My first plane made with "custom" fuselage shapes. It's not perfect, mainly because it lacks open-able doors, but I think it turned out well. Let me know what could be done better! :3
So I took a little break from sp and started a big project when I came back, but it requires a lot of new building techniques to be made. This threw me off it so I thought that instead of taking another break I could build this thing using some of the techniques. I actually had fun making it! I'll be honest, I don't want to deal with that project, but I'll have to. Are y'all willing to wait a couple of months for it or should I make planes like I used to but with longer delays between them?
I aimed for ≈1:1 build, but again, the lack of open-able doors, wrong cockpit layout, as well as wrong nose shape right behind the front engine cover (that eats up the interior) won't make it a great replica, but I'm too lazy to redo everything, I'll just waste some more time and I'm sure y'all won't be happy about it. I got the weight right, flight model isn't too silly, so I think I got those okay. Fun fact, the wheels visually don't touch the floor because they're scaled down, lol. Another thing that doesnt make it perfect is the tail, it has a hole where the real one doesn't. I'm not even talking about wings XD They're as simple as they can be lol. I wanted to make a simple airfoil, but I realised that I just can't. Both flaps and trim are unaccessible in the cockpit, you'll have to manually set them up, and I feel guilty for that. Oh, and the thumbnail is awful and its not very appealing. Apart from all of that, enjoy and have fun! :3

I would wait, since good things come to those who wait!
But, if you need a break, take it. You took SP by storm with the simple jets and props.
This is very nice.
