^ Great moment in the film!  :thumbsup: I really liked the way the used the start credits to tell parts of the story.

Wyrmshadow, I really like your Harrier/Skyhawk bashes!  :bow: May have to build that at some point.

Speaking of films:

Chuk posted this Wolfenstein cinematic intro over on ARC.  :bow: CLICKY!  :bow: Includes missile-armed Tirpitz and Fw 190-esque float plane fighter.
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Interesting stuff indeed... though the missile positions on board are in rather... odd places.  The four ballistic missile tubes, camoflaged as engine stacks, are placed where the machine shop for maintaining the aircraft were.  I noticed they're offset, the second pair, so they appear to have at least placed them around the mast that stands up from that place.  I dare to wonder how the launch would affect the radars on the aft structure though.  I find it interesting that they put a center float on the FW-190 Float plane, borrowing a page from the Rufe and Kyofu perhaps?
