If you went to the year 1900 and gave the top scientists blueprints

It would take them a very long time to figure out how everything is supposed to work, but yes they could build it.

Manufacturing the engine and such would be tricky and take a while, but it would probably be possible given about a year or two considering their limitations

No. The industrial capacity - meaning things like metallurgy - simply was not there. Progress depends on all the steps before it happening.

You mean to mass produce right? Couldn't they create just one plane?

Nonsense, material and manufacturing tech in 1900 wasn't substantially different in 1900 then in 1930.

The hardest part would be forging the aluminum to the required specs but as far as milling, rolling, stamping and other manufacturing techniques, it could be done (albeit, in nowhere near the numbers produced in the 30s).
