@ChiChiWerx thanks but I can't take credit for that, someone a long time ago (so long I've forgotten who, it was before masters moved to discord) gave me a 2x2 panelled cylinder, I just use that as the basis and scale or alter to suit.
@AzureCorp you got me thinking, i kinda have already done what you suggested here and i also did a sort of early jet type as well here not to mention a vietnam style twin boom here so i kinda think i have done this to death for now =)
@AzureCorp yeah I intentionally made them large as I was trying to make the rest look smaller in comparison (imagine the engines are wasp double radials like on the p47, the fuselage only needs to be big enough to fit the pilot hence its much smaller). The wyvern and p38 are not similar in any way lol, I might do a not quite a wyvern though.
@Tang0five thanks, good to hear from you again. Its been a while since either of us posted anything, I have been struggling for motivation to finish anything, I do the interesting bits (new shapes, mechanisms etc) and then just can't be bothered to do the finishing stuff... glad your back though, thought we had lost you for a while there
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook aw man you beat me to it, I saw a pirate in a photo of a cutlass while researching my last build and thought that would be a nice second entry... :)
@mikoyanster looks like I've dropped a clanger, thought it was 780 part limit like your other challenge (my bad, should have read it in more detail). Do you want me to have it removed from the challenge?
@DerpTheSoyacfartala its going to have about 6 seats (vulcan had 5 and this has double the engines). I'll send you an unlisted link at some point then you can do all the exporting etc yourself without needing to email etc
@BoganBoganTheWoman no worries, im not even bothered how long it takes, just thought you had abandoned the challenge when there was no update after deadline and your last post was over 2 weeks ago 😉
@thebanbehindtheslaughter any particular one you are interested in? I'm just curious at present as to what sort of things are attractive to people other than me :)
@EternalDarkness ah ok, sorry, that name changing is by far the worst thing that has been introduced, all these silly names that keep changing, impossible to keep track of who is who.
@EternalDarkness ah k, didn't know they where in spmc, not heard of them before this, sorry. They didn't respond to my query and last post was over 2 weeks ago so just assumed they had left.
@EternalDarkness another competition that isn't being judged and the creator isn't replying to messages or updating the post. I'm getting fed up joining competitions like this, is it worth removing the successor links? (Not that it matters as the creator is obv afk)
@Dimkal no worries man, I looked back at my more recent builds and agree they do lack some pizaz (the ww1 ones are good though). See where my next creations take me :)
@Dimkal thanks :) glad you like it and thanks fir the support as always. Sorry you feel some of the more recent builds have been sub-par, they were never intended to be.
@MethaManAerospace further to the below I've just had a flick through my last couple of pages and I don't think your comments regarding dihedral and wing thickness/taper are accurate. Have a look at !this for one example
@ChiChiWerx yep, brit draken sums it up nicely, I used a modified lighting fuselage with single engine etc so it definitely has the brit bit. I always struggle with the compromise between speed at altitude and speed at low level. If I have it right for one its wrong on the other... I was fighting the game again towards the end of the build or it would have had some more red bits (eg im fitting a pitot tube to the nise cone but the right hand u/c and adjacent door become stuck...) thanks again for your input, it gives me something to work on.
@MethaManAerospace fair enough but then when you angle everything you reflect the radar signals away from the plane not back to the receiver thus reducing the aircrafts radar cross section hence the design used here. In addition the forward swept wing can't have any more detrimental impact on radar Cross section than any other wing as it has the same dimensions just it goes forwards. In essence if the shape was an issue the f117 wouldn't work as the radar rrceivers are looking for both approaching (wing swept back) and receding (looking at the trailing edge, which is the same as a forward swept wing).
Oh and I have not seen or played ace combat so no idea what the aircraft on there look like :)
@RomanTorchwick I don't know, I realise that some of my followers/upvoters left after that but I don't really agree with the whole sp is dying theories
@RomanTorchwick don't worry about it, it happens all the time. I've given up being bothered by it, I just build what I want and if I finish it and post it then thats a bonus now.
Steering wheels on the wrong side :) barring that looks good.
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook dont know if your interested but i saw this and thought of you =) Should be a nice modification to your build.
@Droidy247 I might, i did want to revisit that one but i never intended for the wings to fold etc. so might be a big job.
@ChiChiWerx thanks but I can't take credit for that, someone a long time ago (so long I've forgotten who, it was before masters moved to discord) gave me a 2x2 panelled cylinder, I just use that as the basis and scale or alter to suit.
@AzureCorp lol like this or this
@AzureCorp thanks :)
@AzureCorp you got me thinking, i kinda have already done what you suggested here and i also did a sort of early jet type as well here not to mention a vietnam style twin boom here so i kinda think i have done this to death for now =)
@Subnerdica its a cross between a grumman bearcat and a Bristol beaufighter.
@AzureCorp ah now that makes much more sense lol. I made a kit of the whirlwind last Christmas so that's apt really.
@AzureCorp what do you mean by wyvern then? I thought you meant the westland wyvern which was a single engine turboprop carrierbourne fighter?
@AzureCorp yeah I intentionally made them large as I was trying to make the rest look smaller in comparison (imagine the engines are wasp double radials like on the p47, the fuselage only needs to be big enough to fit the pilot hence its much smaller).

