@JuiceBotYT idk
@asteroidbook345 why is the f14 so chunky
This is so legit Nostalgia plane!!
This is for my S-75 Dvina
@CaptainSquadronLeaderX yeah it’s fine
@asteroidbook345 I’m going to make a variant I saw on Wikipedia when I clicked on the blue thing. I just want to check if your ok with this and this not an entry to the challenge
Very Nice!
@foxBHmY probably
Can this plane be shot down by Sam 2 missile:)
okay@asteroidbook345
@Fox00One The F-14 is a full 3m longer
@Fox00One The B-25 is taller for obvious reasons but they're pretty similar in length and wingspan, the F-14 might even be a little bigger
@Fox00One Yeah I have a 1:48 scale model of both of them and they're roughly the same size
@asteroidbook345 HOL UP
@Fox00One Lol yeah the Hornet is big. The F-14 is like the same size as a B-25 somehow
@asteroidbook345 yeah I downloaded this and then when I was about to switch to my f-18, I pressed the save and I was like: HOLY SH#T THAT HORNET IS BIG AF (it was 1:1 scale too lmao)
@Fox00One It's pretty small, but it only needs to hold one person. Surprisingly it's about the same size as my T-32
I just realized how small the U-2 actually is lmao
SA2/HQ-2:wow:-D
@asteroidbook345 lol understand XD
@FabioGalvao5679 I don’t know because I’m not him
@asteroidbook345 is that it was a question for you if he is always available for me to take pictures
@FabioGalvao5679 Yeah, I don't know why you need to ask me to do that
hello @asteroidbook345, can I ask Kennneth for help in taking some custom photos of some of my buildings that aren't ready yet?
Noice
