Looks good but definite flight issues. I’d avoid large wing section as they tend to bend and show through the wing unless anchored at the other end. Personally I’d shrink wing sections down and bury deep in the build where they won’t be seen. Flaps have been mirrored so you need to reverse the input otherwise when you go to use them it just induces one a heck of a roll. I recommend taking a few hours just flying a build before posting in case there’s stuff you’ve missed or you’re not happy how the build handles - there’s no rush for posting builds after all, we’ll still all be here! Good looking build though!
Glad you're back! @GhostHTX (and seemingly to stay!!) I normally build over a period of months/years so this sort of challenge was refreshing but nonetheless damn vexing to meet the requirements.
Damn good stuff regardless! Noticed you’re on iOS still - unless it’s a decrepit old device like my brick you should be able to get designer suite and replicas should be a doddle to do :) @GhostHTX
Cheers, very kind of you! @Krikkit42 yeah I didn’t realise how hard it is to build with 50pts or less - I like the look of your entry I’ll have to take it for a spin!
Reference to the ejector seats? Yup, only the two pilots had ejector seats. Everyone in the back had to bail out - unfortunately a lot of accidents happened at low level/landing or takeoff which rendered bail out attempts useless for the rear crew. The pilots would walk away though.... @Haytham115
How does the new label curve direction help anyone? I thought as opposed to the original wrap, i.e. around a vertical cylinder, it would wrap around a horizontal cylinder - yet it only seems to tilt the middle out 45 degrees. Is this a bug or am I being thick? Apologies if someone has already registered this.
Thank you! I think you are all trying to get me on a bite ref the superjet ;) check the description and look at the plans at the bottom - it was built using designer suite and should closely resemble it :) @BlackWidowSquadron
Beautiful build, really captures the spit in all its splendour! I know tail draggers are a handful on the deck and this took a few attempts to take off without going into a tank slapper. Shame the underside camo wasn’t continued from the front cowling for the rest of the build. Lovely job all in all!
Thanks @RaendyLeBeau kind of you! Yeah made this one a while back - doing a livery like this is so much easier now thank heavens!!
I do like the ‘bowling shoe’ northwest livery - great job!
+2Hmmmmm….. seems a heavy Russian bias ;) on a serious note how did we all score?
Not at all it’s a good looking build! @Otana

+2I’m quite proud to say I didn’t upvote the original. Nor shall I this one.
+1Christ this looks good. It’s a shame after all these updates there still isn’t an alternative to the horrid sound of a Cessna engine…..
Clearly 3 days ago when I made that comment it wasn’t the case @Almostbutnotquite
I’m glad someone else clocked the octopussy intro!
Glad you're back! @GhostHTX (and seemingly to stay!!) I normally build over a period of months/years so this sort of challenge was refreshing but nonetheless damn vexing to meet the requirements.
+1Sounds lucrative! I’m sure there’s most definitely a demand! @Augusta81
Upvoted because I smelt Lambo….. what is this wizardry however where one can have one part badges/insignia of sorts?!?
Damn good stuff regardless! Noticed you’re on iOS still - unless it’s a decrepit old device like my brick you should be able to get designer suite and replicas should be a doddle to do :) @GhostHTX
+1Definite intruder/marauder vibe - v nice!!
+1Upvoted for the build itself (politics aside) - opening sentence a touch close to the bone for some maybe.
+6Cheers, very kind of you! @Krikkit42 yeah I didn’t realise how hard it is to build with 50pts or less - I like the look of your entry I’ll have to take it for a spin!
+1Good looking build and you’re, ahem bronze!?!
+2Indicator of a meme build - more upvotes than downloads.....

+1Sorry, that was next in line to be completed but I seem to have distracted myself with a sea vixen :) @VincenzoYoutube47

Fair play!! I look forward to your next builds! @Bogey
Bud, how are you bronze!?!?
Great looking build! How do you get to play underwater with it - it’s not a mod is it?
+1Naval craft was better!
+5No no no no.....
Much preferable to meme builds! Have a spotlight!
+1Find the xml wings buried at the wind root and add more. I don’t like infinite fuel and put in enough to potter around between islands. @Stevan
+1Glad to see you building again old bean! Spiffing kite btw!
+1Yeah Blackburn! :)
Thank you! I think you are all trying to get me on a bite ref the superjet ;) check the description and look at the plans at the bottom - it was built using designer suite and should closely resemble it :) @BlackWidowSquadron
+1Hmmmm.....something smells fishy. Is this your work?

+1Yes. I’ll try and get it finished - quite busy just now might have to wait till the weekend if you want to be tagged? @Whycantimakeagoodplane66
It’s not been posted or finished so nope! @Whycantimakeagoodplane66
Not quite. Read the background info and you’ll see this predates the superjet. @EnzoDiazUnofficial
I hate to sound negative but how many Apache builds is that now?!?
Right. @GabrielFangster70
No @GabrielFangster70
There’s a phair phew phantom puns here….
+1My thoughts exactly - why did they not at least round the damn things off when they updated the part though!?! @Johnnyynf
+2Nice straight forward 111!
+1You can never drink too much tea! @Arisu
Lovely job!
Bcal livery is a beaut, lively job!
Blimey this looks good!!
Tragically short of attention - great work!
Looks top notch, count me in #T :)
That’s one hard wing profile to replica - speaking from experience. That 2nd thumbnail looks the business! Damn fine job!
+3The legend returns with another great design! Although it seems flying cartoon characters are the flavour of the month :)