@KnightOfRen sitting on the drawing board awaiting some motivation and time along with half a dozen other 90% finished builds.
@Blue0Bull thanks for the detailed review, I'd forgotten all about this, glad you liked it.
That picture is so dark I couldn't even see the b17... what's that about?
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook sshh... no one else will spot that. Its not the only bit of JP on the plane either =)
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook aw man you beat me to it, I saw a pirate in a photo of a cutlass while researching my last build and thought that would be a nice second entry... :)
@mikoyanster can you clarify if this meets the challenge requirements please (I keep getting messages to tell me it doesn't). Thanks
@mikoyanster looks like I've dropped a clanger, thought it was 780 part limit like your other challenge (my bad, should have read it in more detail). Do you want me to have it removed from the challenge?
@mikoyanster Just had a look your link for the AA Atol missile doesnt work. Im working on something, see how it goes =)
@DerpTheSoyacfartala its going to have about 6 seats (vulcan had 5 and this has double the engines). I'll send you an unlisted link at some point then you can do all the exporting etc yourself without needing to email etc
@DerpTheSoyacfartala its the sp cockpit, uts easier to just nudge it up when building.
@BoganBoganTheWoman no worries, im not even bothered how long it takes, just thought you had abandoned the challenge when there was no update after deadline and your last post was over 2 weeks ago 😉
@Thecatbaron I dont know if it will defeat the object of the design, but it certainly makes landing a whole load safer...
@BoganBoganTheWoman no worries, just thought you had left the game or something, seems to happen when i enter a challenge =)

Change the setting on the bomb to turn collisions off
@BoganBoganTheWoman just wondering when to expect the results of this?
Aw man, here i go again :)
Try this biplane here
@Afellowuser09 maybe, i have something nearly built, thinking about doing a 2 seat version so might do that in NZ colours.
@Belloaka I even built a better one a little while ago but it wasn't as popular. Here
@Dimkal no worries man, I looked back at my more recent builds and agree they do lack some pizaz (the ww1 ones are good though). See where my next creations take me :)
@Dimkal thanks :) glad you like it and thanks fir the support as always. Sorry you feel some of the more recent builds have been sub-par, they were never intended to be.
@spectre118 well aye, after all any puller triplane would just look like a dr1 :)

@MethaManAerospace care to elaborate? How's it the worst stealth config?
@RomanTorchwick don't worry about it, it happens all the time. I've given up being bothered by it, I just build what I want and if I finish it and post it then thats a bonus now.
@Blue0Bull Well here we have the entry for your challenge if you would be so kind as to link it. I think i have met your criteria =)
@Daylight thanks :) built it before the blueprint mod as well.
How would anyone know and why would anyone care?
@mackenzie1 thanks :)
@MRpingouin thanks :) I'm glad someone noticed the effort that went into those wings.
