final phase release of the Planespotting Challenge!, There we have it, the challenge has ended. Winners will be announced within Two weeks time in a form of an Orange Plane.

This is by far the most problematic project I ever encountered, after the AN225 project, I promised myself to never surpass 800 parts, well... Too much compromises went to this project instead of additions, though I did learn through my own endeavor, discovered numerous ways to cut down parts and that is the key word for this project: CUT DOWN PARTS!.

Engines were stripped down of curves, the cockpit was replaced with a placeholder, larger scaled parts, widely spaced windows- missing windows, omission of slats, and removing steps in the air stairs, all in the goal to cut down parts to keep it somewhat mobile friendly, and honestly, quite proud of it. Oh and it still works under low physics settings just like all of my planes other than the Tu-104B CSA.

Now power wise, when the wings fold up, the engines will be extensively weaker to prevent reaching takeoff speed, just enough oomf to lumber across the taxiway.

Now this was built during a server shut down, and I thought it might be a few days of duration, so this project was really rushed, so I apologise for any glaring oversights and teething problems.

Anyways, I'm burned out. See youse next winter I think.
