going to make better space of it, not sure wether that will be through use of hanging the planes, or getting more shelves cut, or brought if they do spares at ikea

it actually doesnt look so bad in real life

rather then fill the space with fewer planes with bits added on id rather a solution that allows me to put more planes in there as they are

A bit of info for people regarding the real life GAU 8/A gun on this plane

It fires 30mm rounds at 4,200 per minute. Thats 70 rounds PER SECOND.

To give you an idea here is the size of just one of those rounds

Thats a 20mm alongside a 50 cal round. The actual ones are 10mm BIGGER then shown in that pic

Against other rounds

The plane was built around this gun, here is the entire gun with magazine next to a Beetle for size reference.

x 1 Billion.

Oh and Steve, BLOODY HELL! Your detail work on that cockpit is insane. I think i'd have a fit/stroke/haemhorage/nervous breakdown, if I tried to achieve that standard on any of my stuff!

Hats off to you mate. Lovely work.

I converted from euro actually.

quote:

€24 million contract for 244,000 rounds

Jeez. How much does a normal bullet cost...

€24,000,000 / 244,000 = €98.36

Or, €6885.2 for an apparent minimum 70 per trigger press...

Some guys were discussing the same thing on another site.

fuck that, all armour piercing depleted uranium rounds

This is why it's best to stay in uncle sams good books

DU rounds are nasty at the best of times, 70 DU rounds a second is a whole new world of hurt.

Tbh there's some real skill going into these models and they keep on getting better and better. Looking forward to seeing the typhoon all painted up when you get round to it.
