Hi all, I don't post much, but I am around regularly to read and thought I'd try making a plane and here is what I have. Extra points if you can tell what it is.

Any opinions would be helpful...

Theirs is a fake. Several people have tried passing off these fake radial engine Corsairs over the years. They always get caught eventually and bad things happen to them. I'm afraid you can't believe everything you read on the web...

It's a Miles M.20 Mk 5

Actually, it's a really nice looking model.... I hope that the the real plane is anywhere near as good looking...

Guess I was confused from all those years watching Black Sheep Squadron. Smiley

Love it. Beautiful lines. I just hope you are building it for FS9 and that it is freeware. If so, I have a spot in my hangar.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Here are a couple more for drool effect and yes it will be freeware. I don't really think I'm at the level of doing payware and even if I were, I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to go about publishing it. Huh
