Merry Christmas!


This is the first plane I’ve posted in a while… It’s pretty basic, and doesn’t quite meet my standards for a totally finished build. However, it feels nice to finally be back and posting on the website!

    @Bellcat Thanks! Yep, in real life that hat would be a bit disruptive.

    That’s nice. I bet the big hat on top of the plane is gonna ruin the aerodynamics of the plane.
