---History---
The Lockheed L-133 was an exotic Jet fighter first proposed in 1939, making this one of the earliest jet designs developed by the allies. Meant to use two L-1000 Turbojet engines in a low drag configuration, integrated into the fuselage. it was an incredibly advance design for it's time, featuring a reverse canard design, full-moving elevators, and a central air intake in the nose. unfortunately this design would not enter production, as the L-1000 engines suffered from a trouble development. The L-133 would continue to live on as the basis for the P-80 Shooting Star, while less advance, saw limited service towards the end of WWII. (though it never engaged in combat)
Normal Flight Controls
(i recommend using trim for sharp turns and fine adjustments as the rotators are a bit wonky for that.)

@RepublicOfCursedPlanes I also watch found and explained, it's a pretty good channel about aircraft
@5cmPak38aufPzKpfwIISfl901 by the way, about the 2nd place thing, you're tied with @Mastereldo's T-4MS, so both of you will get the same prize

- Originality:
9/10(most people have not even heard of this)- Looks:
12/15(quite accurate, I understand your issue with fuselage wings and they do still look good, because you didn't make any of the wing edges completely straight. All you need to do is change the cockpit colour to a more pale blue. Side note: I'm not grading livery and labels, but it would be really good if you had them on this plane.)- Performance:
13/15(very manoeuvrable, flies stable when I control the pitch using trim. I had a fun time shooting down B-17s with it!- Features:
5/5(again, gun)- Overall:
39/45(again, excellent job, you've secured 2nd place for now! I'm saving this too!)Accepted
I literally just watched the found&explained video on this lol
Challenge note: i would make Fuselage wings but when i try it looks worse, thanks for understanding.
