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

Hoo boy, you guys don’t make your names easy to type…
this looks fun
I have found another challenge.
This'll be interesting.
@TheLittleMan The Hornet is not yours. It is a modification of someone else’s. Read the rules.

@kpfpz70m933 Oh my gosh, thank you for showing me this. Definitely DQing it for that then.
@Thelegitpilot13
this aircraft is mine Modified from https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/41JJ54/M6A1-K-SEIRAN-KAI and not his original.
@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.
My submission

By the way, can i have 2 submissions
I already know what to do!
Alright then
Thunderscreech here i come
@asteroidbook345 I won't copy yours
@Thelegitpilot13 OK
"This is gonna be the last one"
Bullshit i said that too many times and never did any of it
Imma join this one. After i upload my other project for other challenge.
@KdogUSA I made one but go ahead lol
@LieutenantSOT Ehhhh… Both aircraft are production aircraft, so I’ll have to say no to that. Sorry
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!
Can I make an Convair XF-92A?
@EpicBullDog That’s a secret something that’ll come in use later
what's the airplane in the second thumbnail
thank you, good luck to you too
@Thelegitpilot13
@JeskoGoesVROOM I understand, I wish you the best of luck with your future projects!
sorry to say this, but unfortunately i won't be able to participate in the challenge, as i have far too many things to do both in real life and in video games, so please exclude me from the competition
