Massive credits to BogdanX and WarHawk95 for extensive feedback and help on this project. I highly appreciate their help and their patience through this long build. Also thanks to Bogdan for letting me use his fuel gauges, speedometers, altitude indicators etc. Check out their creations and give them some support!
Credit to Ollie for the prop head technique.
Brief History
The Grumman J2F Duck is an American single-engine amphibious biplane. It was used by each major branch of the U.S. armed forces from the mid-1930s until just after World War II, primarily for utility and air-sea rescue duties. It was also used by the Argentine Navy, who took delivery of their first example in 1937. Wiki
Features
Realistic top speed at level flight at altitude
Semi-realistic stall speed, too low but ehhh
3d interior cockpit with working gauges, all gauges are placed approximately where the real ones were placed.
Controls
1=Nav Lights
2=Arresting Hook
Enjoy the duck! This aircraft was a major challenge to build and as you may notice, it has a real interior cockpit. The first one I've done in a couple years. And I plan on doing one more aircraft with an interior cockpit for a challenge but I don't think I will be doing any after that. It's simply too much work to do for every airplane. I do however plan on doing more glass cockpits in the future, just without the 3d interior.

Sorry man @Kipo
Ok, sorry. Just thought it would be nice. :( @Hedero
I'm not too good for you or anything I just don't really enjoy collabs. I enjoy building at my own pace and whatever. @Kipo
Just, I’m becoming addicted so I’m not gonna post for a while, could we do a collab or are you too good? @Hedero
Daaang the coincidance! @R2d2hunter
Sorry man I didn't know you commented, I'm doing very well btw. And why are you leaving sp. @Kipo
Sorry I must've missed your message. Thanks I really appreciate it! @LieutenantSOT
@R2d2hunter He worked on the plane in the Philippines.
So I am reading a book and my uncles uncle is in the book and it says he actually worked on and flew a duck in WW2 I got to that chapter that he was mentioned the next day after I saw this post.
How have u been Hedero? Just wanted to say bye before I left SP @Hedero
People who insult mobile builders: wow... your potato can't even build something cool. It all is blocky and dumb
Hedero: Oh, really?
Amazing @KingOog000
Quack
True true, I have to agree with you here. @Tookan
