Chang-An SJ2 – Evaluation
Realism (90/100): Unique concept for a 1950s jet flying boat, with believable specs and plausible jet performance. The wing design is unusual but consistent with its seaplane purpose. Lacks retractable gear, which limits operational realism.
Weapons (29/30): Proper and balanced armament of three NR-23 cannons, accurate for the era and concept.
Appearance (28/30): Nicely detailed with a distinctive configuration; good textures and shapes. The cockpit is functional and reasonably detailed, though not exceptional.
Build Quality (28/30): Solid structure and fluid functionality. Minor aerodynamic or control refinements could improve realism.
Fair Play (30/30): Fully compliant with challenge limits and no violations detected.
Description (29/30): Clear and interesting lore with solid technical detailing and historical flavor.
Total: 234/250 points.
An imaginative, well-made jet seaplane with realistic design principles and good execution—remarkably original, though a landing gear option would enhance versatility and realism.
