The Martin-Baker MB 3 was a British prototype fighter aircraft, developed from Martin-Baker’s earlier private ventures, the MB 1 and the MB 2. The design was notable for its heavy armament of six 20 mm Hispano cannons. The fatal crash of the only prototype led to the cancellation of the programme. The design would carry over into a planned MB 4, but this cancelled in favour of a moderate re-design in the form of the MB 5. More information

@LasagnawithasideofA10 Thanks
@MartGB Thanks
Nice
Jeeh, been looking at your page and in awe of your build style(tryna get like you, havent quite grasped custom wings etc yet tho) and even more so in your taste of aircraft that you decide to build, the MB.5 is even better looking… gives me the impression of what’d happen if you took a mustang and spitfire together combining them into one plane and i bet had it had the focus of the ministry and prolonged development etc it probably would have shown just that in performance.

@Mustang51 Do you have an example of how I could make a good forum post?
@Darkmoon well nowadays I feel like you have to make a forum post about it beforehand to build up some hype and get people to ask to be tagged. Then once you post it, you tag those people and hopefully they upvote relatively quickly so that it stays at the top of the hot page for a while. I’d also post it at a time when people are leaving work/at home from school so that it gets seen by more people quickly. I’ve also heard it’s best to post in the middle of the week and not Friday Saturday or Sunday since people will often likely be more busy with other things. I used to do some Instagram account managing on the side while I was in uni and that last point is something I learnt there so I don’t know if that will work on SP. Also, I think the first thumbnail should be a good zoomed in shot of the aircraft that shows the whole thing from a nice angle and definitely use all 3 of the thumbnail images you’re allowed to use. One other thing, after you posted your build, comment and upvote on a lot of other peoples builds that were posted on the same day (as long as you would normally upvote it of course) because some of the people will then check out your page and see your most recent build. I didn’t do that last one on purpose but when I’m on the app I like to interact with other users and I found that the people whose build I would like and comment on would then often go and look at my own. Just some tips I’ve learnt over the years
@Mustang51 Do you have any recommendations on what to do next time with my next post and maybe have more luck?
@Darkmoon could be but I doubt it. My highest rated build is a really unknown plane, especially at the time it was posted. Could just be bad timing for posting maybe? Or maybe the screenshot has to show the plane better? I’m not sure but it could be what you said which is a shame because the MB.3 was an incredible aircraft
@Mustang51 It may be that being a very little-known aircraft, it does not attract the attention of many users.
@Mustang51 i agree with you.
I can’t believe this only got 8 upvotes. That isn’t fair at all to how well this is made
@Mustang51 Thanks
This is absolutely beautiful! Very well recreated. A nice amount of detailing and it flies fantastically well. Very very well done
