@Carbonfox1 @grizzlitn Thanks for the comments and upvotes, glad you liked it, it was a fun build. Tbh though that wing didn't impress me much towards the end, the shape was more complex than necessary and that lead to a shape too complex to camo properly...
@MethaManAircraft I've only just downloaded it, i literally just added the arrestor hook and launch rail to a build i did on 1.7. I was going to add the 1.7 build as unlisted but it still comes up with the 1.8 patch warning now...
@Warbirdnation see the pilotdudes link below also here also try having a look at a comp built, take it to bits if needs be, it will show you how people do it here for example
@TheFantasticTyphoon fair enough, ive stood next to an FAW9 at duxford but i dont think it had any stores on it. All i get on my replicas is people pointing out the small errors rather than appreciating the build as a whole, its rather frustrating, you at least appear to have researched your comments, most of the comments i get at present are just rubbish. I built a starfighter that got taken to pieces by another player because the nose was 2ft too high and the fin wasnt exactly the right shape etc.
@TheFantasticTyphoon wow, are you for real? this is why i dont do replicas anymore.... And the only difference from the FAW9 and FAW9R is the refueling probe, all types of javelin could carry external stores, the R stands for range i.e. it had a probe.
@jamesPLANESii lol ive just posted it as a vietnam scheme, you commented as i pressed post, ive linked all the others as unlisted though, thanks for your input.
@AWESOMENESS360 Lettering, lettering and some more lettering =) Ive made the wings actually be wing shaped and thus the letters and roundels all have to bend around the shape, hence the part count (which also isnt helped by the wing shape to start with). Theres a lot of time spent on the shape.
It helps to a)save the build b) share with friends for constructive criticism before public release and c) I do it so I can play with my builds on my phone before they are too detailed for it to run.
@Sgtk yeah i was going to tone them down but it took an age to stop, if your slow enough on landing though you can hold pitch up and tap the brake to stop. Once 1.8 is here ill add an arrestor hook and that should complement the brakes and hold the back down.
@AdlerSteiner what's happening with this then? Or have I entered yet another competition that just falls by the way side. Ps I'm going to post this every month till it is.
@Spacedoge12345plane probably close to 20hrs I would think, didn't count exactly, mby more as it took a while for the original build which was then altered to be accurate and then all the decorative stuff
Is this the way of the Jedi?
@ChickensCannotBeEaten good man, glad you like them, want a sneak peak at what im playing with at present?
+2@CRJ900Pilot here ive added 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 scaled parts (everything but the hollow fus)
@Tang0five I've downloaded 1.8beta on my phone and it works fine, I used a 500part build if mine and it was as smooth as my pc.
@ChickensCannotBeEaten No, I custom made them using small shaped panels, I havnt used the hollow sections yet. Thanks for your support.
@CRJ900Pilot I'll do it tonight when I get in from work

@Tw1st3dPs7ch0 I wouldn't go that far, my last f104 was better in my opinion and the flying wing bomber wasn't bad either :)
+1@CRJ900Pilot what do you need?
Why say it's the best on sp? Why not just say "come look at my awesome....". Saying the former infers superiority and doesn't come across well :)
+1@JohnnyBoythePilot thanks, they also keep me safe from accuracy issues on scale builds =)
+1@MethaManAircraft Some weird bits but barring that, yes it works well.
@Tang0five 1 size but I can scale it up or down using a mod, just let me know what you need.

@Spitfirelad05 @Roswell Thanks, plenty of schemes to choose from :)
@jamesPLANESii thanks for the comment and spotlight, I dont get many of those these days =)
@TMach5 yeah i thought that was a nice touch, similar to the F105 which i based the fuselage on
@Trainzo @BaconRoll thanks again.
+1@CRJ900Pilot @ChiChiWerx @grizzlitn Thanks, always appreciate your comments.
@LancasterAce do you ever build anything for pc users?
@jamesPLANESii lol ive just posted it as a vietnam scheme, you commented as i pressed post, ive linked all the others as unlisted though, thanks for your input.
@Skyhawk11 ? In what way?
@CYBERBEAST just nick one from one of my open cockpit builds
@BlackhattAircraft yep
@Tw1st3dPs7ch0 to be fair, it wasnt even the predecessors =)
+1@CRJ900Pilot @grizzlitn @Treadmill103 thanks guys, glad you liked it.
@Notaleopard wow, if only it was a kit =)
Lol wot
+1Good luck.
@BogdanX thanks. How's judging going?
@jamesPLANESii Lol, I can assure you after the last debacle, the wings and everything else are perfectly scale to within a few inches :)

+1@WarHawk95 yep
@ThePilotDude yeah help yourself :)
DISCRIMINATION! but nvm as I've had enough of challenges of late :)
+2@asteroidbook345 will do :) have a look at my starfighter if you havnt already seen it, easily one of my best builds.
@andrewgarrison wow I'm humbled, thanks for the upvote and making such an awesome game!
@asteroidbook345 Thanks, yeah I liked it, plenty of gizmos, it was a shame for miko as I thought it was a good idea and different
I'd offer to help but I don't have my pc at present, sorry.
Here here, also don't forget, listen to bogdanx if he offers friendly advice otherwise you are doomed :) @jamesplanesii
+1And you still havnt actually rated the planes submitted or decided your competition which ended ages ago, shame on you.
+3@AdlerSteiner what's happening with this then? Or have I entered yet another competition that just falls by the way side. Ps I'm going to post this every month till it is.
