KE-48A Schwalbe
INTRO
So,here it is. My best plane yet. It took me about a month to design and build and I would say its done. As always i tried to improve from my last build in as many ways as possible. So what have I improved? Well, mainly the landing gear, the flight performance and the build quality plus i also tried to do some fuselage art for the first time (on the tail )Im super happy with it and im happy to hear your thoughts
HISTORY (fictional)
The Schwalbe was designed in 1958 by KUBI Flugzeugwerke AG in Aargau, Switzerland. It was designed because the Swiss air force was looking for new airplanes to replace the outdated Vampire FB 5. The main contenders were the Schwalbe and the Hawker Hunter. Because of the outdated design of the Schwalbe, and the Hunters abillity to carry a lot more ordonance, the Hawker won the competetion.Thus, the Schwalbe never entered the stage of militarization and no armed version was built. Of the 25 Schwalbe Planes built 12 got put in Museums today all over switzerland and its neighboring countrys after KUBI Flugzeugwerke AG officially filed for bankrupcy in 1972. The rest was lost or destroyed.

@Mustang51
Let me know what you think! And what can i improve?
Schwalbe.... that reminds me of something "it went by like we were standing still"💀
Merci ;)@RaendyLeBeau

thank you man! glad you like it @Mustang51
@KUBI my god this is fantastic! Honestly one of the coolest looking realistic fictional aircraft I’ve seen on SP
@DasSchweizeHeliPilot thx ! ich chume vo bade (aargau) aber en kolleg vo mer wohnt i basel :)
I am Swiss and I love your builds. I am from Basel Stadt
Thx!@Krmo
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!@ChrisPy
I love everything abt this! Your style reminds me a bit of mikoyansters but more realistic! I find the design quite cool but I feel like it should have a dual engine in the back due to the double intakes. Everything is awesome you deserve a spotlight!
Wow
Np !@MrGreen
@KUBI Thank you very much!
sure! Just make sure to credit me! And have fun reworking it to however you like it@MrGreen
Can I please adjust it a little bit (make a glass cockpit, implement steering lock script etc) and then upload it?
thank you so much!@Random04
Saw it on discord, damn this is so good
thx! @edensk

Np lol@ZWLenning
