@Sarin sure. As for the flame color , you can change it but it won’t disappear completely. You can bury the engine (nudge it forward) towards the center of the fuse so that the plume is not visible or less noticeable than before.
Also the wing should have a greater chord and a bit more taper towards the tip and you should try and use a nose cone to form the tips themselves. Also you need to revamp the intakes, try a different profile and shape on the intake piece.
The Hunter T7 was the training version, so you should include the bar which splits the canopy and study the windshield, and hitch actually consists of two hoops side by side, not the single loop you have depicted. Also the tailpipe extends well aft of the tail, which you can see in you photo. Fix those and it will look a lot more like a T7, good luck.
@Tang0five perhaps, we could self publish online, I think we could write a better story than that Fifty Shades crap. We could definitely write the tactical aspects of the story (especially if you have British Army experience), fake the operational/strategic aspects, it might work...
@GhostHTX no worries, I understand the conflict. USA didn’t make it to the tournament, which kills me, so I’m rooting for Uruguay (which is a David among Goliaths), England (with whose military I worked closely while stationed overseas a few years ago) and Argentina, where I lived a short while...of course if England meets Argentina it’s going to be a brutal match given past history, but should be interesting to watch!
Very majestic, pity it only saw limited service. I especially like the care demonstrated by the well built cockpit section, the Union Jack and the very slightly oval windows. And all this on iOS, well done.
@TheSleepingInsomniac great, thanks for your kind appraisal. That bombsight was kind of a bear to get right, but I’m glad you appreciate it.

Yes, seems to fly great at 100% forward thrust, slightly (2 degrees or so) nose up and no vertical thrust, around 360 mph or so. Doesn’t act the same without the cargo pod, just flips over end over end!
I saw this yesterday, something is broken with image posting on SP. I spoke to one of the Mods and I think they’re aware of the problem, but think it’s due to a change with Imgur. Not sure what is the way forward and when we might expect a fix.
Great build, lots of fun to fly and blow things up! I tried to post a screenshot to push your build as I cannot Spotlight you anymore due to points but to my immense frustration, something either with SP, or Imgur or iOS or all three together is preventing me from seeing images I post...? Anyway, I like your iOS take on the Eagle (my very first featured build was an F-15 I built on iOS, so I’m partial...yeah)!
Interesting, had not seen this one yet. I have around 500 hours in the T-38A and was an IP in the jet. A little nose heavy, does it have trim, can't seem to make it work. Looks pretty good, though.
Good proportions, nice detailing, I especially like the curved roundels (must have taken a bit of work), flies pretty well (auto roll is a bogey to almost all complex builds, would love to solve it for the entire community). A couple of design choices led you into directions I wouldn't necessarily have gone, which I find interesting. I especially like the speed brake function...very accurate...843 parts, wow! Very heavy, though newer devices (such as my iPhone 8) won't have problems handling it, so don't think it should be as much of a deterrent as some builders. Nice, wish I could Spotlight this, but I don't have the points!
Here’s an M-7, which I think you have a few already, but it’s the closest I could find, sorry.
That’s where the engine on most jets is anyways, more towards the center of the fuselage.

Don’t get it, how the heck do you fire the main gun???
@Mrjace22 how are they impossible?
Made my iPhone 8 crash...how did you even manage to build it? It doesn’t even fit in my designer view.
Beautiful engine detailing...how many vanes on those cylinder heads?
+1Absolutely fantastic, we see far too few WWI builds.
Nice build, well thought out, keep building!
@ThomasRoderick thanks!
Very nice!

@CRJ900Pilot thanks!
@Carbonfox1 glad you liked it, both the build and the story.
@BaconRoll thanks!
@Tang0five thank you. TC was an inspiration for that bit of writing.

@GhostHTX glad you liked the story...I’m not sure what I’m more proud of, the story, or the build itself! Cheering for the England side?
Great features and thought in this build, fun to fly, nice!
You should enter this here: Passenger Aircraft Challenge. Going to watch a little football now, cheering for the England side?
+1Very majestic, pity it only saw limited service. I especially like the care demonstrated by the well built cockpit section, the Union Jack and the very slightly oval windows. And all this on iOS, well done.
+1Interesting. To what end, do you plan on installing this on a future build?
@EternalDarkness a couple of hours. Just letting off a bit of creative energy.
@EternalDarkness ...first! Be sure to read the description and thanks!
+1Looks great from some angles but the cockpit is waaay too bulbous. Have you downloaded 3-views from the-blueprints.com?
BTW, which platform are you using to host images, now that Imgur has crapped out for SP?
It would turn the pax to goo as soon as you pulled the 12 G turn....buuuut, I like it. Here’s an upvote at the audacity of your concept!
Amazing, finest Spit on the site...nay, perhaps the finest fighter on the site! I’m amazed I did not see this when you first put it out!
+1Very cool, well thought out, excellent build; fun to fly and destroy things with!

Bonkers!
Well, this is a very fun build.
@EternalDarkness yeah, haven’t had the motivation to try another image hosting site, though I should. Any recommendations?
Yes, seems to fly great at 100% forward thrust, slightly (2 degrees or so) nose up and no vertical thrust, around 360 mph or so. Doesn’t act the same without the cargo pod, just flips over end over end!
Very strangely, it actually “flies” with zero thrust coming out of the vertical lift engines and the lack of any wings...must be a lifting body 🤔
Wow, very cool. Very easy to fly, landed on Beast first attempt and no drama.

I’m on an iPhone8 and trying to do it through that platform. Posting same image link on Discord and it works fine.
Anyone else having this problem?
@RailfanEthan what do you mean? SP will not post images or what? What’s not working: Imgur or SP???
@EternalDarkness do you see a picture?
I have an Imgur account, I know the whole ! [ Name ] ( link here ) format thing, I cannot find a link on Imgur that works! Using an iPhone
Rebuild the actual wing by using a structural wing with control surfaces enabled using XML.
An actual rotary engine, pretty amazing.

+2How in the name of all that is holy did you manage sequenced gear doors that both open and close?!?!?
