Hawker Hunter (Mobile Friendly - 100 Parts)

It's.. not a PEA?

Nope, but it's still mobile friendly at exactly 100 parts. Behold a Hawker Hunter!


You don't get a Wikipedia description, because... I don't get what the point of them is to be honest lol



Hunter over the seas!
So, I built a Hawker Hunter, because I felt like SimplePlanes didn't have enough of them, which truly is a shame since the Hunter is quite beautiful to me.

Now, albeit it is mobile friendly, this Hawker certainly couldn't pass off as part efficient, not just because of the 100 part count, but because of how they're distributed (but there's reasons for all, which I'll explain in parenthesis like these)

-Custom canopy (I felt like the given pre-made canopies weren't perfect for the Hunter)
-Double guns for a tracer effect (You gotta admit, it looks pretty cool, or at least better than without the tracer effect)
-Double countermeasures (Would you like flares or chaff? Good news, you get both!)
-Wing designs (The tail and stabilitors use some aesthetic fuselage blocks to match the blueprint I used, but the wing is comprised entirely of fuselage blocks because the wing would intersect into the intake without this building tactic)
-That nose (High-detail nose in under 100 parts go brr (the nose itself would be under 100 parts))

You can fly them in formation! Extra Hunters not included.


Alright, I've ranted enough about why this isn't a PEA, as fun as they are to make, now let's talk about this plane's features...

As aforementioned, it has not four, but eight cannons (but consider them as four, since the other pair only for that tracer effect). It also sports flares and chaff. Now, I may have messed that part up, because I've never actually seen what the back hump of the Hawker Hunter is, but it works and flies, so it should be good, right?!

Also, this Hunter is fairly maneuverable, unfortunately though, this comes at the cost of Ground Performance, as the Hunter's CoM will cause it to always be on its tail when on the ground. In the air though, knock yourself out.

Mock-dogfighting the XF-90. The Hunter is a bit slower, but it is more agile and thus has the upper hand.

That's pretty much it.

Have fun, and literally happy Hunting!


Now have some bonus pics


No, Tu-4 can never catch a break. This post was made by the B-29 fangroup.

Five Hunters, anyone?

I can't tell who's leading, but they are all HAWKA HUNTA!

As always, you gotta have at least ONE sunset-to-dusk pic on a TUPL post!
