Making the intake a big carnivorous smile is a nice idea too. -------------------- Medals are OK, but having your body and all your friends in one piece at the end of the day is better. - My Dad

Due to having them backwards, he'd crash and die the first time he tried to turn (the wing flaps are at F'ed up angles). Then again, he'd crash & die trying to get airborn. What I absolutely LOVE is the work you did on the cockpit & pilot. Fan-freaking-tastic!!!!!!! Eric

I agree, but i'll wait till he finishes building it to see if he doens't orkify it...

For some reason I imagines a few big cans of fuel and some very bad plumbing connecting them to the engines. The cans would be on the top of the wings near the fuselage... -------------------- Medals are OK, but having your body and all your friends in one piece at the end of the day is better. - My Dad

Are you leaving the ork pilot unarmoured, or put a cage round it or a canopy or what? --------------------

Oh and may I suggest a pulley and gear link to the elevators? Something slapdash and exposed. I don't have any ork stuff but I may try some just because it looks fun. Straight edge? Who needs that, we use RIVETS! Flight controls? RIVETS! Seatbelts? RIVETS!

Can't wait to see it finished. Outstanding work and great inspiration. I've been doing some planning for one or two myself, but thinking about propeller driven planes...possibly a Russian I-16 as a base. Older Russian planes just lend themselves to being "orky" to me. -------------------- Where there is light, there is always shadow.
