@Tang0five he seemed happy enough any way and didn't seem at all bothered anymore that I'm still playing with his designs :) happy days really. Plus he's working on an me109 twin thing.
Hmmm, not too sure what any of that means old fellow but SBD sounds enthusiastic. @RamboJutter
@Tang0five I messages sbd about the flying boat based on his supermarine300 and this was his reply, "Small-Brown-Dog said the following:
Hey, thats a cool concept - perhaps I could work you into the devlopment line as a designer at Supermarine <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title=";) (Wink)"/><br /><br />I was standing right next to the SR A1 back in June at the Solent Sky museum.<br /><br />I got an email telling me there was a post on SP but I have lost my login details and for some reason no reply came when I requested new PW.<br /><br />I'm working on a new website so as to log the technology so new stuff might be a while in coming but I have 3/4 built German fighting twin loosely based on the 109 like the Hound is loosley based on the Hurricane.
@Tang0five yeah I'll work on the bomber at a later date but will probably do exactly what you have suggested. Yes it sits tail heavy in the water because of the float moving forwards and thus moving the step, I'm tinkering with that as well as a few other bits before I camo it up. Thinking of keeping the scheme from the last build. My imagination is a bit limited but when you have 3 or 4 planes I can pull together into one I'm happy :)
Fantastic! Like the love child of a Blackburn/Saro union! Fighter look good, I think a bomber version would also be pretty neat. Maybe with four engines housed close together like on nimrod but mid wing spar as they are now. Performance is pretty decent and the floats folding to become the wing is very neat. You must have one hell of an imagination! Don’t know if it’s my device on low settings and quite a trivial matter, but I think she would look better more ‘upright’ in the water. Awesome stuff once more and thanks for the preview! @RamboJutter
@Tang0five so completely fictional work in progress using the retractable float principle, suggestions welcome as always (ps its a fighter size at present but it wouldnt take much to change it to a Shorts Sunderland type size =) )
