Production - 1916-1917

@Toscio56 Ah right, ok :D maybe a step by step of a cockpit? idk. Cool plane anyway! :D
@EternalDarkness well, understood then.
@Toscio56 I'm not asking you to explain and show me every single detail, or how to use Google to find info about something. What I'm interested in is the general technique you use to achieve such performance. I could probably figure it out myself, but I'm too busy these days. Anyway, thanks for considering...
@EternalDarkness @Seabo14 Making tutorials will NOT be worth for only few builders hopefully. I will try making brief biplane tutorials at the first onset.
However, it takes over 12hours to build a plane with same detail level as this.
Plus, Collecting materials and information about the plane will suspend that much.
So streaming may not be suitable for me then.
Anyway, thank you for your nice suggestion!
@EternalDarkness I agree with the tutorial idea. Maybe @Toscio56 you could do a twitch broadcast of a build? This plane is amazing, maybe you could try a DH.2 next?
Looks and flies amazing
I have upvoted this plane when I first saw it. Since then, it has been sitting in my favorites. I finally came around to test it.
Conclusion:
How do I upvote one model twice? Great overall look, excellent cockpit, perfect maneuvering... Have you thought about making a tutorial for making planes like this? I'm impressed.
!dogfight with @tachibana 's Macchi M.5 -1

I was inspired by the great creation. I have dreamed of fight over floatplane vs Flying boat on WWI setting since i saw tachibana's M.5.
I have a model@MrSilverWolf
And this thing is awesome
Could you do an S.E.5a next? (Because mine is quite frankly terrible)
Really nice. If you want more references, here's it's land based version.
Nice, I like the look of this a lot.
Love your biplanes! By any chance could you do a Neiuport 17 next?
