I would upvote this twice if I could. Amazing job with the modeling. I disagree with Stampede on the handling. To me, this thing is a bit too nimble, but the modeling work is just so good!
@DeezDucks LOL, yes, it is, but the actual plane's top speed was only 99MPH. I tried to further lower the HP rating of the engines, but found takeoff and landings to be rather more difficult than I would have liked.
Amazing that this plane was the type used by Billy Mitchell to champion the idea of air power as the future of the US Navy rather than the Battleship.
@DeezDucks Thanks very much! I was going for an underpowered 'lumbering' feel to it's flight, I welcome any feedback or suggestions, and hope you enjoy the model.
So much awesome here!
Flew very nicely, right up and until I tried to put it on the deck of that carrier. At that point, (forgive me but...) my goose was cooked XD
Nice job! This one is a lot of fun to fly. I love the work put into the paint scheme.
@HakkeAirTech Thanks!
Fantastic effort
Very nice build, extremely fun to fly.
@Deezducks Check this out if you've never seen it:

Just stunning.
Skeletonized airframes and struts on period pieces are a nightmare. This is a very nice try.
Very enjoyable, very good representation. Air intake diffuser cones would complete the look. Upvoted.
