@Strucker but making it colourful gives you a lot more points, like @jamesPLANESii said in his description. There are 15 points for innovation and 15 for aesthetics.
In my own experience, across both my accounts (DarthAbhinav and TheReturningHound), I would go for the one with artistic liberties anyday. I have made only one replica so far, and whilst I found it very satisfying to do (it also blew up in upvotes, atleast for a then-bronze player), I find making your own stuff a lot more relaxing and fun. So, in my opinion, make it the way you bloody want to, but pay some homage to the real Raptor.
@BaconRoll haha, nice one.

@spefyjerbf thank you! I am in love with your builds, they're even better than I remember (pre-1.7)

@Zanedavid hehe, Ty.
@Strucker Hey, the point is that you're building to enjoy man. The win is secondary. If say, EternalDarkness entered, I'd be bloody toast. Besides, you have an entire month!
Imho, the reason you don't get too many upvotes is partly because of your thumbnails. You usually should ensure that your aircraft's diagonal view is seen very clearly and covers the entirety of the thumbnail. That'll prompt people to ooh, clicky clicky and might buy you more upvotes. Ofcourse, if you have a PC, you can always make thumbnails such as I do.
@asteroidbook345 Jeez, don't even remind me of SimpleLandia. We almost had a crossover of SimpleLandia and Hawk Aviation, if you remember, and that was downright crazy.
@jamesPLANESii the canopy looks ugly in every colour except for the matte orange, so ig I'm gonna keep it. Also, I might postpone it until tomorrow, the gears are spontaneously combusting.
@jamesPLANESii Haha, thanks man. The reason I asked about the S and M properties is because the canopy looks so matte, but the blue looks absolute puking noises with the white and orange.
@KrAkenAtomic Oh, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I did a very elaborate RP thing on my previous account (DarthAbhinav, might've heard of it) and by God, it backfired. However, take my upvote as a sign of support.
@ProjectTank not bad, but it's kinda scrawny and the wings are ill-fitting, if I may state my opinion.
@Miston29 no issues. Set your plane as a subassembly and use it under the cockpit of this build.
Nice

+1Bruh.
Not bad, I love the fact that you did some custom control surfaces. Of course, they could be nudged in slightly better, but very epic nonetheless.
+1@MAHADI thanks!
@Sadboye12 :-P
@BaconRoll haha, nice one.

@awfulfalafel build crafts. Upload them. You get some points for every upvote. Reach 100 points and you're bronze. 1000 and you're silver and so on.
Epic.
+1@ArcturusAerospace thank you!
@abhishektyagi055 thanks, bhai.
This is a bloody monument that has stood the test of time.
+2@Strucker thank you, man.
+2Thank you, @Perfectron.
Hey, I entered... and quit...
+1@P0TET0Z Many thanks, mate.
+2Damn that is looking good.

@KrAkenAtomic Thank you!
@Miston29 Whatever name you want will do as long as it's a successor.
Thank you! @Strucker
@Strucker @JustDatGuy @jamesPLANESii The plane has been released.
+1@BuiltBionixInd10 @BaconRoll @pura The plane has been released.

@Strucker Aye! That's the spirit!

@BaconRoll Thank you, mate. I look forward to competing with you in the challenge.

F.
@jamesPLANESii Oh, and good news, inlet is done. I might upload in an hour if the custom LGs and nozzle don't give me any headaches.
@jamesPLANESii Haha, thanks man. The reason I asked about the S and M properties is because the canopy looks so matte, but the blue looks absolute puking noises with the white and orange.
@jamesPLANESii Oh! Right! Ofcourse, I've literally become a noob at using the site. It's been 3 long years XD
And thank you!
@jamesPLANESii
Like WorldWideFlags except for instrumentation? That'd be sick!
+3@silver ty.
Not bad. The rear elevators and the ailerons are a bit off, though. I myself uploaded the MiG-21 Bison a couple days ago, XD. Nice co-incidence.
@jamesPLANESii Very well, thanks.
Hold up, I can edit the default paint setting colours' S and M properties using XML. Is that valid?
@Strucker Understatement of the year, my friend.
+1Very well, I'll work on this first thing tomorrow morn'
+1Can the fuselage and "wings" be edited to the point where it's incredibly different yet still recognisable?
+1@KrAkenAtomic Oh, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I did a very elaborate RP thing on my previous account (DarthAbhinav, might've heard of it) and by God, it backfired. However, take my upvote as a sign of support.
+1I would do it, but... eh, I'd have to download OBS then and I'm a lazy guy.
