I don't normally upvote non-aircraft...and this is a battleship...but, guess what?! It also flies, so it's also an aircraft! Plus, it's one of the most detailed and original creations of late, so I'm enthusiastically upvoting and spotlighting!
Have a problem: I uploaded my build as a private post to make sure it posted as a successor to your post, but then subsequently modded it over the course of hours and days. When I tested the upload, the system views it as a successor to my post, not yours, I don't think I fix it, there are way too many rotators and parts, don't think it will do it right, any suggestions? Here it is: Lockheed F-37A Super Viper+
@BananaBoat33 try this Boeing B-47E Stratojet. The whole build is way over 50 parts but the inboard engine pods have fewer parts and are very similar to the B-52. Don't care if you credit me.
@demoman9, nah, this is a private site, free speech (or your misunderstanding of such) doesn't apply here. Free speech, at least in America, is protected by the Constitution and states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances." SP is a private online site, not Congress, censorship applies, plenty of posts have been "moderated" or removed, read the rules. Besides, A.G. gave you a way out with forum memorial posts...I would also suggest you could be more creative with your memorial builds. If you're commemorating 7 December 1941, you could instead build a realistic P-40 or USS Arizona instead of a garish, blatantly obvious "memorial" post. I, as a service member myself, would appreciate it that much better.
While I appreciate your honesty, most people like to be tagged and credited, that's probably why you didn't get a lot of responses. Why only 50 parts? Most B-52-like creations are well more than 50 parts...
Restarting the game works for me; the Overload mod and Fine Tuner mods are absolutely essential to making really realistic replicas, so the effort in getting them to work correctly is well worth it...
No, not with the stock wings. They all look like flat boards, with a distinct flat leading edge, trailing edge and end. For building wings that look a little more realistic, build up the stock wings with fuselage pieces, which at .25 are slightly thicker than the stock wings which are .20 thick. Turn the fuselage pieces sideways and use the circle or curved profiles to round the wing leading or trailing edges. That's the most efficient way I know of to make wings appear more realistic, I'm curious to hear if anyone else has additional suggestions.
It's still too good to be representative of the slapped together P-38s I've seen on the site, you should have made it NOT look like a P-38, then your victory will be complete!
@DoctorWho1 ok, 147 parts vs. 143, so 4 total, got it. I see you swapped out the cannons for machine guns, just like most of the Hurris out there...what else did you mod? Just saying, the community would have appreciated it if you had mentioned the original creator's name or even tagged the original's creator in the comments. Keeping it all "above board" is highly appreciated; if that was your intent, I apologize for calling you out, just try to remember to give credit where credit is due...here are how the rules are written:
Tweaking airplanes is okay
• It is okay to download someone else's airplane, make some tweaks, and re-upload a new variation.
• In fact, the original designer may even receive bonus points.
• However, if your variation does not offer any improvements over the existing airplane, then it may be removed.
• If you are circumventing the predecessor/successor system, then you will be banned. Never upload a successor as an original design; give credit to the designer of its predecessor.
Well, at least it looks really good, just like an An-2 should!
Well, if it was a real car, I would want one!
@Tully2001, thanks! Also, don't know if you saw this one, similar idea, also some very pleasing lines...FRH-212B Navy
I tried to Spotlight this one, but I reached my max number of Spotlights for the day!
Nice cross between an F-35 and an F-18, wish I could Spotlight, but am at my Spotlight max for the day!
I really like the shape of this one...
Nice, plus if you move the gear to the engine pods and tweak the fuselage shape, you'd have a pretty decent replica of an He-219 Uhu.
Nice, simple build, captures the Typhoon's essence IMHO!
Very nice representation, would get more attention if it had a description!
Nice, like the simplicity. I invite you to check out my version of same fighter, same concept as yours.
@SimpleFlow I particularly liked this one: Blohm und Voss, but there are quite a few good ones, including your F9F.

Clever
Nice...says you created this on iOS, so how did you manage to turn the fuselage pieces 45 degrees?
Nice details!
@JoddyFubuki788 perhaps we shall meet in combat...though you have the specs to best my Super Viper!
Nice, I like it, more realistic and better thought out than most of the entrants!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @hopotumon thanks!
@Bagas thank you, I am glad you appreciate it.
Very cool, nice build!
Nice! But it needs a description!
@Mumpsy, thanks for the Upvote and Spotlight, glad you approve!
@Tully2001, thanks!
@DestinyAviation, thanks!
@mikoyanster thanks, and you're welcome!
@XxcreedexX thanks! I like how it turned out, my first fictional build in awhile.
@GenrichTitov, worked as you said it would, thanks! @Verterium, in case you were wondering if it would work.
@159753 check this out, used your thrust vectoring engine, they work great, better than you said they would!

Very nice build, don't many (or any) Bettys on this site! This is the type plane on which Adm Yamamoto died...
Very pretty, really like the scalloped paint job!

Nice job, excellent DC-3 build!
Yeaaahhhh...I don't think you're going to get many entrants (or upvotes) for this...
@Delphinus ok, I think I get it, but disagree, the AI is not genius...😡
@Himynameiswalrus huh, clever!
@Delphinus...what does that mean?
How did you bury the engines and intakes on iOS? There's no nudge...?
Ok, this deserves an upvote...so cute and tiny! BTW, how did you measure the turn radius, estimated or measured?
Very nice...can I ask why you used trim and not VTOL down for the flaps? Don't you need the trim to fly...well...trimmed up?

Godspeed John Glenn
