MY FAVORITE BLUE PAINT...
@MrMecha Yeah, I thought this kind of build would go well with the bright colours...
@SuperHappyFoo Always good advice...
WARNING: Do not crash
@Tully2001 Here you go.
@Treadmill103 Thanks. More tea?
@Tully2001 No offense taken, but most of my planes are highly stylized, not meant to be realistic. The wings are thick so that the curve looks prettier when the light reflects off it.
Other things you might point out are that the two wings are too close together - this would cause turbulent drag between them. The lack of landing gear, no visible control surfaces, no exhaust for the jet engine, the nose looking like a prop engine but with no prop, etc. And of course, since 1940 or so, it makes no sense to make biplanes at all.
@mushr0om Hmm. Look forward to being able to use it.
@SledDriver Advanced rendering 2. not released though
@mushr0om Thanks. What mod are you using to get graphics like that?
Looks awesome
