This is actually pretty good!

You can take them off my builds if you want. I’ve got a Soviet one, US navy one, and many different RAF ones
@Chingonito some of them are easier to make than others but just look for a post online that has a USAAF insignia or Soviet star or something like that.
@Mustang51 how do I add them from my iPhone? I would love to be able to but so far I can only see how to do it by building them from scratch and it’s really hard with rounded surfaces
Excellent build! This is massively better than your last plane so you improved a lot very quickly. You should try adding some details to your planes too like insignias, registration numbers, or outlining panels and movable surfaces. Nevertheless this plane is fantastic!
