Heavens above! My thanks to you all! Apologies for releasing a similar build on the bounce as it were, exploding ailerons and missing intakes did warrant a quiet word with myself. I figured had Hawker gone ahead with this type it naturally would have been proposed to the FAA. (When we used to have one of course.....)

As ever I’m amazed at your eye for replicating a design which is spot on. I’ve only tweaked your profile shot is of a bike - is this an interest of yours @RamboJutter ?
Not too bad, all this talk of a BBQ summer has inadvertently had the effect of performing a rain dance - so nothing out the ordinary! How’s our brethren across the pond? @ChiChiWerx
@Alien spoken like a true professional. Self-effacing and most gracious of you. The average person (myself included) has no idea of the daring-do yourself and your oppos got up to in the ether above our heads and I'm sure it would be one hell of a read! After all you've piloted some iconic all British fighters - the likes of which (sadly) we probably wont ever see again.
There's a certain menacing purposefulness about the Hetzer you've captured spot on here. German armour in the second world war took some beating and regularly held off greater numbers of their allied counterparts.
Good to here that and thanks for answering my curiosity! Regarding the previous episode you mentioned - have you ever thought about writing a book about your experiences?
I know you could regale me for hours about being a fighter pilot but I had a specific question in mind ref the Lightning. I know The Lightning had a hell of a lot of power and speed but how was it for an old fashion dog fight - I mean could it match/out turn the migs of the day? My old maths teacher was an ex lightning pilot. Brilliant guy, mad as a hatter but what a teacher.
Cheers buddy, (on iOS anyway!) I move one identical part on top of another and move it down until you get the split so it doesn’t glitch through - then with bits like elevators I move one half forwards/backwards one “notch” on the fine tuner and then one “notch” left / right. As you can see from my wing root it’s not always 100%, good luck! @CALVIN232
By Jove! Humbled by your generosity once more! @GhostHTX Rather carelessly I’ve arsed around with the prop size and there’s now a disparity that I keep looking at in the profile view. Equally glaringly I’ve missed an air intake towards the front it seems.....ah, I should quit drinking.....
Thanks muchly! @ChiChiWerx although there is trouble with the ailerons exploding with heavy banking at speed due to the two tone camo effect on wings.....
hmmm, absolutely beautiful! Would love to see a description. Don’t understand why people make such awesome builds and there’s not so much as a pip as to say “this is what I’ve been hiding from daylight making”.... lovely work by the way!
Maybe so, nice build though!
“It really annoys me how 80% of my posts are forums” - what is this telling you?

Humbled and in debted to you Sir! Am I to assume our interest categories overlap somewhere? @RamboJutter
As ever I’m amazed at your eye for replicating a design which is spot on. I’ve only tweaked your profile shot is of a bike - is this an interest of yours @RamboJutter ?
Many thanks again and for spotlighting my mediocrity! @RamboJutter
I was never any good at colouring in, looks and flies great though!
Thanks @CRJ900Pilot glad you think so!
What a beauty! Have a spotlight for your efforts!
Not too bad, all this talk of a BBQ summer has inadvertently had the effect of performing a rain dance - so nothing out the ordinary! How’s our brethren across the pond? @ChiChiWerx
Absolutely tip top old bean! I’d better spotlight whilst I still can....
Not enough time old boy, got many-a semi completed projects though I keep distracting myself with! How’s the “Buck” coming? @RamboJutter
@RCBOSS cool alternative timeline concept as well!
There's not enough (a) bike on this site and (b) classic bikes. iOS built as well gives me hope!

Nice insignia!

As ever no dramas! @SgtK

Oh, I had no idea, good to be corrected! @EnglishWhiskey
Rather nice but shouldn’t it be sons of the motherland!?....
Loud and clear! @MrKoT
Lovely job, I made one of these a while back and in the process of giving it an upgrade as they are quite rare!
Most splendiferous! Quite envious of your working control surfaces I must say! (and you’d only find that sort of comment in SimplePlanes...)
Many thanks! @USSR and @RCBOSS
No problem, nice work! @Trainzo
I like!
@JettStorm and @DestinyAviation my thanks to you both!

Cheers buddy, I don’t know where I’d be without the internet for inspiration! @CRJ900Pilot
@danman12 @Carbonfox1@SledDriver and @grizzlitn many thanks to you all once more!

Oh....this looks mean!
Rather spiffing old boy!
Makes me want to listen to zz top!
A most glorious build! The missile, almost, almost can be controlled (by me being an amateur) and is actually quite fun to try to fly as it is!
Yeah I won’t hold it against him! Nice work, shame there’s nothing there though... @F104Deathtrap
hmmm, absolutely beautiful! Would love to see a description. Don’t understand why people make such awesome builds and there’s not so much as a pip as to say “this is what I’ve been hiding from daylight making”.... lovely work by the way!
Looking good so far!
Bags of fun and great looking build too!
Thank you both! @SledDriver and @JettStorm
Thanks @DestinyAviation and for the spotlight too most kind of you!
@LostNight and @RamboJutter thank you both!
Many thanks me old mucker! @GhostHTX
With 15 inch guns.....@Hawkeye156
You’re most welcome! @Darjeelings183 I think the shear number of spotlights speak volumes for a job well done!
Anyone remember rogue squadron on N64.....”Activate harpoon......” I reckon you should do the full ensemble!
Using iOS I have absolutely no clue what must be involved in this script process. Must be bloomin epic though, they do look pretty fantastic!
