Nice build, the first thing I thought was seaplane! That would also work around the tiddly LG. Chuck some Sunderland style floats on the wings and bingo! Good work though!
I think if I remember rightly I liked the fuselage shape and just scaled it up rather painfully until it was full scale. About the Brabazon, that was supposed to be an unlisted post as you could probably tell - I actually need to post another build before I start the brab, but I got carried away! Thanks for pointing it out to me! @asteroidbook345
Yeah would love to build a viscount, it’s been on my radar for a while but I don’t really have the time anymore, what would you need help with? @MaxB17
Good idea, quite frankly I had a notion to morph this into a Barracuda myself but I wasn’t feeling the personal interest so I didn’t bother. By all means use this as a base for another Barracuda - it needs a rather large chin intake and struts on the tailplane too. Good luck!
Cheers mate! I remember reading somewhere due to the wooden construction it gave a poor return on radar - further adding to the allusiveness that made it a great raider. @Trainzo
“Glide ratio of a boot” :) yeah I was hesitant about adding more wings as in the past I just ended up with a plane that had no stall point - so I decided to err on the side of caution rather mistakenly. Trim tabs where a little venture from off having two hinges for the elevators and tbh probably more hassle than they were worth. Feedback much appreciated - plenty of food for thought! @BogdanX
Reminds me of my first builds! Don’t be afraid to adjust the fuselage sections to make a more aerodynamic shape. You can also make them “shape around” wings sections and make quite realistic looking planes. Welcome to SP!!
I’m a big fan of your work so humour me.... those screenshots make it look quite graceful and elegant, that plan view makes an absolute hash of those images. Nice build though!
Personally I wouldn’t have re-uploaded but I won’t judge - the original deserved more attention most definitely. Sometimes that’s the damn nuisance/mystery of this game. You build something over a period of months and it gets mediocre attention at best - cobble something together (teaser/video/comment) in a few hours and it storms ahead.
Thanks buddy, you're far too kind but thank you! @Trainzo
This is very, very good for beginner!
Nice subject material once again mon amie!
Sexual healing.
It just dropped into jet stream so assumed it was just built, I see the original now. @Shippy456

Bugger.....
I made one of these years ago, not enough of these on this site I think, good stuff!
Never done a hollow fuselage or cockpit, I tend to avoid them as it’s quite fiddly with an iPad @MaxB17

This really looks magnificent cutting around the sky!
Very cool!
Very nice, effortless flight characteristics!
I remember seeing Dutch boats in den Helder with the same fin configuration and always wondered what the benefit was. Good stuff once more!
Did anyone else think of McCalls ‘Convoy’ song when they saw this.....! Lovely job!
Sorry, I’m more or less winding down with this and don’t have / never did have time to build requests. Why don’t you build one? @MarinoYeet
No worries, it’s a rather novel build! @Avro683Lancaster
Awesome! AA capability version next?
It flies. It dies!
Fastest Indian, what a movie!
Pretty damn neat, love the camo job. Tailplane and fin are a little blocky spoiling things a bit, nice build though!
Most vexing. Try mirroring and then mirroring the opposite way. Bit of a pain if you have lettering and working flaps etc.
Loved tintin as a kid!
Funny world, working on a BP myself..... a “daffy” in fact. Lovely looking stuff here!
Awesome job! The cockpit detail must have taken you ages!
Thanks old sport, luckily I found a PR type that had the simpler two tone roundels! @GhostHTX
Thanks for your input! @jamesPLANESii
Or upvote something your impressed with? :) @Caden313
You are quite right @wonkapilot in fact all bomber variants, i.e. with a glass nose rather than PR types, had pointed front windscreens.
Thank you very much @BusterShortWolf I didn’t realise the mossie was such a fav with people - after all you don’t see them too often.
mosquito hits mountain. Mosquito bounces off then explodes! :) @ThePilotDude
Of course! @Nickr

Thanks kindly! @ThePilotDude and I agree with you there, ever since watching 633Sqn as a kid!

Beautiful! My ipad can run this and a wingman!
Awesome movie!
Wow, along with that useful information and welcome was there an upvote making its way here? :) @CrashFighter05
Awesome! One of the first things I built was a He-111!
Crimson tide. Great movie. Great build once more!!
Most enjoyable, I can’t fathom out how you make a sea plane fly so well!
Like the idea, I’ll take her for a spin shortly!
Interesting bit of info there!

That’s one LARGE bird!

P.s if upvotes are mandatory build a Russian Su-35/Mig29 - they seem to get them all! :)

Brilliant, top job with this! 1:1 scale but of course!
