2024 Year End Challenge

2024 is almost gone, and the SimplePlanes2 may be coming soon. I would like to call for a last challenge for this year and maybe a last challenge during the era of SimplePlanes1. I love replicas with a nice history background. I would love to see less-known planes including experimental projects and some never developed beyond the drawing board. But you can build whatever you like, military or civilian.

Reading the rules is also part of the challenge, so READ

Rules:

1) Must be a successor (download this and start building on it)
2) Maximum is 399 parts, Minimum is 49.
3) It must be an aircraft from the post-WW2 to the current.
(both all airplanes and all sorts of helicopters)
4) NO meme, egg planes will be considered for the prize, but you can build.
5) Extra points for wise and creatively used parts
6) 3 entries per person (only the best one will count for the prize. But all of them may get upvotes+spotlight if they are great)
7) XML editing is encouraged, but no modding, please

RATING SYSTEM

The overall rating will be judged from the mean of the points below.
* Overall Looks and details, proportion: 0-10 pts

Awards

The top 3 people will get: 9 upvotes & 3 spots

Suppose you won the challenge, but if you do not have enough planes in your collection to upvote, then I can't help, sorry. I do not use multiple accounts to upvote. EVERY DECENT BUILD WILL GET AN UPVOTE, and Good ones will get a SPOT ONCE UPON UPLOAD.

I may follow you if I am interested in your work.
