@TimeTraveler the fuselage was made to measure using scaled down panels all fixed together and then rotated at certain angles to make a circle (7.5° first then 22.5° then 37.5° etc). I did post a 3x3 duct for someone that shows how it's done and can be converted for a fuselage section if required.
Thanks for the spotlights @RAF1 @Supermini555 @CRJ900Pilot @Blue0Bull very much appreciated, this is one of my most successful builds to date now thanks to all.
@MintLynx thanks for the praise, I've just commented on a post from cutangus to let him know I'm using his designs, they are awesome, I've got a couple more of his designs in mind as well. Glad you enjoy my builds, I seem to spend ages making them then only fly them a few times before moving onto the next one :)
@Tang0five thanks for your comments again, I wasn't so keen on the two seat one as it has a butt ugly nose for the radar but the hornet was an awesome bit of kit, takes something to be better than the mosquito. Have a read of winkle browns praise for it, apparently it could look with one engine off :)
@EternalDarkness I based it on the Malaysian maritime aircraft which was white and red, the only other option was yellow and red which was the standard scheme.
@Sarpanitu Yeah I figured that, the problem was the initial placement, it needs to stick to start with so the only option was like you said, lower pylon then attach them nudge pylon into the right place, then nudge each part of the missile into place. When I did this I got them somewhere near where I wanted but then when I went to test fire them some wouldn't release... hence I put standard missiles on that work without the hassle (but don't look as realistic)
@Sarpanitu for me the pylons won't go where I want them the game tries to mount them within the plane because it tries to attach via parts of the missile, I even tried grabbing the detached and trying to put that on a previously mounted pylon but it wouldn't go anywhere near it
@JetKwan yeah it's the way the game works, in reality the control surface movement would be exponential so control would be smoother at high speed, but hey, it's fun :)
@Dimkal I saw the wing had 4 moving panels and just assumed the outer where ailerons, I'll fix it at some point :) as for the acceleration I toned it down as seemed too much. Thanks for the info though.
@Notvarysimpleplanes the lift comes from the small wings, look at the German natter etc, I don't understand the rest of your question, sorry
@Mumpsy there we quite a few different images for it some of which where ultra realistic. I'm in awe of their skills. Sorry I beat you to it though...
@Authros they must have chopped some length off to make em fit ;)
@Tang0five thanks man, it has such small wings I thought it would have to be quick ;)
@MintLynx Wow, ty, have you seen the posts from Small-Brown-dog? Awesome.
@Ihughes13 I'll add helldiver the list of similar aircraft parts :)
@Treadmill103 @mustang51 thanks peeps, glad you like it.
@MintLynx yep, if you know of any other awesome aircraft artists let me know as I'm running low on inspiration.
@EternalDarkness it is rather, just needs the aerials for the nightfighter :)
@Thespirtusraptorfan not really, a good percentage of the parts count is taken up by the camo and bomb bay, try one of the predecessors maybe. Sorry
@Type2volkswagen I did comment on one of his posts to let him know but havent had a response. Nice alterations btw.
@Kerbango cool plane, I built a replica of the cutangus twin ducted fan design a while ago, his designs are awesome.
@ChiChiWerx Thanks, glad you liked it.

@TimeTraveler lol. Yeah it's big.

Wow, all those comments, thank you very much @johawks1976 @F104Deathtrap @ThePilotDude @CoolPeach @Mustang51 @Masterlobster @Strikefighter04
@RailfanEthan @tully2001 thanks for the spotlights, thanks everyone else for the upvotes. Glad you all liked it.
@Valiant2017, thanks for all the upvotes, im glad you like my designs.
@Tang0five the real one out performed most fighters of the day.
@Tang0five not as long as the Bombay :)
@TheRussiansAreComing ah k enjoy your break, hope to see your design in the future.
@TheRussiansAreComing did you ever get round to building something with that ducted fan I made for you?
@MintLynx thanks for the praise, I've just commented on a post from cutangus to let him know I'm using his designs, they are awesome, I've got a couple more of his designs in mind as well.

@mikoyanster lol Wot, it was designed in early 50s as per my description.

@Sgtk i just had a look, yours isnt too shabby either =) Weird plane though isnt it.
@MailboxIsMyGender help yourself, it was one of my v early designs :)
@EternalDarkness ah ok, I only knew of the two main schemes. I want to tweak bits anyway so may do a re-colour, thanks
@EternalDarkness I based it on the Malaysian maritime aircraft which was white and red, the only other option was yellow and red which was the standard scheme.
@EternalDarkness thanks, what should I have done for screenshots?
@Sarpanitu oh and mik did add some to this plane for me :) nice of him/her.
@Sarpanitu Yeah I figured that, the problem was the initial placement, it needs to stick to start with so the only option was like you said, lower pylon then attach them nudge pylon into the right place, then nudge each part of the missile into place.

@Wahoo12 no I don't, might have a look now you have mentioned it though
@Sarpanitu for me the pylons won't go where I want them the game tries to mount them within the plane because it tries to attach via parts of the missile, I even tried grabbing the detached and trying to put that on a previously mounted pylon but it wouldn't go anywhere near it
@MailboxIsMyGender what are u on about?
@MailboxIsMyGender lol wot.
@mikoyanster do I have to use them all or just some? (they are a nightmare btw as all the addon bits mean I cant adjust postions.)
@Tang0five Thanks, the undercarriage was fun, what did you make of the airbrake?
@CRJ900Pilot yep, just like the sketches/drawings of it :)
Someone just deleted their upvote for this, any particular reason?
@JetKwan yeah it's the way the game works, in reality the control surface movement would be exponential so control would be smoother at high speed, but hey, it's fun :)
@laweacosmica its a russian post ww2 trainer/fighter. Google it.
@laweacosmica what is what?
@BACconcordepilot https://morsecode.scphillips.com/translator.html easy beans.
@Tang0five thanks man, I think I made the tail too small but it looked ok when I made it, I increased the angle of the wing fold as well (more magic)
@Tang0five I've made a modded version of this, would you mind if I post it?
First @BACconcordepilot ha.
@Dimkal I saw the wing had 4 moving panels and just assumed the outer where ailerons, I'll fix it at some point :) as for the acceleration I toned it down as seemed too much. Thanks for the info though.
Not a dig but do you ever build your own planes or just mod other people's? Just curious? ;)
