This is what I've been working on the last days. This is my first time im making custom wings. It's not finished (obviously) but here is a preview version. It's also playable in War Thunder. History = The Jaktfalken was constructed and manufactured by Svenska Aero as a private venture. The company contacted the Swedish Aerial board, requesting guidelines and wishes for a fighter aircraft. When no reply was received, Svenska Aero began to look at foreign designs to get some guidance. The Jaktfalken was a conventional biplane equipped with an Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar 14-cylinder radial engine. The landing gear was fixed and there was a skid under the tail. The fuselage framework was made of welded beams covered with fabric. The fore and aft part of the fuselage was covered in aluminium sheet. There was a fuel tank between the engine and the cockpit, which contained enough fuel for 2.5 hours of flying. The Swedish Air Force test pilot Nils Söderberg was given the mission to try out the new prototype at the Barkarby air force base. After one of his landings he said "this is the best aircraft that I have flown so far". On November 11, 1929 the Jaktfalken was presented for representatives from authorities and the press. The Swedish Air administration decided that three Jaktfalken and three British Bristol Bulldog II fighters were to be ordered for comparative tests. The prototype was bought by the Swedish Air Force on January 9, 1930 and given the designation J 5. By February 1930, the Air administration decided to use a Bristol Jupiter engine as the air force standard engine. The designer, Carl Clemens Bücker was forced to modify the two ordered aircraft, by making new engine attachments and make modifications to the fuselage. These aircraft were given the name Svenska Aero Jaktfalken I (or J 6 in the Swedish Air Force). The order was followed by a new one for 5 aircraft with Jupiter VII engines in 1930. During test flights, powerful vibrations were encountered. Both

@StraitAircraft Honestly, you can do whatever you want with it. i made this before i even knew what blueprints were, so the scale is of everything is just off. if i did wanted to finish this i would just rebuild the entire thing. plus the fact the I also dont intend on coming back to simpleplanes (even tough i have 1600 hours in the game). maybe i will return when simpleplanes 2 comes out, but we'll see until then.
Just an idea, but if I ever have the time perhaps I could help you finish it?
@404NameNotFound Thank you!
Don't worry, I will credit you in my work!
@StraitAircraft Yes you can use it, like it says in my bio, i mostly moved onto blender.
i still had an unfinished version laying around that i never uploaded with a better engine. you can use either one. credit would be appreciated but not necessary.

Hello sir, I have planns to make a westland wapiti and it uses the same engine as yours.
Is it possible for me to borrow and configure your bristol Jupiter engine?
