The avatar is an XB-35. It is not legally mine. I ripped it out of fsx. There are not working landing gears or control surfaces and it is not mapped. I promised the Lancaster next so after that I can make it I guess.

I believe that is what is called porting. I've heard it is tough to do, but can be done. There is a SU-25 on here that was ported from Call of Duty recently.
Edit: Battlfield 2.
It is sort of a legal gray area and the line between porting and legal action is too thin for me. The Su-25 guy in my opinion pushed the legal line to far and it would have gotten taken down on a larger profile site like simviation.
And it is hard to do right. Most of my ports have no moving parts and don't break apart correctly.

It must be something Russian or Soviet. I was about to guess a Convair R3Y Tradewind or an Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy, but I know it's not.

It is a fictitious aircraft It can be painted in any colors and it would not be wrong. And their will be red, white, and blue star insignia's on it.

This build is officially one-year old, and not one of you sent a card or present.

I am severely unhappy with rf-x. Too many things that worked or where in with RF7.5 are no longer there or "are not implemented yet". Thus the mystery plane is on hold as it is at 45k triangles and is intended for multiplier combat unlimited and custom airports with stuff to shoot at. And the An-225 along with some of my older planes won't work with rf-x because pivoting frames don't work.
I was/am real close to packing up my models and forum posts and changing simulators.
The new side build will/may be my old Hexa-Turbine Delta.

Yeah I feel your pain I decided to continue modeling for 7.5 and will monitor RF-X to see what happens with it, but it's just not good software yet. It has tons of potential but just isn't there yet. Ha.. I'm even thinking about looking around for someone wanting to sell their copy of 3ds Max 2012 so I can continue modeling for 7.5 as long as I want. That may seem strange but I'm retired and want something to do that I enjoy. And I really enjoy modeling for 7.5. I sure wish it had a 40-50k poly limit that would make it perfect to me.

If you do let me know whitch one you go with.
I am probably not leaving any time soon. I am not going to touch rf-x except for trying to get backwards compatibility to lift the poly limit on rf7.5 to 65335.

Wonderful, sorry it took me so long to respond, reminds me of the XB-70 Valkyrie Bomber aircraft.

Yes, it is loosely based on the XB-70.
It is also very stable though and can be flown under tree branches at 220 mph or maneuvered though denser tree areas at 100-150 mph

I have a name for it, the Legoman XB-70N Ultra Valkyrie, nuclear powered bomber, payload 2 nukes or 10 missiles, can be converted variants, Orbital ATK/NASA Pegasus rocket launcher, it's capacity 2 rockets.
Just a suggestion.
