Click here to view any information you'd like. I will also post a picture for each aircraft that was requested.

2. Nakajima Ki-49 Donryu (Helen)

[pplace]

4. Ryan FR-1 Fireball

[pplace]

5. Boeing 314 Clipper

[pplace]

6. Curtis-Wright XP-55 Ascender

I had to go for the Ascender, but if you can get the Gannett to fold it's wings like THAT then i'm sold!! :)

[nemo_uk]

I had to vote British .... Short Sunderland (http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw2/sunderland.html)

That's why I attached that picture.....it was very interesting. I'm pretty sure it could be done to work like that. I'd have to check with some of the "Editor Gurus" to be certain though.

yes, I think the poly limit will get out of control on the 111Z, that's why I haven't done anything with the one I was working on. didn't have the canopys done or anything and the polys were getting up there

[daycent]

Nemo, how the heck do you find schematics like that?!!? maybe i'm using the wrong terms for my searches... i did one for the A-26 and came up with a little cheesy 2"x2" and a bunch of chicks that weren't even cute!! :eek:

The clipper is nice but i like the sunderland because i can use the runway and the water feilds.

[brian94066]

sunderland!!

even though i dont have G4

i would like it for G3 :D

[dhk79]

That's why I attached that picture.....it was very interesting. I'm pretty sure it could be done to work like that. I'd have to check with some of the "Editor Gurus" to be certain though.It can be done, and might even be interesting to see the effect of folding them in flight (once). :eek:

But I still voted for the Sunderland.

[josh0987]

Ahh, poor H - 75... :rolleyes:

[Cowboy]

Maybe if pplace doesn't end up making the Gannet I would definately be interested in picking up the project. A lot of the entries in here are very interesting planes. The Gannet is certainly the most interesting I've seen with the wings folding the way they do. Never seen it before

[Blade Scraper]

pplace any chance we could have the runner up aircraft be made after the winner?

[Norton]

I understand that I put up a Non descriptive French plane and voted for the Short Sunderland. If you think about it, Cowboy is making the Goose (water based) which is close to the Clipper and thats why I went for the Short Sunderland. Water and land based! Plus it is British!

It would be a sweet plane, especially for G4.

Think about it guy's.

I guess its to late to change votes though.

We have very few aircraft from the UK.

[pilot07]

[Blade Scraper]

Nope just let pplace that you'd like to change it and it will be subracted from the final count.

[pilot07]

ok pplace i want the Short Sunderland...... instead of the Clipper...... Please :D

[pilot07]

Ha Ha i just made a tie :D

[Blade Scraper]

no you didn't, look at the poll... CLIPPER, 9 votes...Short Sunderland, 7 votes :D

GO CLIPPER
???? Clipper 9 -1= 8 Sunderland 7+1=8= Tie=Goo sunderland!! :D

[Blade Scraper]

Blade,take your post off,your making me look like an idiot! :mad:
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Relax it's a small mistake

[phrank]

How do you children expect to be taken seriously?
I'm sure pplace does not appreciate what you're doing to his poll.

[pplace]

Thanks phrank.

Just to make it clear....a cast vote is a final vote. I don't and won't care if you "change your mind" I'd only go by the request with the highest actual votes anyways.

I'm planning on "announcing" the winner of the poll tomorrow evening.....say around 7 pm Central Time (Unless I happen to be away from my house.....which has been the case the last two evenings)

[pplace]

pplace any chance we could have the runner up aircraft be made after the winner?

Nope....if I do that would it be fair not to make the other 8?

[Blade Scraper]

Nope....if I do that would it be fair not to make the other 8?
Well... ... ok :( . Another reason to get G4 then :( ,i just wanted something that can be used in G3 and g4.

[pplace]

And the winner is............

Kmot: and his request for the Boeing 314 Clipper.

I'll start on this very soon......first things first I need to go back and collect the excellent 3-view plans he attached with the request.

[Blade Scraper]

Hmph.. :(

[WingDude]

Yeah, the Clipper won.

[BladeCP02]

Hmph.. :(

Seriously Blade. Give it a break.

Just joking just joking. No hard feelings right? :)

The constant random pictures. Just ... stop! Remember this thread?

Well, stop posting countless off-topic threads and spamming, and maybe you'll get the respect you want!

I'll try,may need help getting there though.

[Blade Scraper]

The constant random pictures. Just ... stop! Remember this thread?
Not random,as you can see the lager kid is trying to cheer up the bummed out ones as i'm doing.

pplace what type of size are we looking at? Maybe a 150-170 inch? Big is beautiful after all. :D

[pplace]

I personally like the look and size of 100" w.s. models in the sim (larger than most people fly in real life) but I feel the sim doesn't represent the "perspective" of the model sizes accurately.....thus needing to be a bit larger. (My opinion)

So with that being said the full scale clipper had a 152' w.s. (or 1,824") so a 1/18th scale will bring it to the 101.33" size.

[Recty]

Cool, the plane I was voting for won. It's always nice being on the winning team!

I'm looking forward to this plane :)

[pplace]

Well as excellent as I thought the 3-view cad drawings were.......They do not fit together at all!! (top, side and front views.) Ugh I'll just have to get them "close" and fudge the whole time I'm modeling it.

Nobody's fault (not saying anything bad towards kmot......but maybe the person that made the cad drawings!haha)
