    @Flash0of0green Well, I was wrong on the first bit, but I wasn't talking about the wings pointing upward. I was talking about the leading edge - unlike many of the army's Ki fighters, the zero's main wing's leading edge is gently angled, about half as much as the trailing edge, not horizontal, when viewed from above. Though, now that I think about it, the use of fuselage blocks probably made that impossible without precision builder...

    Actually towards the end of World War I zero fighters were in development. Therefore I'm technically right and wrong at the same time. And that's how wings on zero are supposed to look. That is pointed upward...@Xogo

    Just a point - This plane was only used in WWII. It didn't even exist during WWI. Other than that, this is pretty good, though the front wings look a little funny (sorry, I'm just slightly obsesed with zeroes). And congrats on silver.
