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
Its ok. You made good points. I knew about the canopy hood - early mk1 Spits had the smaller hood too. I didnt know about the exhausts, though. Every days a school day! @WarHawk95
Right. Someones going to have to explain this to me. This must be a young guys thing that us old guys dont get.
Someone takes my Spit, chops out the cockpit, removes most of the details, repaints it and gets more downloads and upvotes than the original.
Thank god for autocredit.
I also find it frustrating to fine tune the angle on rotators etc. Is like the slider jumps a little each time I take my finger off. Although this might be a flaw indicative of the Apple touch screen, rather than something Jundroo can actually fix. I think the ability to physically type in the angle, speed, etc would fix a lot of issues. @jamesPLANESii
Roundels. Warpaint. Right-oh old bean. I was considering making this one an Aussie or Kiwi; you know, some colonial type...
As for keeping her flying and not crashing in a large fire ball, well, the secret is to have an articulating rotor head and just enough gyro stabilisation so that it dampens my ham fisted piloting, but doesnt completely immobilise her. That and swearing. Lots of swearing. @Tang0five
Whats the «in» group? Seriously, Ive been around here for 18 months or so and I cant say that Ive ever seen it, heard it or experienced it. I have, however met a bunch of sterling chaps whom I have come to hold in high esteem. The «in» crowd can go swing for all I care. Whoever they are... I really do think that you are setting too great a value on rank. @Spacedoge12345plane
Nah, I think I’ll let her be. If you want to make the prop alteration before you test her then great! But if not, no big deal. Her take off performance is marginal, due to her being over her safe take off weight, you see, but her flight performance is ok-ish, once you drop tanks and start using ordinance. I have two more entries in the works, too! Great challenge. @Dimkal
Seriously, though, my plan was to balance this against my FM-2 Wildcat. It is supposed to roll like that because it needs to roll faster than my Wildcat. The main issue I have with her is that she is almost twice as heavy as an actual Zero. @BogdanX
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
@MEERKAT978 I just noticed that this version still has a brace of AGMs mounted to each outer stores point. Please disregard and hit AG7 prior to initiating the take off roll. You will leave the offending guided munitions on the runway.
Cool. I actually have an armed version too, re engined to have more oomph, and a back story involving the Army Air Corps and the need for a COIN/FAC kite. With 5000hp she is a hoot to fly. Uploading that one now. Story will need to wait.@Mustang51
Wonderful. Just bloody lovely all round. Well, the model, anyway. The story (one which I was not familiar with) is one of typical post war British stupidity mixed with an exasperating tendency to give the yanks everything they want on a silver plate - type stories. Makes my blood boil, so it does...
Wow. Many, many thanks! Im really glad you liked it! It took a fair while to build, but I think I nailed the «mid 30’s» look.
You have warmed the heart of a poor sod who, thanks to a virus, is currently puking his way through an otherwise crappy friday.
Oh, and a special mention to your desk building skils; hands down the best desk I have seen in SP. Possibly in my life. @poopatron71

+1I did, didnt I? :-D @JohnnyBoythePilot
+1God save the Queen. salutes
+1Hmmm. Ive never built a whirlybird before. I have also skipped the last couple of challenges you’ve put on. I guess Im in.
+1@VVarperro02 Gracias!
+1@PancakeAddiction thanks for the extremely rapid upvote!
+1@Phoza Cheers!
+1I would dearly love to see how tou do that curved roundel...
+1This build is just a-bloody-stounding! @RamboJutter

+1It flies really nicely and I like the realism. Nothing to dislike here at all. A very nice kite, this. @EternalDarkness
+1@Sgtk Thanks for the spot!
+1Cheers! I’ve just finished a couple of naval variants. One war time and another post war. @Tang0five
+1This is really quite splendid. Lots of detail and accurate too!
+1Thanks matey. In the end I just gave up. This iPhone maxes out at around 700 parts. There are so many details I would have liked to add. @Tang0five
+1Crikey. This is a hot kite. Good job, old boy!
+1Abso - bloody - lutely wonderful!
+1France became independent from whom? @bang091
+1Nope. Im from Scotland. So basically whomever England are playing against. Nothing personal to my Southern friends, but it is what it is. @ChiChiWerx

+1Oh stop. You’ll make me blush. @MrDoolittle
+1Thanks! Much appreciated.@mikoyanster

+1Yes, she could be doing with losing a few pounds... @AnoniMosu
+1This is very, very cool.
+1Very nice. Flies very well and looks stunning. And whats a couple of exploding ailerons between friends?
Tip top, old boy, tip top.
+1Very nice concept. I like this a lot.
+1Chuffin prawns! Lovely kite you have there, old chap!
+1Ok. Im in.
+1This is wonderful. Scottish, too, so it naturally is superior to everything else. Ever.
+1Hey! 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
+1Very nice. Looks more like an A400m Atlas, though.
+1This 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

P.s. You’ll be spotlighting me soon.
+1Bloody hell. Well, you've wiped the floor with my Vengeful. No contest. I love the back story too - very realistic. Vindaloo!
I would give you a medal, but you've probably already got a drawer full of them, what?
Very bloody well done, old chap.

Looks nice, but where do you fit all that ordinance on such a smsll airframe?
