37.1k Typhoon03  5.0 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Typhoon03's de Havilland DH.88 Comet

Build a 1930s era racing plane. The rules are as follows:
1. Top speed must be between 200 and 250mph.
2. The aircraft must be in the style of the era.
3. You may tag me if you can't make the plane a successor.
4. No more than 125 parts and no mods.
5. If fictional it must have a good description.
6. It must be uploaded by the 6th of April 2019. I will announce the winner shortly afterwards in the comments section.
7. No weapons and no technology that would not have been available in the 30s.

It may be real or fictional.

    Not really. We just need to suppress their military aggression.

    @Falkenwut I would say yes, however I am RUBBISH at making paint schemes, so I don't think I will join at the moment. I hope your challenge goes better than mine!

    @Falkenwut I know, your Comet is good and all, but I was rather hoping for more entries.
