Introduction
Designed and built for the Fleet Air Arm by Rambojutter Ltd. the Brasshead was also exported to other allies. It was designed to be a twin engined aircraft that was not much bigger than the equivalent single engine fighters of the time. This example is displayed in the colours it wore when serving with the USN in the pacific theatre.
Controls/features
AG1= Start the engines
AG2= Close/open the canopy
AG3= Fold the outer wings for storage
AG4= Arrestor hook

Other Pictures

Notes
Designed around my triangular fuselage with Bristol Beaufighter fuselage position/size and using Grumman Bearcat style wings, tail and fin I think it came together as a nice aircraft.

Beaufighter and f7 bastard child
@Droidy247 I might, i did want to revisit that one but i never intended for the wings to fold etc. so might be a big job.
Just want to suggest if you can make a world war 2 era carrier borne jet fighter with a flying wing design same as your DeHavilland Werewolf?
@ChiChiWerx thanks but I can't take credit for that, someone a long time ago (so long I've forgotten who, it was before masters moved to discord) gave me a 2x2 panelled cylinder, I just use that as the basis and scale or alter to suit.
Some very interesting build techniques employed here. Plus, your paneling work is absolutely perfect. In game, I kept looking at the nacelles, trying to convince myself that it was some new shaped piece I wasn’t aware of, but, no, they’re paneled! Nice work!
@RamboJutter yes :)))
@AzureCorp lol like this or this
And, i have on more suggestion: Something like the F-106! A high speed-single engine interceptor
Oh. Sorry. @Star737
@AzureCorp thanks :)
@RamboJutter They all look awesome! Ill drop some updoots
@AzureCorp you got me thinking, i kinda have already done what you suggested here and i also did a sort of early jet type as well here not to mention a vietnam style twin boom here so i kinda think i have done this to death for now =)
@Subnerdica he said that in the description (-_-)
@Subnerdica its a cross between a grumman bearcat and a Bristol beaufighter.
kinda looks like a cross between a corsair and a beaufighter
@RamboJutter Yeah sorry about the confusion lol. Ill look forward to it anyways!
@AzureCorp ah now that makes much more sense lol. I made a kit of the whirlwind last Christmas so that's apt really.
@RamboJutter omg i meant whirlwind lol sorry about the confusion
@AzureCorp what do you mean by wyvern then? I thought you meant the westland wyvern which was a single engine turboprop carrierbourne fighter?
@RamboJutter Oh, sorry. By similar, i meant they have 2 engines, and nose guns, which for 2 engines, was kinda uncommon for lighter fighters. But yes, i understand. i will look foward to that wyvern!
@AzureCorp yeah I intentionally made them large as I was trying to make the rest look smaller in comparison (imagine the engines are wasp double radials like on the p47, the fuselage only needs to be big enough to fit the pilot hence its much smaller). The wyvern and p38 are not similar in any way lol, I might do a not quite a wyvern though.
Also, What do you think of the engines in the wings? In my opinion, they look oversized, but add a creative speck to it.
My suggestion: Make a mix between the P-38 and the Westland Wyvern! They look similar. I know you aren't a replica maker, but in my opinion, i think you can do something similar with your skill.
Also, Great plane! I had fun playing with it.
@RamboJutter
Not a PC issue
Well I mean my laptop starts to melt at 300...
@ThomasRoderick yeah it was getting that way so I stopped adding :) plus once I get over 1200 the game seems to lag a bit (not a pc issue for sure)
