That's going to look Great. I still need to get with you on the Hurricane if they are still available.

Excellent as a "future" idea, BUT ONLY AFTER YOU BUILD a P-39 Airacobra, Yak-9, and or Ilyushin Il-2!!!

Those are such hugely produced WWII planes, and would offer some great German opposition planes!!!

ME-163 would be cool to have in production again...

After that, produce the obscure Tempest?

How can you say the Tempest is obscure ? This was the fastest piston engined Aircraft of the Second World War and the for runner of the Sea Fury,one of Hawkers ultimate Aircraft. :D

Spoiler alert, have actually started a Yak 9 project, but it will not be out for awhile.

Love the Tempest! Definitely want one, now.

Especially since there is no Typhoon!

Looking good. I would be interested in seeing how you tackle the canopy.

This is the direction I am going to go on the canopy. A vacuum formed one, this is a rough example to just see how it fits.

This plane will be made that the wings attach separate with just two screws, this will cut way down on it's shipping costs as will be a lot smaller box to ship. I learned some lessons from the Hurricane project and want to make this go together easier, and be a better fit on the parts. We are working on redoing the cockpit area to make it better and easier to assemble.

Hurricane was my first attempt at a plane, so am learning from my mistakes and will get better.
