    @Mrwhiskers85 It was quite a bit of part-clipping and mirroring. Getting the engines in the place they needed to be was a pain in the ass, then having the actual body of them look rounded. The rearmost engines are mediums clipped inside some fuselage blocks, then the middle is just fuselage. The front is where it gets FUN. LOTS OF FUN. Since i couldn't use the provided intakes because none of them are round, I used a small engine as the intake. I clipped it into the middle of a fuselage, then added another fuselage piece (lots of these handy little bits around) to the front so it looks like it's flared inwards. The benefit of using a real engine as the intake is that the engine is still functional, adding needed power to the design, whilst looking cool because of the rotating blades in front.

    It first flew in 1953, so I'm fine with it. :D @Quintasoarus

    It checks out... You could quite possibly be in the top three when the challenge closes!
