@ChiChiWerx Thanks again, i forgot to add the Beech Staggerwing as the main source of inspiration, ive always liked the look of that plane, i was going to leave this unarmed but where the fun in that =)
@Tang0five rofl, its google at its best, i had a westland lysander on the screen so i googled lysander, turns out he was a spartan general hence Brasidas who was also a spartan general. I thought it fit for this build as its the sort of thing that would have ferried pilots about.
@Mumpsy nope was me being a tool. I kept it there through all the testing so I could quickly alter or add any bits and then completely forgot to delete it prior to posting.....
@BogdanX wow that was some reply, i just found it strange to have so many different people say "wow cool" and then not press the upvote button which takes less time. As for upvoting your builds I do, when I see them, unless I don't like the subject in question (why pick the ugly version of the Broncos?) :) I didn't realise we where on the childish vote for mine and I'll vote for you stage... well I've ran out of my nearly finished builds so no more "spamming" for a while. Thanks for taking the time to comment though, as in all seriousness it was puzzling me.
@TheAmericanPilot lots of bits, just set out a rought scheme with the big panels then overlay with smaller panels to form final shape. not difficult just time consuming and part intensive.
@MethaManAircraft it's temperamental, I was going for splitting 1 prop into 2 as the reason for the extra power but the piston physics on so is a pain, most of the time it's fine but it does glitch somehow...
Well I understand the frustration, a lot of my builds take a lot of time and don't get a lot of appreciation but I know I have enjoyed building them and that's the whole point of a game. Maybe improve your style and make them more detailed rather than use stock wings and square sections (compare your top and side views with something like a panavia tornado and you can see the difference.
@ThomasRoderick yeah I can understand that. As greasytortle suggested below it not unusual in the rc world especially indoor models like this. As for the rockets that was inspired by German ww2 secret projects like the natter, plus it looked boring if I didn't do something on the nose :)
@Tang0five yep, pretty much the entirety of the British aviation industry pre 60s would have had some boffins worth sharing a bar with, just think of the designs that never made it past the drawing board that we don't know about..
@Tang0five ah the harrier was a bit of a joke with Bogdan as someone had properly ripped it off and posted it without successor etc, i removed it after the joke had ran its course (it didnt feel right to benefit from a 30second recolour =) ). I might actually spend some time on it though in the future and add a camo to it.
@Tang0five yeah I know, some exhausts which are not mods or rockets would be nice. A bit of a strange one this for me, I built the wings for something else but need more time / thought to fully develop that concept but the wings where too nice to leave lying around hence this build. This is only a mk1 as I was originally aiming for a much different layout but again I got to the stage where I was ready to alter it and thought it was a shame not to finish it in a more traditional layout.
@Tang0five @LancasterAce lol, if you can run this you can run the last one just delete the SNEB rockets (86 parts a piece....). Glad ive finally found something you gents can use.
@EternalDarkness are you really ozzy Osbourne?
+1@tang0five didn't you make a princess?

@Killjoy876 press ag1 normally on my builds
@BogdanX the other odd one is the notification, they only appear (for me anyway) when people comment, upvote notifications seem to have disappeared...
@BogdanX hmm I could have sworn I'd upvoted your Harrier at least... oh well I've rectified that oversite anyway.
@BogdanX wow that was some reply, i just found it strange to have so many different people say "wow cool" and then not press the upvote button which takes less time.

Erm so there's a font problem? Want to be more specific as I havnt seen one...
Lol just noticed it has an errant cockpit floating about, sorry about that....
@TheAmericanPilot lots of bits, just set out a rought scheme with the big panels then overlay with smaller panels to form final shape. not difficult just time consuming and part intensive.
@BaconRoll yeah no probs, just credit me please.
+1@TheAmericanPilot Thanks =) im a bit bored of conventional aircraft now, so am enjoying a dabble into the unusual.
@Irobert55 you mean this?
@MethaManAircraft it's temperamental, I was going for splitting 1 prop into 2 as the reason for the extra power but the piston physics on so is a pain, most of the time it's fine but it does glitch somehow...
@MethaManAircraft press ag2 and guns appear on the wings :)
@MethaManAircraft thanks, it was fun to play with, which was your favourite AG button?
Oh dear, you could have just used mine and built a cockpit in that. Here's the link again
+1@RedRoosterII I was always told not to quote wiki :) and having it on there still doesn't mean it was in the book I used when modelling this :p
@Alien lol, I checked up on your account the other day and did wonder if you had given up, I did like your vindicator :)
@RedRoosterII in the secret weapons book it only has the cannon no missiles hence this build version :)
@RedRoosterII oh is it coming to warthunder? I got fed up of the grind on that game.
@Baldovino thanks
Only 122 parts... wow. I struggle to build anything less than 500.
Ooo does it transform? I loved the macros saga when I was a kid.

@SelectAKey good wow or bad wow?
@RedRoosterII lol thanks, I do it quite often, have a look at some of my other builds as normally it's more complex than this :)
+2@ChiChiWerx thanks, just a daft little build this one, glad you liked it though.
@Tang0five i sort of nicked that from the super crusader (ugliest plane in creation?) but i thought it was a nice idea.
@Strikefighter04 baby shark do doo do
+2He was plagiarising other people's work.
+2@flyingsteve88 thanks for the spotlight, much appreciated.
@ThomasRoderick yeah I can understand that. As greasytortle suggested below it not unusual in the rc world especially indoor models like this. As for the rockets that was inspired by German ww2 secret projects like the natter, plus it looked boring if I didn't do something on the nose :)
@ThomasRoderick have a look at blohm & voss bv.192.01 (Just Google it) it's not as wacky as you may think.
@greasytortle @JohnnyBoythePilot @Phoza thanks for the comments and support guys, glad you liked it :)
+1@Tang0five yep, pretty much the entirety of the British aviation industry pre 60s would have had some boffins worth sharing a bar with, just think of the designs that never made it past the drawing board that we don't know about..
@Tang0five oops had in my head you where on android. My bad sorry (Ps I hated apples restrictions so had android ever since my i5)
Mby they don't want you to sea the little fish with big teeth lurking just below the surface?
+5@tang0five, dont know if you where aware of this?
@BaconRoll thanks bacon, and now im hungry...

@tang0five i thought you had missed this one =) thanks again for all the support and upvotes.
@LotterCrafts thanks =)
Awesome, I saw the kit of this in boyes and gave it some consideration, but went back to building planes :)

@randomusername Cool, I feel kinda dumb for not knowing what you where calculating there... thanks though :)
+1@Tang0five @LancasterAce lol, if you can run this you can run the last one just delete the SNEB rockets (86 parts a piece....). Glad ive finally found something you gents can use.
@LancasterAce well this is 474 without the sneb pods. This is as low part as my builds can reasonably get.
