    @Datom on rostocks side are the tanker plane called whale. then there is the heavy fighter someaka that gets some short scenes at the end of the movie, then is there the reconnisance craft called senryu and last but not least is the light fighter sanka m-b that is the plane with the most screen time. on lauterns side are the skyly j-2 as a lifhtweight fighter, the hevy fighter is the rainbow that is around the same size of the me bf110 and then there is the bomber fortune that you unfortunately never can see from above or the side but i think its a combination of the last try of the third reich to get a long range bomber with a ju88 or a bigger version of a focke wulf condor.

    @Datom @kyuSha i rezently get the information that the film only spans half of the story of the light novel. i guess thats the reason for the not so good end but when you like planes that are realy good worked out and a good story with a even better subplot. its the film for you.

    @Datom you can make more than one plane for the challenge (even more than one submission for one plane) bombers are allowed. it has to be a plane from the sky crawlers. and it should follow the rules thats all.

    @Datom it ends february next year. but there arent much planes yet. i have changed the rules since the start a bit but two things will never get in the rules: miniguns and guided missiles. i even had kicked the first entry because the builder had build in a minigun. oh and sorry for my sometimes bad english: i am german and a bit dislexic.
    oh and two facts to rostocks giant flying wing bomber: the fuselage looks like a me 163 commet flipped on its back. the wing is probably based of a northrop construction from the 1940s and the big vertical stabilizer on the underside has svivel so when the plane land the stabilizer folds up. its a bit hard to see but when you see it its one of the details that show that almost every plane from this movie will work. oh and fun fact: the bombing run scene gives us the oportunity to get the mesurement for the bombers: the rostock sanka is based on a j7w shinden and the lautern rainbow fighter has the same size of a me bf 110. with this two planes you can make some estimates.

    @Irobert55 Cool are bombers allowed or is it better to just do a fighter and can we have more than one submission if it’s a different plane?

    @Datom there are four planes with pusher props. one is the seiei wich is only in the game and looks like a do335 pfeil combined with the fuselage of the p51 mustang but i think you dint ment that. in the movie are 2 rostock planes that are driven by backmountet pusher props that arent bombers: sanka m-b from rostock the plane that the hero flys and the slightly bigger someaka wich is fresh from testing and shows up at the end of the movie. i build one someaka.
