Many thanks for all the kind support! It is really very appreciated. I know that Im not the most popular builder here at SP, but since I really dont build for the upvotes it really isnt an issue.
I do, however, get a warm gooey feeling inside from knowing that you guys who repeatedly upvote me really dig what I do.
Thanks matey! @Tang0five I read a fair bit of MiG-15 v Sabre stuff after I was done building them and a lot of what is widely accepted (MiG climbed faster, had inferior gunsight, heavier armament, more unstable gun platform, slower top speed, could out turn Sabre etc etc etc.) actually proved to be true of my two models. Mainly luck, I guess, and that the shapes are reasonably accurate. The SP physics engine did the rest.
Oh, and FYI I know that the left side horizontal stabiliser is at an angle - it is to counter a bloody irritating auto roll. A small price to pay, I think.
@Alien Now now old boy; when you were perfecting the art of the seat stick interface on the worlds most exciting interceptor, I was building Airfix models, running around getting drunk and generally up to no good with the lads of 2466 Squadron (atc). Learning the jingo was compulsory. I was too young to be on the books, but my Grandad and Uncle were W/Os so I was allowed to tag along.
Anyway, point being that you have your wings. I have the lingo, a dodgy knee from an evasion exercise that went pear shaped in the woods (a big lass fell on me) and know what polo mints dipped in chippy sauce taste like...
Right. One issue. I cant download the challenge due to it being over 1000 parts. I get a “this will brick your phone” warning. This makes it impossible for me to make mine a successor. Wound you be willing to accept my entry if I upload it and tag you in the comments? @Connster3
@Awsomur No, silly. I used the word bloody instead of the words I would have liked to have used, which would have probably gotten me banned form here and quietly removed form the Internet.
Words like F*, C^^^^, M'F* and so on.
Thanks for the Oxyclean tip, though. I will go out and try it forthwith.
@GINGER01 Thanks! If I remember correctly, this one was the first operational 4 engine "heavy" in the RAF inventory. Not necessarily the best (it was removed from front line bombing duties by 1943) but being first counts for something, am i right?
What can I say? If I built models for the upvotes then I would have quit a long time ago. But the support of those folks who see what I do and appreciate it is most welcome. Thanks! @BACconcordepilot

@Tang0five - many thanks
@ChiChiWerx - I was thinking the self same thing!
If you gents like this, youre gonna love whats next....
Quick tip; to make this AI friendly, replace the missiles with stock guardians. Or alternatively, set the AG for each missile to «all».
Christ! Late the party as always. How I missed this I will never know.
Spiffing Buck, old bean. This is a really very, very nice model.
@Alien, old boy! How the devil are you? Many thanks for the kind comments.
Very nice. I could never for the life of me understand the RAF preoccupation with bomber/transports. Is was a crap idea.
This model is not crap, however. It is very, very good. It checks all the boxes. Props and roundels, old chap, props and roundels.

@freedompilot98 - many thanks.
@Zott Thanks.
@Connster3 Excellent. Thanks!
@SledDriver Cheers.
God speed, good sir.
@Weaverfish
Credit where credit it due - you have some wonderful building techniques. I would appreciate your feedback on this model, if it's ok?
@SSSvaSSa thanks.
Do you generally have difficulties with formulating full sentences? You are being unreasonably rude and confrontational. Stop. @Tazziedevil04
@Tazziedevil04 What is a "cloud scheme"? What is a "front gear"? How old are you? 12?
@Rodrigo110 Well said.
@1918 Very nice.
Closest to actual flight sim quality I have seen on SP. Simply wonderful!
No problem! FYI, I now have pretty much everything you have shared so far. It is all very good.@Zott
Very nice.
@DarthAbhinav
More of a Dapper Nectarine, if you ask me. But forget that - this couldn't be better if there was a little scale model of John Wayne in the 'pit.
Freakin' awesome is the term I would use to describe this,, I think.
@ Tang0five
Have you had a chance to try her out yet? Whats your thoughts?
Spotlighted, upvoted, wink, nod, pat on the back and so on.
Christ. Thats beautiful. Also, while Im here, many thanks for the bomb cannon tutorial. Very good job, that.
@MEERKAT978 cheers!
@Tang0five many thanks, chum. As always I appreciate your support!
@Connster3 Here it is. Hope it meets your criteria as a challenge entrant?
@Tang0five Credit where credit is due, old boy.
Keep this up and you'll be spotlighting me soon.

Im in.
YES! Nicely done matey! @Baldeagle086
Bingo bango, old bean. @Tang0five
@EternalDarkness Yeah, sorry! I was a little imprecise. It was an aerial gunship challenge.
@doge Yep. Correct. You havent seen it, have you? It was a user who just cracked silver. Cant remember the name...
Oh touche, good sir.
Now help me find the sodding challenge. @Awsomur
@Awsomur No, silly. I used the word bloody instead of the words I would have liked to have used, which would have probably gotten me banned form here and quietly removed form the Internet.

Maybe because I double posted? Sorry! Im a clutz. @BACconcordepilot
I like.
VTOL?
Check!
Roundels?
Check!
Upvote imminent...
Very nicely executed. Low part count too. Nice.
@niggelas100 Genau!
Das is en hervorragend flugzeug.
Also that roll rate. Sweet jesus.
