I have once again given my favorite build from the old days the same treatment as the IceWhale. Modernized wings, fuselage, engines, undercarriage and livery. But better yet, now the good looks match the flight attitude, as one now defunct user said: we really hate it when you build something beautiful and and it flies like a can of baked beans. Well, not anymore! Now you can have a safer and easier flight, with the added bonus of a shaded cabin with panoramic view.
A huge thanks to @Inuyasha8215 for helping me with the extra screenshots.

Nice! please remind me to spotlight in an hour after this comment was made please
@SemedianIndustries ahh ok, it's fine, everything else is good though
@tsampoy Thx m8. Those are windows, for panoramic view. I had to make the Horizontal Stabilizers bigger but at higher speeds the fluttering happens, I tried my best to fix the speed sensibility ;-;
Nice, so the wingflex is great, the spoilers are nice, the reverse thrust system is also great. Everything in here is very well made. AG 4 is a bit wobbly though, but other than that, incredible job
Kinda looks like an observation car of a train with those windows. If they're windows
