The Greatest Generation Challenge

With all of the new updating to SP, I figured now would be a great time to issue a building challenge (spell check isn't working). Your challenge is to build an actual aircraft (bomber, fighter, etc) from World War II. Included above is a crude and quick model of the Vought F4U Corsair. All entries must be in by the end of the month (February 29) to be considered for the challenge. It must be an actual aircraft used, so no helicopters (unless its that one German helicopter whose name eludes me) . Your entry must also be able to fly and hold a weapons payload. It must also be original, as in don't use my crude build or the stock P-51. I will find out if you did. Best of luck to you. TL;DR- build a WWII aircraft that flies.
