Auto Credit Based on TAplanes's He-162 sneak peak

Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger (German, "People's Fighter"), the name of a project of the Emergency Fighter Program design competition, was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe in World War II. Designed and built quickly, and made primarily of wood as metals were in very short supply and prioritised for other aircraft, the He 162 was nevertheless the fastest of the first generation of Axis and Allied jets. Volksjäger was the Reich Air Ministry's official name for the government design program competition won by the He 162 design. Other names given to the plane include Salamander, which was the codename of its construction program, and Spatz ("Sparrow"), which was the name given to the plane by Heinkel.

    Oh. Multipart fuselages allow you to add impressive detailing a for example; a cockpit canopy. This opens up a door to more detail and building possibilities! @kukimuki1234

    @kukimuki1234 Im just pointing it out there. By saying your creation is better than this one is not something positive and definitely not something to be proud of. If you have unrelated crap that does not give suggestions and comments to this creation, prohibit yourself from using it then.
