@CoolPeach Bloody right. Im in the same boat as you. I build exclusively on iOS. This is totally doable in iOS.
The only thing that would set alarm bells ringing is scaled parts, as you cannot scale parts in iOS, but you can make tiny parts, nudge and rotate.
However, you can download pretty much anything in terms of xml modded bits and reuse them.
@ChiChiWerx Many thanks for the reference - I will take a look. I loved "Don't Cry for Me, Sergeant Major" - so this should be right up my alley, as it were...
Thanks for the spot and upvote too - always most welcome!
I think this is very nice. It is refreshing to see folks building things with low part counts. It pushes you to do more with what you have, to be more resource efficient. I would be very interested to see the poly count of the various parts and from there extrapolate the overall poly count of some of the 1000+ part models here.
This is awe inspiring.
It is also a good example of the uneven playing field on which iOS users must compete in challenges.
That said, this is a work of art.
Nothing major, old chap. The original builder was unaware that if you placed the guns within the hit box of the engine, the afore mention guns’ bullets would not collde with the engine. Saving one from some rather embarassing forced landings, sans propellor. @Tang0five
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I think you really need to be selective on what you detail and what you leave out, when you build on mobile. @tylerdeveneuxmusic
@ChiChiWerx Thanks! Im really finding my building style, and I have to say that it suits the earlier Soviet types. I also appreciate the feedback from a guy with actual real world flight experience!
@EternalDarkness Just a thought - would it be possible to clip in a regular wing gun into the barrel of this - maybe synchronising the fire rate with that of the cannon? That way it would be effective against ground and air targets?
Chuffing prawns! This is lovely. Well done, old boy.

You can build plenty nice things on iOS. Youre not making any friends with this crap, son. @Gygy393
Are you thnking what I’m thinking? If your answer is props and roundels then you’d be right...@Tang0five
This model is a great example of Sino (I assume) innovation and your description is very quaint. I shall upvote you and spotlight you forthwith.
Looks like a barge, handles like a rapier.
But... you need to make the cockpit in the nose the primary. As it is you fly her from the tail.
Agreed, 5 boom50s a piece will do that for you... Cheers! @Tang0five
Looks a little like some errant Gripper locked a Scimitar and a Hunter up overnight in a hangar... nice.

Dust off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
@kgv23 many thanks!
Aaaand FEATURE... nah its gone already...

Very similar, no doubt. Not the same, though. @AtomicCashew
Thanks! @Mostly
Thanks! I like to think of it as a modern day torpedo bomber sort of thing. @Tang0five
@RAF1 Cheers for the spotlight!
Now, now. Youre too kind. @MEERKAT978
@Mostly Read the blurb, old chap.

Jings! That was fast. Thanks.

It was all trial and error on my part. This was pre v1.7, without nudging and rotating and so on. @Tang0five

@destroyerP thanks. Not far off full marks. I’ll take it!
@DarthAbhinav yeah, but what took me a year has taken you 3 months. Good going!
@DarthAbhinav many thanks!
@destroyerP No rush. Thanks for making a very challenging challenge. I had great fun building this.
Ok, the transition to iPhone 8 was very easy and pain free. The extra oomph from the 2Gb of ram plus the new chipset makes SP really fly!
Thanks! @TMach5
I now have an iPhone 8. The next few days shall be spent moving resources across, so no uploads from me for a wee bit...
Abso-frigging-lutely-bloody-marvel-sodding-lous. I like.

@Franticmatty Hey, if you still accept this as an entry I would be most greatful. Thanks for the upvote, too.
High praise indeed. Many thanks, old bean. Pip pip, tally ho, so on and so forth. @Alien
Bingo bango, me old mucker. Much appreciated.@Tang0five

@tylerdeveneuxmusic many thanks. Twice!!
@Franticmatty Yeah, Im just going to admit defeat on this one. Good luck with the challenge!
@Liquidfox Cheers!
@Franticmatty
Well that didnt work...
Tip top, oldboy. Are you partaking in the V-Bomber challenge too, perchance?@Tang0five
Decadent western imperialist bomber? Coming right up, komrade. @Tang0five
Oh, and many thanks!
@ChiChiWerx Thanks! Im really finding my building style, and I have to say that it suits the earlier Soviet types. I also appreciate the feedback from a guy with actual real world flight experience!
@Blue0Bull Spasiba!
@TakicraftCorporation Cheers!
@Liquidfox Many thanks.
Spasiba komrade. @Franticmatty
Challenge Accepted. Stronk bomber inbound.
Yeah, I thought of that after I posted. You would need to activate both inputs at the same time. Bit of a bugger, that. @EternalDarkness
@EternalDarkness Just a thought - would it be possible to clip in a regular wing gun into the barrel of this - maybe synchronising the fire rate with that of the cannon? That way it would be effective against ground and air targets?
Right oh! If you need a wingman for that sortie, just let me know! @Alien
Many thanks.
