@CrazyCatZe sorry for not responding sooner, I’d prefer if you made it a successor (I think you can tag a mod to do that) but you can just tag me, as long as I can easily find it from this post
?
Can I just put the link in the comments, It was so much work to perfect the color pallet.....
@Mateuspilot I posted inspiration
Inspiration:
1920s
1930s
Golden Age
Are mods allowed?
please, any example of inspiration?
Gotcha, thanks @Reuben201103
@HawaiiRanger yeah of course
Its okay if I make the Spirit of St. Louis (Charles Lindbergh plane), right?
@Reuben201103 i've got a good idea
@Bearclaw189 I think that would be okay, as long as it’s first flight was in the interwar period, in this case it was 1937.
Would it have to had entered service in the 1930s? For example, the F4F Wildcat. @Reuben201103
Raceplanes allowed?
Awesome, I'm collaborating with someone and was just wondering is that ok? Like both of us are gonna use a base model and make them our versions of the plane (ill be making a fighter and he'll be making a attack plane)
What's the prizes btw?
I think I might enter, not to sure what I'm going to d...........I think I know what I'm going to do.
How many points do you need to make a challenge?
Hey don't leave out Jimmy Doolittle
