Short 330/C-23B Sherpa
Realised there were some tweaks which needed making after I first uploaded it so deleted the original post so please don’t think this is spam
Anyway without further ado here is my first full detail, full scale and fully functional replica aircraft.
A small, twin turboprop cargo plane designed by Short Brothers in the late 70s as a development of the SC-7 Skyvan, it features a full length cabin capable of carrying up to 3 palates of cargo or 30 passengers and a full width rear cargo ramp/hatch which is capable of both lowering to form a ramp (Activate1)
or lifting up into the fuselage to allow for air dropping of cargo or paratroopers, it also features a cargo door on the port side of the aircraft (Activate4)
. It was used widely by the US army and airforce in Europe during the 80s as a transport aircraft used mainly to carry troops and replacement parts for other aircraft and was also used during the Iraq war as a transport when speed was not a necessity. In it’s later life the C-23B was mainly used for paratrooper training and was installed with static line and inward folding side doors (Activate3)
Controls:
•VTOL down for flaps
•Activate8 for ignition
•Activate7 for landing lights
•Activate6 for wing levelling autopilot
Features:

•realistic performance
•1:1 scale

@EternalDarkness I was going to do a livery but unfortunately my iPad can’t handle many more parts than this but thanks for the support anyway I might do one with lower interior details and a livery
Noice
I’ll agree with that, I don’t know if it’s just me but when I try to upload something my screen get two thick black borders at the top and bottom so it makes taking screenshots a pain @Chancey21
Your Presentation is absolutely terrible, everything else is completely flawless about the project.
The cockpit is just, wow.
Wow this thing phenomenal! The shape of it is damn near perfect and the interior is wonderfully built. Excellent job!
You should have tried a custom livery. Flat sides of Sherpa are ideal for that. Other than that, very nice build.
