@GhostHTX thanks, I fully agree, it ended ok and was entertaining in its own way :) I forgot to mention aircraft museums are also a large part of my inspiration, i was recently at cosford hence the p75.
@GhostHTX a lot of the inspiration came from designs on deviant art, I'm trying not to copy them per se after I had a little run in with one of the designers (We sorted it amicably but id rather avoid that sort of thing recurring.) Barring that the internet is a wonderful source of inspiration in general, I saw a photo of 2 a10s banking yesterday and their wings lined up perfectly to make it look like one plane :)
Try building some planes, tells and cars might not suit everyone. Barring that just enjoy building and strive to make every build better than the last.
@Minecraftpoweer ag2 is just meant to arm the bomb not drop it, when I was flying it as long as I wasn't on the ground attack screen it was fine. I was having bother with bombs not going bang so assumed they needed arming
@RodWan ah, it said a dogfighter with props based on a ww2 style so I sort of thought that a fictional post war type aircraft would be what you where looking for. And since the Horten design was posted (a 100% ww2 aircraft) with a few add ons I thought that this would be fine, do you want me to delete it?
A description and a few more pics would be nice (and the main pic actually zoomed in so you can see more plane than black background). Other than that it looks like a nice build
@GhostHTX thanks :) those roundels are the bane of my life, I can send you the template I made if u want but it's a pain to apply (in brief, I attach the template then use overload to rotate it to match the angle of fus, then I twist and nudge each individual part to match the shape of the fus. If it's a later roundels there are nearly 50 parts to alter...) glad you liked this though, I'm going through an xplane phase
@aircraftarsenal123 yeah there where a few variants, the twin boom was to remove the exhausts from having wash over other parts of the plane which having the thrust closer to cog, glad you liked it.
A nice attempt but you would benefit from comparing your build to some 3 view drawings, the shape is similar but is significantly different from what you are trying to achieve.
Yeah I created a similar post a while back, I wanted to use one engine as a short lived rocket and then the secondary engine as the main propulsion (sr53)

As there's no link to the challenge, the comments have piqued my interest.
@Minecraftpoweer that's awesome, how do you do the smoke? I'm assuming there's a cleaver in it?
@Minecraftpoweer you didn't post a link just a name.
@AWESOMENESS360 nah man I've just had lots of practise, keep up the hard work :) ps your wing gun is awesome :p
You do know that "wing gun" was a pitot tube to give the pilot an airspeed reading, right? ;)

@Minecraftpoweer cool, how can you make it work in a different way? its a flying bomb.
@YuraCat are you still alive???
@rodwan I don't know what happened but it didn't post as a successor even though it's the same build with add one as you mentioned...
@RailfanEthan lol wat strikes again, I've used the basic airframe a few times and people still comment on the insignia :)
@Delosofy thanks, the reason you blew up was the drop tanks are full of fuel and the detached go pop if they hit the floor, ag3 releases them.
@AdlerSteiner @Tang0five @Trainzo thanks guys, glad you liked it, have fun on your bombing runs!
@CursedFlames yeah i just wish they had realised that a mosquito type canopy doesnt suit a supersonic aircraft... =)
@ChickenDodger132242 use discord to dump an then use the link in the post.
@Lancelot20021230 no worries, I only know as I have a plastic kit of it =) this page may help you.

Y only the one main float? The real spitfire had two fitted and no wing tip floats ;)

@ChiChiWerx thanks, it happens, nvm onto the next build :)
@Sgtk @ploptro7 thanks for the votes and comments.
@CRJ900Pilot @Tang0five @ChiChiWerx thanks for the votes and comments again guys.

Welcome back, I see you have met spacedoge... enjoy :)
lol my flying boat has a wingspan in excess of 500ft.
@Bman01

@Marine I've thought about doing something like this, reminds me of some old manga style films I saw as a kid, pure awesomeness.
@AdlerSteiner lol you got in before id even finished adding the screenshots and tagging people from the forum post, thanks, glad you like it.

@Storm41 it looks nice.
An actual p38 on this game that bears a resemblance to the actual aircraft, well done.
@lolvplol yes. They are not affected in any way by fuselage blocks
@RodWan woot if I remember I'll submit something, is it limited to 1 entry? When's the deadline?
I like that s it's predecessor was a sukhoi :)
Woot a flying pancake. I've been meaning to do one of these for a while.
@CeeToTheZee it was never made hence fictional but is based on an actual aircraft design hence a replica. A fictional replica.
@BaconRoll I tried hard to make them oval in shape ;)
@Kitt12342016 happy days, I was just curious as I built this month's ago and it's rare on here for an older build to get any attention.
Cool, it looks like it should fly the other way though :)
Its always a good idea to be a bit closer on your photos so you can see the plane better ;)
Cool looking people transporting tube with wings, awesome attention to detail.
Erm the predecessor says f15 and that doesn't look like an f16 either..
Looks good but a couple of extra screenshots would have been nice (you can use 3 by default). Ps how on earth did u come across this build?
