So, this is my racing variant of the P-38 Lightning for the F.U.N. challenge. It is a less detailed version but built with maneuverablitity in-mind. I sorta lost motivation in it and that's why it doesn't look all that fantastic. It's more or less meant for the challenge and not so much to cater to the public. I know details and little things do add to points in the challenge but I really wanted to just get this out of my way. And, I don't expect to win anyways, I'm just entering for the fun of it. P.S. There is an issue with the nose gear on takeoff. At speeds too high, the gear will bend out of the way and force the aircraft to yaw to the side. I tried everything I knew of and nothing I tried worked. Just be sure to lift off as soon as possible.
1=NavLights
G=LandingGear
VTOL=Flaps
Enjoy!

Lol yeah kinda @Airmenduck
this kinda reminds me of a target drone
Thanks dude!@DanDaFreakinMan
Looks really cool and beautiful! Flies great too! Reminds me of the same plane from that 1943 NES game.
Ah, I didn't test fly it. I just saw it had open cockpit and decent modelling job. I guess I should test before I talk...@BogdanX
Thanks!@KnightOfRen
Wow! Looks perfect! You got it right! @Hedero
Thanks dude. And I will!@Alta2809
Yeah, fair point there. Great build though, keep it up mate. @Hedero
Yea I actually saw this when I was building. I did think about it, however, It would have been a daunting task. As I generally don't enjoy making letters or symbols or anything like that. So yea, it would've looked cool but, too much work.@Alta2809
There’s a really nice looking P-38 called YIPPEE, you should so put just that little touch on the side of the aircraft... and the big text on the bottom, you don’t need to waste your time though. Here’s a pic if you want to have a look. @Hedero
Np @Hedero
XD thank you@switdog08
@Hedero *paints American plane communist red and calls it a racing plane
JK its great
Oh I see.@lilgreen06
@Hedero your right, I'm just saying at my current talent level, I can't match your builds, that's all I'm saying.
Thanks dude, I really appreciate it. But don't beat yourself up for it. I've just been playing for longer, eventually, through enough practice, you'll get really good at building too. Practice is everything. I've been playing for almost 4 years now, pretty much nonstop. So take it easy on yourself. And also, don't compare your building skills with mine. Its like me trying to compare my basketball skills with my cousin. I barely know how the game works, and my cousin is insane at it. But I'm not going to compare my skills to him because I am so clearly outmatched. So don't consider your builds bad, or low quality. As long as you are doing the best you can to make a good build, its high quality.@lilgreen06
I can't even match when I try
dang, you do well even if you loose interest in your project, you've got some serious talent.
Thanks man!@Cobrahuey
This is a really coo, p-38! Love your work
Thanks dude@ACEPILOT109
