I haven't built a plane in a while, so here is one. This is the Vought F7U Cutlass. This jet is based on the original Vought F7U. It was introduced in 1951, but was retired 8 years later. It is not very familiar jet, even though 320 examples were built. Fun Fact: the Blue Angels actually used a few of these in some airshows. This is not an exact replica, or to scale.?? But it flies well and looks cool! Hope you guys enjoy!

    @AirplaneExpert624 Good, maybe you can take example from some aircraft on the website, the builders replica all the hatch and stuff.Also I think your gears have rooms of improvement
