For this challenge, your goal is to build an aircraft with variable-sweep (or "swing") wings. You can build a replica, or something completely fictional if you want. No limits on type, role, or era. As long as the wings swing, it counts.

Rules

• Minimum 200 parts. Anything under 200 parts will be immediately disqualified.
• Maximum 1000 parts. Anything over 1000 parts will have one point deducted for every 5 additional parts, but will not be disqualified.
• No mod parts.
• Maximum of three entries per person.
• Must be a successor. If it isn't a successor, ask a moderator to make it one.
