The Luftwaffe wont know what hit them! :twisted: :twisted:

This is the most awesome looking ironbird ever built. What a shame, that no one is modelling it - would be a nice 46 project, though!!!

A pretty aeroplane, but that didn't fly very well, the major reason for it's abandonment.

P.S. The Cw-21B will be in the game. Its currently in the right hands.

Thank God! I thought the world had gone completely mad.
I'm thrilled to hear there is still a chance of the Curtiss Demon. I've been hoping for that one for more years than I can remember.

Those models are all old model I had been toying around with on my hard drive. I have no plans on finishing them or adding them into IL2. Honestly, im a bit surprised! I baited it heavely for the Luftwhiners, but none showed up? Cry

The last model I posted, was just something I modeled yesterday "for fun". Im down with some type of flue, and felt "creative". I have always wanted to design my own "what if" aircraft. That model was designed and built in about 5 hours total. Im not sure if I will finish it up. It may end up like many of the others. The F5U and B-35 were intended for 1946 but Oleg pulled the plug on any new models.

P.S. The Cw-21B will be in the game. Its currently in the right hands.

Again, sorry for the mean joke. Like I said, I thought I would get a LOT more opposition.

Awesome! I've been wanting the CW-21 for the KNIL campaign forever (buffalo is such a piece). I can deal with fast, nimble and no armor Smile.

As for the baiting of "Luftwhiners" I have been called that in my day (for my support of various LW projects) but I should also note that I would love to see the B-35 or F5U in game. I have also spent many fun hours in the planes you finished in the past. Thanks!

Nope, it didn't. However, McDonnel proposed to replace its starnge engine configuration with two Merlins or Allisons and two 9.5" Westinghouse jets. Another design involved using Their estimates projected a sea level speed in excess of 500mph. It didn't sell because it was thought that with the P-51H, P-82, and P-47N coming about, there wasn't a need for another long range escort. So, one of the most beautiful planes in history died.

Bee, you're definitely not the only one waiting for the Interceptor Big Grin.
