WWII Jets Challenge!
J-E-T, no props
(1st generation jets only)
As with every conflict, both sides are desperate to gain control over each other. Airsuperioty fighter, with more powerful engine, becomes vital. So the Allied (US, UK, France, Russia) and Axis (Germany, Italy, and Japan) rush for the Jets.
Now you will build Jets-propelled aircraft for Allied or Axis powers. It can be a replica (or a fictional as far as it follows the rules)

RULES
- it must be a successor
(if you want to join a boxing match, you must enter the arena, dah! Don't send me a link to look up your plane) - It must be a WWII-era aircraft (Fighter, bomber, attack, recon, everything Jet.) Fictional designs are allowed.
- Maximum entries per person are 3.
- Jet engines are permitted. No props. But if you want to make a mixed-propulsion aircraft, then it's allowed. Rocket-powered planes are allowed too.
- No modern aircraft. Missiles, miniguns, and any other current techs are not allowed. (Unguided rockets for the ground target are Okay.)
- XML editing is allowed. But no mods, please.
- A detailed description will bring up some points, too; I love history.
- Part Limit: 25 to 1200. Please don't exceed the limit!
- It must be original. Do not enter someone else's plane!
- It must be the successor of this post.
TIPS
An excellent replica with nice background history is expected. You will receive bonus points if you can make an asymmetric plane, flying wings, etc. Always make sure they fly nicely.
There are only a few WW2 jets, so If you run out of replicas, you can still build a fictional one as far as it looks and is believable as a WW2 Jets. You can also modify a replica; check out my example of a "Jet powered P-51 Mustang." in which I turn out a P-51 into a jet.
Any part of the plane you put much effort into will give you bonus points.
Don't rush. I've given you a month. Take your time and make something as much well-detailed as possible.
RATING SYSTEM
The overall rating will be judged from the mean of the points below.
- Overall Looks and details - 10 pts.
- Flight Performance - 10 pts.
- Weaponry - 5 pts.
- Functionality - 5 pts. (custom functions or funky trees etc.)
- Cockpit - 5 pts.
- Bonus - 5 pts (if I like something about your plane very much)
AWARDS
- 1st place will receive 10 upvotes + 3 spotlights (if possible)
- 2nd place will receive 8 upvotes + 2 spotlights (if possible)
- 3rd place will receive 6 upvotes + 1 spotlights (if possible)
- Every decent entry will receive an upvote from me. And maybe a Spot Light if it is notable to see.
Deadline: 19 August 2023
Good luck and Good building! Make some well-detailed rare designs that have yet to be available on this site!

it must be a successor
(if you want to join a boxing match, you must enter the arena,
If you want to join a marathon, you must show up on that day on the streets. Dah! The plane which is NOT a successor is considered as outside of the challenge, and I will not do any judging for the challenge)
@RamboJutter oh yes. I will do
@WinsWings I missed this completely, tag me on the next challenge please :)
@WinsWings Nice I can't wait

But maybe just one replica will do
I like to join but pretty busy on war challenges rn
I am moving the Deadline to August 19 - giving one more week! Enjoy
@windshifter1 thanks
My second submission the Nakjima Kikka
My first submission, the Heinkel He280
I am argentinian
Yes you to make a challenge of that war
I forgot to mention, it was wire-guided and was HIGHLY experimental
The X-4 guided missile was (to my knowlege) the only air-to-air guided missile used in World War 2 (look it up, it’s real)
@AGRCONTINENTAL You mean Falkland War, 1981? I love that Pakura, Super Edandards, and Lynx helicopters, Harrier jets... all have good staff. But I am not sure if most kids know that
If you make a war of malvinas
READ the RULES before you build. I am not judging the prop only planes.
