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

Congrats Guy's,

Well deserved

Dave - we all know the quality of the Hunter and your skills mate

Amen to that

Congratulations Rick and everyone else involved, it's a wonderfull piece of kit.

Yours is equally brilliant Dave...

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.

Very well deserved, well done!

Hi Guys

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

I just asked them WTF they are saying well done for

Thank to everyone that rigged the voting

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

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

Regards
Rick

Well it obviously does around here Rick old son.

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.
