Hey guys here us the 4th of my bomber project
This is the short stirling
Hopefully you enjoy
Note: DONT FLY CLOSE TO THE GROUND WHEN YOU DROP THE BOOM 50'S, THEY WILL CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION AND BLOW YOU UP!!!!!!!!!
And this needs a lot of runway to takeoff
Anyway
Controls:
1-3 + Vtol=Turrets
Also has:
25 Boom 50's
25 Boom 25's
History:
The Short Stirling was the first four-engined British heavy bomber of the Second World War.
The Stirling was designed by Short Brothers to meet an Air Ministryspecification from 1936. When the preferred design from Supermarine had to be abandoned, the Stirling was ordered for the RAF. It entered service in early 1941 but had a relatively brief operational career as a bomber, being relegated to second line duties from late 1943, when other more capable four-engined RAF bombers, specifically the Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster, took over the strategic bombing of Germany

@DragonAerotech
She's almost done
@SimpleFlow Sweet, can't wait to see her! She partly inspired the Ukkonen Strategic Bomber I released. XD
@DragonAerotech
Glazed
@SimpleFlow Oooh I can't wait, is this with the glazed nose or turreted nose? ^_^
@DragonAerotech
Thanks for the following me :D
im almost done my hanley page Halifax also
@SimpleFlow Oooh okay, still, you made a good choice though to make her wings a bit longer because I don't think SP's physics would allow it to take off even on a long landing strip if you had made it 1:1 scale. The Stirling's weakness was her short wingspan, being underpowered and having a relatively low service ceiling as a result. That's what happens when beaurocrats get involved in the specifics of an aircraft. Her short wingspan was the result of a prerequisite that the wingspan was to fit within a standard RAF hangar. <.<; lol 20 more bombers?! That's it, you've got a new follower!! XD
@Ragebus
Thanks
Ps i still have a to do list of about 20 bombers
@DragonAerotech
Dude i just build her like that I didn't scale anithing
Very nice, I've been asking for one of these! :-D Your's is a tad overscale but that can't be helped due to the weight of parts and fuel. However if you hadn't have scaled her up I highly doubt it would have been able to take off from our runways with a 99.08' wingspan using our game mechanics! lol
Your ww2 replicas are so realistic! hope you keep making more of them.
@Treadmill103
Thanks
the ones with the stubby wings
Really well done.
what model exactly?
because the only stirlings that i know are the mk1a and mk3b
@PlanesOfOld
It's crazy
On my Halifax if I start it at yeager finally approach it can glide further than the bridge!!😵
@Areonautics3
Landcaster is next though
@Areonautics3
Working on a HP Halifax alwready
@PlanesOfOld
Hey im on an ipad too
And thanks
Ps im working on the HP Halifax
Lancaster please!
Nice! I love the landing gear I couldn't do it on mine lol my iPad couldn't handle it!
@TheChosenZebra
Thankksssssss
nicceeeee
@DisferGoatz
This one was for you
@SimpleFlow, no problem!
If only the 7.7s took out planes like they did in this game.
@RedFalcon
Thanks
