Making "Ace" planes is actually really fun, especially when you get to making individual tailcodes and squadron numbers just to flesh it out. It brings some substance to any fictional air force. I'd recommend making a nice roundel to put on your aircraft. Nothing too complex, but distinctive enough to be it's own thing
Regardless, neat paint scheme!
i recently posted a plane of mine that I had worked spent so much effort on, working on it for weeks (It has 5 upvotes as of now), but still my most upvoted post is a 35 part side build I did cause I was bored one day, racking in 28. Definitely an... interesting case and gets some laughs outta me, but deep down I do wish my higher quality builds would got a little more attention. I dont mean to advertise or whatever but my point is that the community for SP brings about some interesting results.

Learning how to use fuselage parts effectively is something that comes with practice. There are many ways in which to use them, most often I use "paneling", as it is referred to, on my newer planes cause many of them have weapons bays and a custom cockpit.
Sure, you can make square planes with very sharp edges and to would be fairly easy, but it is a good idea to combine pannels with solid fuselage to get a better shape. Do not be afraid to play with the different corner types, too. They allow for some nice shapes regardless of what style you're going for. This is helpful when building wings, as I usually construct a leading edge with resized fuselage parts, and add the rest of the wing in a triangle pattern.
I hope this is helpful!
@50CalChicken You type out the word, exactly how you would write it in here. For some reason it stops working after 2 uses of Overload on that part, so youre gonna have to type it in the health after you do all other properties.
@Nexy12 Indeed. I have actually been experimenting with that sort of thing, but I can't really find anything else to use it for... Perhaps I should try retrofitting a bunch of old weapons onto it, like my railgun or ADMM models, and see if it works. I'd like to make a ton more missiles in a massive pod but I try to keep to the Ace Combat's system of 3 "Special" weapons per plane, so I dont end up having a billion missiles and lagging mobile or low-end devices.
(Also, on the topic of Miranda-class starships, It's an unpopular opinion that I like it without the pod)
I'll run some experiments and see if they are different enough to warrant a model -03

very nice styling!
R34 is best GTR fite me
Yeet
@AtlasAviation Agreed. Nosferatu Gang
Adler Gang
ah, yes. the AC7 wing pods...
v a n i s h
MASSIVE BOI
lookin like a MiG-9
technically, yes, but I dont think swastikas part of tank camoflages
Try using flat bottom airfoils on the wings, or make the wings bigger.
High wing, twin engine AND double tail?
Sign me up!
@KnightOfRen thanks for the spotlight! I appreciate it!
@KnightOfRen Personally I think of it as someone genuinely enjoying the plane, cause if they didnt like it they wouldnt hit the button lol

Neat

@Sketchataar Agreed
@Numbers It varies. But I mostly play as B E A N S at the moment
@Numbers
Yeet another Starblast player... But no the Y wing is a Star Wars ship.
Mmmmmmm purble
Neat
@3114567241 no problemo bro! Keep it up!
TEEE
I guess no one enjoyed the plane as much as I did...

this is pretty neat

I know this is a 5 month old post, but glass fuselages set to 10x opacity with the color at 100% metallic causes it to glow in the dark
I am a simple man. I see P-38 and I upvote.
I like this...

@50CalChicken Infinite health is a thing too. just input "Infinity" where the numbers normally go. works for any numerical value.
Ah, yes. the glass shield. works well against guns but thats pretty much it. Missiles send it into a flat spin

@Kimfri thank you! I'm not sure the aesthetic of Wipeout cause I've never played it, but I have heard good reviews
P O D
The reason it says it's a successor of 8121 rather than 8123 is because I use 8121 as a base for many of my planes now.
And I also forgot the purple wingtips. wonderful.
You have unleashed an ancient evil
Are those... forward swept tail surfaces?
How convenient. I painted Project 8125 in red and white also
