Very nice craft Zak, and welcome to the forums :)

[pTrevTrevs]

Wow, very nice renditions of very nice aircraft! Have some rep, you've earned it!

Lol sorry bout that, didn't really have time to check the forums through or I would've skipped it. Oh well, its nice to have two of them anyways :p Edited November 26, 2015 by Zak423

If you guys haven't already checked it out, I released the F-22 a little while ago

[War Eagle 1]

How fast, manervable and part heavy are your crafts?
If they are below 150 parts, can break 340 and turn with ease I ll check them out

All of my crafts are below 150 parts, I don't want to make them to part heavy for performance reasons . I cant remember the exact speed specifications for all of them, but i'm sure most of them are able to pass mach 1 or higher. I'm trying to update them with better engines so they are able to go faster. And yes all of them turn easily, some better than others .

Looks really good man. Al though the F22 isnt so ... accurate??

In what way?

[Zak423]

Currently working on this one, will hopefully be uploaded later tonight 

[War Eagle 1]

I tried out the f-22 and Su-34
Both look nice
F-22 is way to slow for my taste
Su-34 is unusable as it is unstable in a turn

I updated the F-22 with an extra set of engines for higher speed. As for the Su-34 all i could do was turn off gimbal which made it more stable. My advice would be to not turn as fast in that Aircraft, given it is a larger plane it does not have as high of a turn rate. thanks for the feedback! 

Oh and another thing:

 

f-15 is now available!

[Zak423]

Just a quick one I decided to do:

F-104 starfighter

I present the He-162!

[He_162]

Can I see a three view shot, front, side, top? The engine sizing is a little off, but otherwise I'd say it looks pretty exact, the wings are a little higher in the real thing, and the tail's elevators are at more of an angle upwords, only by a little teeny bit though, perhaps you could merge some fuel tanks together to make the engine seem a little larger, and then put the regular circular intake on the top to try and give it a bigger engine?

Otherwise, great job, I am also working on making a stock one.

[He_162]

The problem with the He-162 in KSP, is that the fuselage's are circular, and the actual ones main fuselage, and cockpit is more of an oval shape, so the circular intake of the He-162 was as big as the cockpit, but the cockpit was a little taller, and a little wider, the circular cockpit, and fuselage of your He-162, and any made in KSP, makes it look odd, and queer, compared to the real He-162. So I say, your replica is quite a good one.

Here is an idea for the rear of the engine: http://imgur.com/L9t57xd

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I saw how big the engine was so I tried my best to make it looks better without using the mk1 fuel tank, still came out a bit small though didn't it?  Oh well, I'll see what I can do.

The MiG-9:

How do go about building these? Is there a certain way you start out or do you just build until it looks right?

I usually start with the cockpit and just go from there... I don't really have a strategy for doing these other than a few reference pictures. I just have to be creative and think of ways to make it look right.

Nice Fargo you made there
