J-7, Nostalgia
Do you remember? The first thing you made in SP? The first block you dragged from item column?
J-7 is an experiment into going back to the past and to understand why new players still use the older less flexible blocks.
It also more or less a recreation of one of my first jets, of which, many weren't shared, I once had made a SR-71 with these blocks way back.
The original aircraft was sadly lost due the passage of time.
All in all, I wasn't expecting much out of this guy, but man, it takes me back.
Nostalgia is a byproduct, basically, I had remembered of this old jet, and decided "why not try to recreate it with the Fuselage parts?", Thing is, didn't know how to start, so I decided to make it out of the original blocks, so get grasp on the shape of the airframe.
They're fairly good at showing you the path you need to follow, they're rugged old things that will be with us forever.
