    Hmm… I don't really get the request… but at least it's before the deadline, so I'll give it a shot.
    Speaking of which, TUPL is dropping the A40s… What a shame, my work will probably still be a "T-3" — after all, the T-3 is essentially just existing weapons cobbled together.
    But can I really finish everything from theory to practice by July…

    @CrestelAeronautics that's going to take a while. A lot of fine tuning and stuff. So something different for. Maybe a completely original design without using any reference.

    @CrestelAeronautics Anyways I'm gonna get started soon. I'm building a Kikka in honor of a plan me and Monarchii formed sometime before M-War II, I'm also helping someone fix an aircraft of theirs, but after those two are done I can get started.
    What's the deadline for the challenge?
