Lightning... Ish

345 Shiren  8.5 years ago

With my limited Simple Planes skillz, I've tried to recreate something resembling a p38 Lightning. Hey, I think it came out okay. :) It flies, but I can't land the thing to save my life. I need to rethink the gear system or propeller sizes. I'll work on it, but I was just excited to put this one up here since I was just allowed to upload more planes right now. Okay, I JUST now looked at a picture of an actual p38 and I noticed the nose is longer and it has some extra stablization on the tail end. Well, I had the basic idea close. I'm having too much fun making these.
