    Sounds good man. Hmmm, yeah, I had difficulty landing it too... one thing you could try is to put hemispheres on the bottom of the skids and set them to minimum bounce and zero friction. They don’t look great, but if you size them just right, you might be able to get away with it and still have them work... @ThePrototype

    Ok, I really appreciate the feedback. I haven't done a build like this in at least a year. But I will swap the cockpit out for the historic one. But I will probably try and add an engine cowl and the exhaust. But I still need to make it land well XD @Hyattorama

    Looks good man! I like it! One little detail you could add is an exhaust tip for the engine somewhere. The one thing I don’t like so much is the cockpit. It just doesn’t seem to fit with the era of the plane. You could at least maybe use the historic cockpit block? I dunno. Anyway, for future builds, I definitely recommend building custom wings with realistic airfoil shape. I think it really brings a replica style build to the next level. It might help to dissect this to see how it’s built, or this one for older planes. Other than that it’s a cool plane, great job on the struts/wiring/bracing, all of that looks great, and overall it’s a really cool style too :) @ThePrototype

    @Hyattorama This is very close to being done, I think I might do some more minor details but other than that it looks good to me, any concerns or did I overdo or underdo anything?
