@TheFantasticTyphoon Thanks for the advice!
@Bife
The trailing edge should sweep to meet the fuselage and should be much sharper. I've ripped my trousers on the Meteor's trailing edge more than once!
@Tang0five Thank you!
@TheFantasticTyphoon Thanks! I'll take note
Lovely job!!
Very good! Slightly inaccurate trailing edge between the engines and the fuselage but otherwise excellent.
Actually the p-80 also fought briefly in the pacific
Igualito! Lo veo siempre en el hangar de mi escuela!
@nico412 Gracias!
Buenisimo!
