Most kind of you old boy. Ive been made redundant, you see. This results in me being at home and full time carer for our lovely little man who, at 11 months old requires my constant attention. Cuts into my «me time» most frightfully. It is good fun, though, kids and all that.
I will say that regardless of how slow you build, my dear fellow, you build quality. @Alien
This is exactly how I think of these designs too. These kites might have Tesla lift generators this and ion thrusters that, but they are net energy consumers. These crates still need a whacking great generator to power them and I cant think of a more pleasent genny to have than a RR Merlin or maybe a Bristol Hercules. @RamboJutter
It really was a quick build. The hollow fuselage was a sub-assembly I had and the cabin was just a lot of mirroring. The biggest pain the the posterior was the fact that it is heavy and I had to go back and stuff an additional engine in her, ahem, rear... @Alien
No probs, old boy. I liked the version 1.7 (temperate colour scheme) best. That roll rate is just astounding. Im having difficulty figuring out just how you managed to get enough wing in that tiny span to make it fly, though? Magic? Or did you rub the wings with eagle blood or something? @RamboJutter
That would be my abortive attempt to upload my bush flyer. Lost the link to the competition when I uploaded, y’see... Fixed now, though. This is a lovely little bus, by the way. @Tang0five
Thats very kind of you. But Im not really able to build so very often these days, havent even tried to build a whirlybird yet and am really too old/grumpy/set in my ways. Really very kind of you to offer, though. @MrAspy
Hitched? Oh my yes, but that was almost six years ago; with two little ones too. Hence the requirement for gin. Yes. Im old. This change is one part famillial, one part professional. @Tang0five
This makes me happy. Happy as Larry. Larry is reknowned as being bloody happy. Yes, she handles like a wet copy of the Times in a force 10, but with fire power like this, who needs to dodge?@MEERKAT978
Bloody good to hear from you, old chap! Many thanks too, my dear fellow. The lack of bomber command memorial is not a case I was aware of. Bloody shameful, is what it is, though. But politicians will be politicians. On the other note; I never left, old boy. A slight change in my personal life has really eaten into my spare time, but I am still around. Im building an entry for the Bush Flying Challenge at the moment. Now, wheres that Gin? @Tang0five
This is bloody lovely. Seriously. I want to marry it and have babies.
The missile glitch is a pain in the posterior, however. I ended up just scratch building my rails and using skill / swearing to make them match.
I also think they are all based on the Guardian, so a constant lock is required to achieve projectile/ oponent interface.
Many thanks. The challenge kicks arse! The AA-1s are lovely too, but a real pain in the posterior to use. They dont like being mirrored... @mikoyanster

Ah. Ok. Still, 250 parts or so is more than enough, I think. @Colonel1J2R3Wolf
@SSSvaSSa Much appreciated!
Thanks very muchly! @Treadmill103
@LostNight many thanks!
@Carbonfox1 cheers me old mucker!
A wee bit over the 250 part limit, but I hope it is ok?
A wink is as good as a nod me old mucker, aye? @Colonel1J2R3Wolf
Incidentally; what were we talking about?
Rodger rodger old boy! @Colonel1J2R3Wolf
Oh yes! Very cool.
Tally ho! Watch for the hun in the sun, pip pip, so on and so forth.

Looks like my first serious attempt at a Harrier... Very nice!
You and me both, old chap... @Tang0five
Eagle blood. Got it. Im liking the control surfaces too. All round good build. I like this one too, mind. @RamboJutter

Im loving these models you are building lately. The Supermarine 300 especially. This is awesome too!
+2Ok. Im in.
+1Thanks! Long time no see. @ChiChiWerx
Steeped in haggis, tartan, whiskey, sclerosis of the liver and casual football violence... Just like me... @GreenGiraffeAerospace
This is wonderful. Scottish, too, so it naturally is superior to everything else. Ever.
+1That would be my abortive attempt to upload my bush flyer. Lost the link to the competition when I uploaded, y’see... Fixed now, though. This is a lovely little bus, by the way. @Tang0five
Unstable how? And yes, the wing has boyancy, in the event of inadvertent water landing, to allow safe egress. @Chancey21
Hey! Im featured! Happy days and many thanks to all involved.
+1Most kind of you old chap! When hedge hopping in Madagascar, one must really look out for the Lemurs, what? Vicious little blighters... @Alien
+1Thats very kind of you. But Im not really able to build so very often these days, havent even tried to build a whirlybird yet and am really too old/grumpy/set in my ways. Really very kind of you to offer, though. @MrAspy
This is really very good.
Cant believe Ive overlooked this. Ive been meaning to build one of these for a while. This is awesome!
Very nice. Looks more like an A400m Atlas, though.
+1Thanks for the interesting challenge. @jamesPLANESii
Cheers matey! Life is conspiring to eat up all my free time. I will stop in as often as I can... Have some gin ready... @Tang0five
...this uses non challenge compliant missiles. Sorry, but Im calling bs on it beating my MiG @mikoyanster
Massive amounts of fun to bomb around in! Lovely!@Tang0five

+1Pleased to meet ya. @jamesPLANESii
I’m game.
Oh, and it tirns out those AA-2 Atoll missiles are actually DeHavilland Firestreaks... Deviously reverse engineered Soviet Firestreaks, of course...
Cheers! @TMach5
Da! And then a frolic in the snow? Then some okhroshka then we shoot decadent capitalistski bombers, komrade? @Alien
Vokda. Lots. @Alien

Ok now Im curious. What have you got up your sleeve, my dear fellow? @Tang0five
Thanks! @ploptro7
Cheers muchly, my dear fellow. Hope all it well in the land of pasta, Bianchi and the worlds fastest reversing tank? @Alien
Many thanks. The challenge kicks arse! The AA-1s are lovely too, but a real pain in the posterior to use. They dont like being mirrored... @mikoyanster
