April 2, 20215 yr The Russian Lagg3 and La5n were wood. Ki106, also the Albemarle Bomber and forward parts of the vampire jet as well. Heaps of gliders, Airspeed Oxford, DH Hornet, He 162, and of course the Nakajima Ki-115 Kamikazi plane. Probably heaps of others as wood and fabric was the standard way to build aircraft during the '30s .

Wood comprised quite a lot of the construction materials of the de Havilland "bat" Jet; the first British jet aircraft to go supersonic after taking off and later landing under its own power.

Take that Adolf!' I love it all - but that paragraph cracked me up!
April 2, 20215 yr I get great frame rates with this. More developers should take note of how to do it! Edited April 2, 20215 yr by bobcat999 Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

April 2, 20215 yr What I like best about this, is the fact that the ASI drawn on the cardboard panel, actually functions; that cracked me up. I've always had a lot of time for Aeroplane Heaven, but with this thing as a nice April Fools and a bit of a cheeky promo for their forthcoming 'proper' Spitfire, they excelled themselves.

April 2, 20215 yr Just make sure you keep it out of the rain. Cardboard goes soggy and loses it's shape when wet !
April 4, 20215 yr Well... It had to happen! The first repaint is out at flightsim.to, and not bad at all! https://flightsim.to/file/11768/aeroplane-heaven-cardspit-livery-for-r6595-dw-d-610-county-of-chester-sqd-biggin-hill-1940 With this alongside the mod for the gauges (marker pen lines), I think the guys at Flying Iron will be having sleepless nights! With development skills like this, I am hoping for a cardboard Concorde now! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

April 4, 20215 yr But, but, but.... one of the wings on the underside isn't black. It's an outrage that such an inaccurate paint job on a Mark 1 could be released! 🤣 Fun historical fact of the day on that: Initially, RAF day fighters were painted on the underside with one wing black and the other wing white - supposedly as a recognition feature - and they even went to the ridiculous extent of specifying that ones with an even serial number would be a mirror image of those with an odd serial number in the upper surface camouflage, and mirrored in regard to which wing would be black on the underside. Rather unsurprisingly, as the Battle of Britain got underway, they realised that not only did it spoil the camouflage effect of the underside to have half the plane painted black, but it was also a stupidly over-complicated and time consuming process to do that mirroring too, so they dropped it and just went with the more familiar pale colour on the entire underside and one scheme on the upper surfaces regardless of the serial number. This is why you sometimes see RAF fighters in the Battle of Britain period with camouflage which didn't match up where the wing joined the fuselage if they'd had a replacement wing hastily fitted to repair battle damage.
