F-35A Lighting II (black camo)

[winged merlin]

Grey camo coming soon
4 mech bearings, my first clockwork plane in 6 months

I had to use levers because drive by wire's cable would make it vibrate

top view

Side view

No internal weapons bay, it was not a priority

[split mango]

😭

you tried and that's what matters 😭

[winged merlin]

it's good enough

[split mango]

😭

[wintry sonnet]

you should put the bearing on the vertical bits inside or mor leveled with the fueseloge

[split mango]

You should fix the wings too

[winged merlin]

the flap bearing? If I level it with the fuselage then there is not enough room

[split mango]

The intakes do not in fact extend to the end of the canopy

[winged merlin]

Don't they?

[wintry sonnet]

you’d have to break some blocks and clip the vertical stabilizer through the plane

[split mango]

That is the very start of the canopy 😭

You just send an image directly proving my point 😭

[winged merlin]

ig

[split mango]

Fym ig 😭

not everything is subjective man 😭

[wintry sonnet]

it’s chill

[split mango]

It's also so unbelievably fixable that it would be stupid not to mention this

[wintry sonnet]

It’s close enough

I commend the effort

[split mango]

I mean the effort is there i respect the effort

But that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to improve it 😭

[wintry sonnet]

@winged merlin if you want you should look at caffeine or life’s builds, I’m not saying copy them but you can learn a lot from them

[split mango]

Yeah this is absolutely true

[winged merlin]

Idk, I looked at their videos, overlayed it in medibang, it lined up in the overlay

[wintry sonnet]

it’s not the fact of lining it up to the pictures 1:1. you will still be off by a lot due to Minecraft and real world ratios being silly, youd have to take that time and improvise

Imo tho, take it with a grain of salt

[winged merlin]

It doesn't look bad but yes, it is not the most realistic

The intakes are too far ahead, wing connection the wings are not as sharp as they should be but whatever

[wintry sonnet]

what works for you works

it is ur build, no one else's

[winged merlin]

thanks

[winged merlin]

this was also a great learning experience for me, my first time trying mech bearings used like this and angled intakes

I might redo this one day

[winged jetty]

Holy chopped

[winged merlin]

?

I get it, the wing's have to be at a sharper angle and my intakes further back

[winged jetty]

Use mech bearins for wings

Also why black

[winged merlin]

I did

[winged merlin]

black camo

[winged jetty]

Js a pet peeve but black looks weird

Even on jets with crazy good shaping

[winged merlin]

I can see why, I just wanted black

I'll do a normal version later if I want to put more effort into this jet or just move on and remake it later

[winged jetty]

You shld use 1.5:1 scale

It looks more accurate in minecraft

[winged merlin]

alright

is left a bit better than right

then I would also have to move intake back a little

[winged merlin]

@split mango is the wing shape better?

New is on the left

[winged merlin]

Fixed it

The intakes are still too far forward, as I don't see the reason to move them back aside from realism

[winged jetty]

Move the intakes further back and the gap between the elevators and the wings shld be decreased

Texturing is good

[winged merlin]

There might be a way to move the intakes further back but it would require a huge redesign

[winged jetty]

Hmmm then it shld be fine

Js decrease the gap between the elevators and the wing

[winged merlin]

Like this?

I also really want to remove those levers but I can't find a way

[winged jetty]

Yes

[winged jetty]

Why do you need levers?

[winged merlin]

Alright, thanks for all the feedback you really helped me improve this plane

[winged merlin]

vertical stabalizer tilt

[winged jetty]

Why do you need it to tilt

[winged merlin]

aren't they tilted?

[winged jetty]

Yes but mc physics doesnt need to know

[winged merlin]

this is without the tilt

[winged jetty]

Ok ok

Mech bearings

You place two

Can tilt both

Then use copycat flaps

From clockwork aditions

[winged merlin]

they are copycat flaps

[winged merlin]

same position?

[winged jetty]

Yes

Use layers for that

Then in the middle

Use copycat flaps

Like an F-16 single

But nobody needs to know

[winged merlin]

Ohh I see

what degree should I tilt the stabalizer
