Re: Medic's Demon
Got the weapons, tanks and wheels together. I'm gonna start working on the fuselage and building up the landing gear.

Re: Medic's Demon
Progress is good!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Good stuff - great to see it progressing!

Re: Medic's Demon
Just caught up on this thread. Impressive save there with the nose well. I noticed on the box art the pilot is launching with the canopy open. Did they really do that?
EDIT: the box art looks like they hijacked the cover of Ginters book on the demon - different markings, otherwise nearly identical. Including launching with the canopy open.

Re: Medic's Demon
Yea they did that. The Demon was so underpowered and had so many takeoff accidents that pilots left the canopy open so ejection was easier

Re: Medic's Demon
Thanks guys! Yeah I knew about them taking off with the canopy open. A lot of the early jets were severely under powered or just aerodynamically horrible. The Cutlass was another one.

Re: Medic's Demon
Wow, I didn't know that about launching with the canopy open. I learned something today.
