Rick's 748 was a much better overall package than the Hunter, and derserved to win. After all, I voted for it myself :lol:

I guess one thing that needs to be borne in mind is that Kirk's Sabre will probably be forgotten when Jan starts releasing his series; whereas Dave's Hunters and Rick's (and the guys) 748 is unlikely to be surpassed.

Hi Guys

:lol: :lol: :lol:

on the 748 beta thread there are lots of posts saying well done.

I just asked them WTF they are saying well done for :doh:

Thank to everyone that rigged the voting :wink:

Remember the 748 was like the last few model and was TEAM effort
& not just me alone.

I don't know if this is my second or third FS.com Gold?.

Chippy & 748 but think i got another one (maybe not gold but first loser)
silver or something :smile:

I would say it only beat Kirk's F86 becuse of the release date cutoff & not
downloads as British stuff stands no chance against anything American
subjects due to the little Moated Island we live on :wink:

Regards
Rick :wink:

Well it obviously does around here Rick old son. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very well deserved lads.We're all glad we had the chance to fully express our feelings for the little creature :heaven: .

It also means I can still call Leif "Leify" :shock: :shock: :axe:(Leify chasing Miggy)

And Dave,that two-pew Hunter is a real corker :drool:

I am not so certian that about that, I think its more that the F-86 is an attractive looking fighter that achived great fame in Korea. If Rick and his team had done a Convair 440 of the same quality as there 748 and Kirk had done a Spitfire of the same quality as his F-86, the results would probably be the same.
