Another quick one from me, as life is bloody hectic lately;

The Sopwith Type 21. The Shadow. A dieselpunk take on what a late WW 1 era fighter might look like.

Features;
- “head shake” pilot view (cam 1)
- animated controls (well, the stick, anyway)
- an actual rotary engine with some detail
- “smooth” control surfaces (thanks to Rambojutter for the tips on the wings)
- Four hispano 20mm cannon
- no trim function. This is a hands on stick at all times kinda crate.
- will snap roll like a champion.
No special controls, just throttle up and off you go.

Pip pip and good hunting, chaps!

    Sorry to hear of your work woes, trust me you have my full sympathy - been there, done that. I have four earstwhile rug-rats, and I know the score. If you ever want a holiday in Italy, give me a call. Toodle-pip!@GhostHTX

    Most kind of you old boy. Ive been made redundant, you see. This results in me being at home and full time carer for our lovely little man who, at 11 months old requires my constant attention. Cuts into my «me time» most frightfully. It is good fun, though, kids and all that.
    I will say that regardless of how slow you build, my dear fellow, you build quality. @Alien

    Oh yes, you little Fokker. What's with all these "quick ones" that beat the crap out of my (exceedingly) slow ones? Have a little upvote old bean.

    Ah. Ok. Still, 250 parts or so is more than enough, I think. @Colonel1J2R3Wolf

    @GhostHTX The limit was removed, I might not be able to run it, but the read the large lettering at the end of the challenge page! and I have no idea what we were talking about.

    A wee bit over the 250 part limit, but I hope it is ok?
