Random R-40 Greyhound
This is the Random Industries R-40 Greyhound
Here is the (fictional) backstory:
During WW2, Random Industries was asked to design a fighter aircraft for the US Air Force. The company didn’t really want to, since they were already building many top secret aircraft for their own country (I haven’t thought of a name for the country yet), but they decided to try it after doing some research on the enemy.
A few months later, they had their first prototype. It flew extremely fast, but it could also slow down very nicely. It didn’t turn very well, but the designers would fix that soon.
After a few revisions they had this.
It was everything that they needed, so they sent some to the USAF for them to try. After a while, the R-40 became a feared aircraft by the enemy. It could zoom in, shoot down a plane, and get out before the other pilots could react to it. After a while, the enemy pilots even called it ”The Silver Nerfer”
So, that’s the backstory, now for the actual plane.
Controls
Normal plane controls
VTOL= flaps
Act 1= open cowling
Act 2 and 3= lights
Act 4= drop tanks
Features
Full custom cockpit with funky trees
Flaps
Opening engine cowling
Some other stuff that I’m proud of
Cockpit (from left to right)
The white bar with the red indicator is the fuel gauge
The white cylinder that sticks out sideways (on the left) is the slip indicator
The big one in the middle is for IAS
The one just to the right of that is for Altitude
The one to the far right is AltitudeAgl
Also, the AltitudeAgl one moves twice as fast as the other one.
Notes
I am very proud of this plane because it is one of my highest part count builds and I put a lot of work into it. I used new build techniques so that I could make more features, like the opening cowling and the cockpit.
I really hope that everyone enjoys flying this plane! Have fun!

Thanks for all of the upvotes and spotlights everybody! It has been 8 hours now and this is still on the first page of hottest airplanes!
Also thanks to @DickBrazen for the name Silver Nerfer
@Random40 i just thought that because i was doing it with everyone else i would do
It with you too
@NikoFox
Repaint for this plane? The colors wouldn’t matter to me. Also, you don’t have to make something for me just because I upvoted your post.
@Random40 hey, as a thanks for upvoting a creation of mine, Im making Citaro Arrowspeed GT repaints, please tell me what colors you would like on it
Silver Nerfer? That's a great name not gonna lie
Oof@Random40
Awesome!
@ChisP
I would like to but I’m on ios so I can’t use mods...
Once I get an actual computer I’m going to do that.
You need a better picture for your builds try using the screenshots mod and then zoom mod to limit the field of view. That’s what I did on my f-16 screenshot
