    @Smilohypo well it's a military transporter. Not meant to be rainbow coloured.

    No matter, I'm going to build some kinda acrobatic soon.

    For me, there's nothing really special about this plane, it handles okay, but overall feels rather sluggish there's also a lack of colour and life on this design which makes it feel bland and boring. People want exciting planes me included. ☺ just some friendly advice
