1000 Points Silver Miles Hawk Major
Thank you all for helping me reach 1000 points. To celebrate my new 'Silver' status, here is my Miles Hawk in classic silver dope livery, upgraded to a late 1930's Hawk Major. Enjoy!
As with the original Hawk Major, this airplane has a new, more powerful engine (Raising the top speed from 120 mph to 135), a new enclosed landing gear and split trailing edge flaps that are more like air brakes. (They are useless as takeoff help, but do a good job bringing down the speed in the last stretch of the landing approach)
And if you haven't yet, check out the original and the racing version:
-Miles Hawk 2A early series: The original
-Miles Hawk Speed Six racing plane
Update: I wanted the new plane to still use only 100 parts to comply with the rules for @Winswings VR100 challenge . However after uploading the previous version of the plane, I noticed it somehow clocked in at 101 parts, so I deleted the middle piece of the exhaust pipe to bring this version back in compliance (Honestly, that's the only thing that's changed between this and the previous version. Call me a beancounter, but honestly I feel better this way)
