Oh hush. You’ll have me blushing. You are most welcome, though! @Tang0five Im doing a navalised one too. Not sure what to call it, though. Twinseafire sounds so contrived...
Thanks! @TMach5 BTW; the damage report on firing the guns is harmless.
The nose gun has recoil (by @Minecraftpoweer ). There is actually two guns; one firing outward at the target and another with high bullet mass but zero damage, which with the use of a spring creates recoil and a nice gunsmoke type effect. It shoots back into itself, yes, but doesnt actually do any damage.
Youve outdone yourself! In a good way! This is quite wonderful - I love the landing gear especially, and I see what you mean about trim. All in all lovely stuff, as Shakin Stevens was want to say.
PS. The trim is most definitely not inverted. It is the right way around.
@asteroidbook345 Yeah, itbhas an eggy sort of shape to it, huh?
@Tang0five thanks! I was thinking of a V-Bomber sortof name, but couldnt come up with one. Its a sort of snakey type thing, isnt it?
Ive tried two of your models (the red one with three engines and the green one) just for fun, and neither have ailerons or any other method of roll control. They are stable enough, but without a method of controling roll they are, well, difficult to fly.
Im working on it! I promise! Ive been on 10-12 hour days for the last couple of weeks, y’see... That plus two kids below school age is a bit of a tine suck. @Spitfirelad05

You are all most kind!
This is a little rough and ready (work is becoming less of a full time job and more of an all consuming life eating kind of thing)... But I will try to get the description finished today at least...
I know the difference. I recently did a Mk Ia, MkVb, MkIXb,and a couple of Griffon Spits too. Its the depth of the rear fuselage; It might be the angle of the screen shots, but it looks to me like the upper fuselage including the canopy is oversized and the lower, including the engine cowling and the tail fin/rudder is too small. Please dont get me wrong - this is a very good start! @HistoricBirds
Ok, I just read the argument you had with SD.
You got suplexed, intellectually speaking. Hard. Just whipped right up and over. I think you might have popped right out of your shoes.
I say, old boy; would you be terribly put out if one were to - ahem - borrow one of the rocket packs from this kite, for use in another? All credit shall be given, I trust you understand? @RamboJutter
You are most kind. Im a lot less prolific these days too. I guess two nippers, and full time employment do that to you. Im currently working on another biplane for the ww1 challenge, a sports car (because why not?) and an entry to Adlersteiners Luftwaffe Challenge. But the big man upstairs only knows when any of it will get finished. Tag me on your Scimitar, I’d love to see her! @Tang0five
Im just not «hip» enough. That and I dont like making epic teaser posts, which seem to be the thing to do if you want epic numbers of upvotes.
I used to be cool, honest... I @Tang0five
I used to travel a lot with work, but luckily I very seldom experienced this.
One time, though, I had to get on a flight with a complete sod of a sinus infection. I could actually hear the peeeeeeeeeep of the pressure equalisation inside and outside my head.
Thanks! I see youve upvoted a lot of my stuff. I really appreciate it! @MAHADI
@Tully2001 Many thanks!
Bingo! Nail. Head. Hit. @Tang0five
How did you hide this from me? Bloody lovely, old boy!
Scot? As in Scottish? Im pretty sure that in the event of a war type thing breaking out the RAF should have us covered? @Tang0five @RedRoosterII
@Tang0five Look at you, Johnny on the spot! Cheers very much! Not too sure about the name this time, what do you think?
Oh hush. You’ll have me blushing. You are most welcome, though! @Tang0five Im doing a navalised one too. Not sure what to call it, though. Twinseafire sounds so contrived...
Indeed. @Destroyer5713
Yeah, the roll rate is crazy. I agree, the muzzle doesnt recoil as it should either...@Minecraftpoweer
Thanks! You see that your guns are still being put to good use :-) @Minecraftpoweer
Thanks! @TMach5 BTW; the damage report on firing the guns is harmless.

Thanks matey! @Treadmill103
Thanks! She really is, isnt she? I based her in my Spitfire Mk XIV. @BACconcordepilot
Cheers! @Trainzo
Fire away, old chap. Tag me when you release it? @GeneralOliverVonBismarck
Cool. Tag me when youre done? @DPSAircraftManufacturer

Hey, dont let me stop you. You do you! Tag me when its done?@DPSAircraftManufacturer
Pretty much. It wasnt planned that way, but it turned out ok-ish. @DPSAircraftManufacturer
+1Cheers! If I did this again I would focus on making her fly better. That and a wee bit mire detail. Glad you like her, though! @Texasfam04

Nice a*se...
+1@AdlerSteiner Em... oops? This was meant to be an entry to your luftwaffe challenge. For some reason it isnt a successor... Will you accept it still?
Rocket interceptor with prone pilot. Instructions soon, but the wee man has a fever and lots of snot, so no time for me, Im affraid! @Tang0five

Please dont get me wrong - this is a very good start! @HistoricBirds
This is cool, but I have one or two small suggestions?
1- the canopy looks too big and the prop spinner too small. Maybe make the spinner bigger (i.e. Thicker).
2- the guns were not evenly spaced on the wings. There was one inboard, two paired just outboardof the landing gear and one further out.
3- your fin and rudder look a wee bit off in shape. In fact, the rear fuselage looks too deep in general.
Otherwise very nice and;
COOL BEANS.
Yeah, Im not too popular, for one reason or another. I really appreciate the support, though! @JettStorm
If memory served me correctly, the square trigger was only on the cannon armed Spitfires.
Ok, I just read the argument you had with SD.
+1You got suplexed, intellectually speaking. Hard. Just whipped right up and over. I think you might have popped right out of your shoes.
@EternalDarkness I think this thread needs to not be here.
+1The pilot dummy is somewhat under scaled. Also, thanks for the upvotes! Did I win something? @JettStorm
I am in.
+1Oh that will do nicely. Many thanks. @RamboJutter
Perfect. This will be put to very good use. Spiffing, old boy, absolutely spiffing.
I say, old boy; would you be terribly put out if one were to - ahem - borrow one of the rocket packs from this kite, for use in another? All credit shall be given, I trust you understand? @RamboJutter
The tail wheel is castoring and rotates freely. I think the real Spit maybe had a locking mechanism but I couldnt be sure... @Spitfirelad05

That sucked.
A hurricane is indeed possible. Probable, even. @Spitfirelad05
