which have a control surface which works on VTOL to create flaps. Do you think you could do this? No worries if it’s too much trouble
Pretty good! I agree with the comment below. This is tough plane as one of your firsts and you did alright. I would focus on getting the proportions correct on the aircraft as well as the proper shape. If you have a diagram of the plane you’re trying to build on hand, it really helps. Nice job still for one of your firsts!
@TheKraken3 the flight controls are actually fairly realistic compared to most on this website. Usually planes are too manoeuvrable but yours has a fairly realistic turn rate and it’s not overly smooth. The weight of the aircraft is also fairly realistic which is a bonus. It’s very well done
@JamesBleriot it looks slightly like it’s influenced by the PB4Y liberator (not the B-24 variant) but it’s clearly a different aircraft. Why be a bad sport about it?
@FlyingHueman that’s really odd. When I turn the pitch control surface’s trim to “on” (not inverted), it works just as it should. Sometimes planes work slightly differently for different devices though so this could be the reason
@FlyingHueman yeah it’s not an easy type of plane to build. You did a great job of it though! Some trim tabs would help fly a little easier but that’s not too big a deal. I like the curving of the wing that you did though. You don’t see that on flying wings too often
This is a pretty nice looking build! The VTOL design is also pretty cool and it’s different that the whole wing moves instead of just the engine. I’m not the biggest fan of the third engine but overall this is super cool!
@RASEN1914 no problem buddy! Your builds are incredible and I’m really looking forward to seeing more. Tag me in it when you post it so that I can see it for sure! Any hint on what it is?
@TrislandianAlliance my guy you didn’t read what I said. Go back and look and then you will see that I said the MiG-31 could bit the MiG-25 couldn’t. using your eyes
This is really fantastic! The detail in this is superb and most of all, it looks like it could have really been a Soviet fighter jet. Most of the fictional planes I see look realistic to some degree but you aren’t surprised they were fictional. With this one, I actually had to double check whether this was built or not. It flies very well too. Reminds me somewhat of a Soviet F-14. Lovely build!
@LockheedLover the true air speed of mach 3.5 depends on the altitude as mach number depends on air pressure. The cruise speed of the SR-71 at 85,000 ft (it’s normal cruise altitude) is around 3,500kmh while the MiG-25 cruises around 2,500kmh but I’m not sure at which altitude. Both aircraft can certainly go faster than their cruise speeds but especially for the MiG-25, this is extremely damaging for the engines and even borderline dangerous. Also the true top speed of the SR-71 is unknown as it was not tested beyond certain speeds due to uncertainty over what would happen to the airframe. Another point about the MiG-25 altitude is that although it has gone higher than an SR-71 before, it could not sustain that altitude for long, thus the cruise speed and altitude of the SR-71 is superior. Besides, the missiles used by the MiG-25 were essentially inoperable around the cruise altitude of the blackbird and the MiG-25 never successfully intercepted an SR-71 although they have tried. History has other points to say on this matter.
@LockheedLover yeah but that was really pushing it’s engines. Normally it was around 2.5 at altitude and the SR-71 cruises at mach 3.5. It also did have both an altitude and aerodynamic advantage to the MiG-25. However, the 31 was able to somewhat intercept it so it repelled the Americans from flights directly over the USSR but not around it.
I was confused why there was that one Boom 50... now it makes sense
@Boe132 for custom paint, you just choose the custom paint pallet hahaha. For symbols, well you either have to make them yourself (which can be really annoying) or search for them from someone who has previously made a symbol parts kit
@ND40X great! Sounds cool already
This sounds interesting. I might make something for this too. The part count is just a little tricky to stick to
Well this looks a little peculiar. I like your ambition though! Twin aircraft are quite cool and fun to make
@ND40X that already sounds awesome! Tag me in it when you post. I also hope you can find an XML modded rotator or make one yourself so that it will constantly turn the radar dish (if it is one which uses the radar dish that is)
It’s not the exact shape but it looks like a somewhat more futuristic space shuttle with smaller wings. Quite a cool design
It might not be the prettiest but you still made your own cockpit! That’s a great habit to get into. I still cannot make good ones integrated with my builds
@Joelthealien no problem! It’s on its way there, it just needs a little bit more to be great
@ND40X I’m looking forward to that!
This is very nice! The cockpit looks really good and the general shape is nice too. The one thing I would change is make the nose cone a little more rounded.
@Joelthealien thanks man! I really appreciate it. I’ve looked everywhere and I couldn’t find a single one
This is a really nicely made UAV! It has a really cool shape to it. The only thing I would make at all differently is the shape of the front. It looks a little better when it’s a little thicker, especially on a UAV such as this one.
Lol I like this. It looks good
@Joelthealien would you take an XML request? I would love to have scaled down wings of different sizes which have a control surface which works on VTOL to create flaps. Do you think you could do this? No worries if it’s too much trouble
Some of these are pretty useful btw
Did you XML mod these yourself?

@HighPitch1998 oh cool! I thought maybe a vixen or venom but that makes sense too
Whoa this is really really well made! Nice job with this one!
Damn this is a really cool build idea. Did any aircraft in particular inspire you or was this from your own imagination?
This looks pretty cool. It seems like more of a modern trainer or light attack aircraft than a WWII fighter though hahaha. Nice sleek design
@XxHELLCAT2GOOD4UxX I will take a look at it
@TheKraken3 the flight controls are actually fairly realistic compared to most on this website. Usually planes are too manoeuvrable but yours has a fairly realistic turn rate and it’s not overly smooth. The weight of the aircraft is also fairly realistic which is a bonus. It’s very well done

This flies really well and looks incredible. Great build!
@FlyingHueman that’s really odd. When I turn the pitch control surface’s trim to “on” (not inverted), it works just as it should. Sometimes planes work slightly differently for different devices though so this could be the reason
@FlyingHueman why not add the trim to the pitch control surfaces?
My goodness this is fantastic! Did you base it off any bomber in particular or more than one?
@FlyingHueman yeah it’s not an easy type of plane to build. You did a great job of it though! Some trim tabs would help fly a little easier but that’s not too big a deal. I like the curving of the wing that you did though. You don’t see that on flying wings too often
This is really really nice! You probably know I’m a sucker for flying wings and this one is bloody good!
@weebabyseamus thanks for that! I’m looking forward to see the changes/improvements you’ve made
Exceptional build. The detailing, especially on the wings and cockpit, is just fantastic
This is a really nice aircraft! It’s also probably for the best that the previous comment was removed hahaha
This is a pretty nice looking build! The VTOL design is also pretty cool and it’s different that the whole wing moves instead of just the engine. I’m not the biggest fan of the third engine but overall this is super cool!
@RASEN1914 Excellent! Your WWI builds are my favourite of yours thus far so I am looking forward to seeing more of them.
@RASEN1914 no problem buddy! Your builds are incredible and I’m really looking forward to seeing more. Tag me in it when you post it so that I can see it for sure! Any hint on what it is?
@TrislandianAlliance lol then why make a fool of yourself? It’s childish
@belugasub gotta defend facts
@TrislandianAlliance my guy you didn’t read what I said. Go back and look and then you will see that I said the MiG-31 could bit the MiG-25 couldn’t. using your eyes
@Alpha1M no problem!

@SuperSabre1945 looking forward to seeing the finished build! Tag me in it when it’s done
Damn this is an incredible build. I wish this was real
This is a really cool concept. It looks really good and flies well too
You just got yourself a new follower!
Really incredible job. Fantastic Super Hornet!
This is so cool! I’ve never seen a build like this!
