1940 XVI 'Wasp'

43.9k PlanesOfOld  8.1 years ago

I built this a few days after the last patch on mobile but didn't release it because it was a bugger to fly.. And whilst now it's still a bugger to land and take off, the flying bit is just about fixed.

The purpose of this build was to test out the aesthetic capabilities of the new intakes. I think I may have been the first (2 days after patch release) to have used these as exaust pipes. And I'm most certainly the first to use them as gun shields. Or whatever they are called. Anyway backstories... Hmm let me think...


This areoplane (not airplane) was designed to fulfil the specific task of dropping supplies over occupied teritory, it was reliable agile, and it could take a beating, its main feature was the resemblance to another aircraft that was in use by Nazi Germany over occupied Europe (total BS btw) it was small cheap and easy to build and had various clever innovations enabling it to be stowed in a cramped space (EG a barn) a quiet engine, and also three yes three seats, whilst you cannot see them I assure you, they are there.... One behind the pilot and a place for a stretcher in the rear fuselage... All of this made it an eccelent plane for spy networks, plans were given out so they could build them and fly wounded to England. Or just have a nice fly about doing recon...

Yeah yeah it has none of the above but I'm a notoriously good advertiser and BSter so you have probably expected that from me lol,

Anyway, have fun with this plane, and also, be careful it's a right donkey to get into the sky and back down again! (Spawn in air if u can't take off, it's hit and miss... But mostly miss)


ENJOY! :)

    It certainly has, but don't worry I've still got my WIP's I just need my new laptop (bloody Amazon delays) to finish them, and boy o boy have I made a smexy stealth jet..., I've succeeded in a dream of mine, to create a jet that is as sleek as a snow leopard although, at the moment it has the grace of a one legged blind badger. @Cedy117
