For competition

This is my first replica (of an actual plane), wow was it hard. It took me a little over six hours during the course of two days. The blue lightning bolt was hard, as well as finding a USAF symbol but I'm just happy how it turned out. Enjoy

    Yeah, my design looks how it does because I didn't want the end bits hanging down too far, so I just stuck em on the end.

    Yeah I used a lot or side views, probably explains it, I've also seen different wing things (the things on the end of the wings) as well so there are probably different variations@TehNewDucky

    maybe it's because I feel the wings here being a bit skinny, but if your plane flies, then keep it how you want!

    I'm here for friendly suggestions. A) guns. obvious. B) Larger/more intakes, black fire is bad. C) Larger/different shaped wings. It's slightly hard to fly, but is a decent design overall. Grade: B+ Keep it up.

    @Supercraft888 it's funny how I did it, I just made he nose cone as short as possible, then attached the engine and made the nose cone long, no mods involved. IDK if you noticed, but I also have two engines under the cockpit. Sort of the same way just with width and not length

    Awesome dude! Keep it up! How did you clip the engine into the nose cone?
