This airplane was made to demonstate the difference in appearance between fuselage and blocks. Both planes are very similar, but one using fuslage to achieve the design and the other using blocks. To all the newbie players using blocks, see the big difference? Fuselage is very easy to use, but looks tonnes better. Always try to use fuselage from now on.

    Tag me in all!
    I'll upvote and spotlight if possible. As for me I'm working on a 4th gen Black Falcon and currently The F/A-18 HyperHornet, the cockpit on the HyperHornet is something you will be proud of. Can't say simple planes is gonna get a lot of stuff from me though, but a lot of effort will go into the two. I would like to collaborate sometime if your interested.

    @ToeTips the good side is that simpleplanes will be getting a lot of new aircraft from me. 😅

    @ToeTips I understand it takes time. Im so busy with aircraft as well - I have a highly detailed and Funky Trees coded collaboration aircraft modern fighter with UssrLENIN to release now (Working on the thumbnail screenshot). I also just made and posted a Diamond D jet in just one day, yesterday. Now I am making a ATR-42, a second collaboration fictional aircraft, plans for many more jets, AND juggling day to day life! My hands can't keep up with my brain's never ending ideas!

    Well when I start developing that I'll notify you when it comes out. But for now I got two planes that need releasing.

    Yeah! But I went a step further. By using 4 fuselages and cutting them into four corners and then assembling them into the modern fighter plane shape, you have more options when it comes to the shape. Also it's a bit easier to add a cockpit with this technique combination.

    @ToeTips I found out a neat trick for interesting fuselages, you might like it. Set the corners to manual. One pair opposite sides is hard. Other pair is circular. Make sure height and width is equal. Rotate 45 degrees. then you get modern fighter plane fuselage!

    Oh well I don't think I've mastered it yet. In a way it feels limited but full of potential. Also yes, even if you've mastered it, fuselages are a pain to work with at times

    @ToeTips true. The basics are easy. But it takes years of experience, accumilated knowledge, research and analysis of other builds to master it. I like to think I have mastered it, but still, mastering it doesn't make it any less fiddly and difficult.

    Actually it's easy to use but difficult to master
