(Closed) Fourth of July Challenge
Happy Independence Day!!!
Introduction
You are to make an American aircraft. It can be anything as long as it is a replica. For example, you can build an A-10, DC-8, 737, ANYTHING that is American built. (It also has to have an American livery if possible). If it is not American built, it will be disqualified (F-15J (Japan), Tu-144 (Russia), JAS 39 (Sweden))
Rules
-Has to be American made
-Has to fly
-Has to be a replica
-Has to be above or equal to 100 parts
-Has to be equal to or below 2000 parts
-Has to have an American livery (if it's possible)
-No mods allowed (However, you may use Overload, Fine Tuner, and Designer Suite)
Q and A
Q:Are experimental aircraft allowed?
A:Yes. As long as it is a real aircraft and not just an artist's perception of what could be in the future.
Q:Can I make an American plane with different country's livery on it? (i.e UAE F-16E/F Block 60)
A:To some extent, yes. Some American (built) planes are limited to only a few liveries that aren't American.
Q:Do aggressor liveries qualify?
A:Yes, as long as it is US based.
Q:Can it be an un-American built but still have an American livery?
A:No, sorry. It has to be a fully American built aircraft.

@EngineerOtaku okay
@asteroidbook345 Y e s
@Fox00One Mockup isn't the same as a working prototype. Mockups generally are there to help visualize the final shape, size, proportions and such of the plane. The prototype will actually be built to fly (in theory lol).
@airlinerbuilder no problem
@Fox00One thanks for the info :)
@airlinerbuilder oh okay. you can make it
@Fox00One i mean like the lockheed l-2000
