THIS COMPETITION IS CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF ENTRANTS

Good day everyone,

After interest in the challenge was gauged, I finally came up with the basic rules and specifications for this challenge. I hope you all have fun with it!

Prompt:

Design an aircraft from any decade. Base your design directly off of a failed prototype, experimental airframe, or even a technological demonstrator airframe, as long as it was never put into production.

EXTENDED DEADLINE: 2/1/23

Rules:

  • Minimum Part Count: 300
  • Maximum Part Count: 2000
  • Must be a successor to this challenge
  • Must be based on another real-world aircraft
  • Must be YOUR original aircraft. Some of y’all are trying to pass other’s builds off as yours.
Advice:
  • VR builds will be looked at varyingly depending on quality, as I have a headset that can help in grading. Keep that in mind and make sure to keep everything within reach if making a whole cockpit.
  • Higher quality builds will be looked on more favorably, so try and have fun and make something impressive! You have 4 months to work on it, but time goes fast.
  • Don’t make a cargo plane turn like a fighter. Inversely, don’t make a fighter turn like a cargo plane. Unless it’s an F-104 spinoff.

Grading:

Quality: X/30
Uniquity: X/20
Flight Characteristics: X/20
Model Presentation (livery): X/10
Site Presentation: X/10
History/Lore: X/10
Total: X/100

    @TheLittleMan The Hornet is not yours. It is a modification of someone else’s. Read the rules.

    @Cessnasareawesome172 I’ll allow you to do another since the first was DQ’d for too low part count. You still have 3 months to work on it, so please make sure to read the challenge through again. Remember: it has to be based on a real prototype design, whether fabricated or not. Essentially a fictional take on a real plane.

    Can I build a plane I designed on a whim that doesn't exist but was based on real aircraft?
    .
    Picture an F-86 and a P-39 having a baby, and then the Romanians stole it and slapped stuff on it

    @KdogUSA You can make an F-92A, but a direct replica is not allowed. Make it unique!
