• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

SOH-CM-2025
In its day it was faster than a Spitfire and with 4 Hispano 20mm cannon in the nose it was the most heaviest armed fighter in the world.
It earned the nickname 'the Crikey'.

Conversion of Kazunori Ito's FS2004 model. I have been unable to contact him ref permissions and his readme is pretty strict on conditions so without wishing to upset anyone I don't know if it'll make release, but I just had to have one!
I suppose long term I could build one from scratch unless there's any others lurking about out there?

Clive,
Yeah, I played around with that one a bit but he strongly worded copyright scared me off too :running:
 
You got a screenie of the cockpit?

Yer tis Joost. Needs a fair bit of work but the basics are there and the gauges will all be standard RAF types. I don't know why he's painted it blue though, afaik all RAF service a/c were green on the insides.

Plan B

I've found this model by J R Lucariny which has no copyright restrictions so I think I'll forget the Ito one and go with this instead.
There's no VC so will have to make that from scratch. It'll take a bit longer but at least my conscience will be clear! :)

LOL - I take it you're not a member of 'the world's biggest social community'?? :icon_lol:
The first one (Ito's) looks a bit more refined (thanks for the cockpit screenie!) but what do I know? Regardless of the choice you make, it 'll be another fine piece of aviation hardware to add to the catalogue!
 
Marvellous project! I hope something comes of it - with a bit more care during the design stage, this aircraft could have been a huge success!
