I'm trying to build a circuit on Tinkercad, which I'm pretty sure is known as an astable multivibrator, but whenever I try to simulate it, either the says capacitors are inversely polarized, the LED's don't blink, which they are supposed to, or the circuit is unable to simulate.
Can someone help me figure out whether this circuit is wrong or if it's an issue with the simulator?
EDIT: I've added an image of the circuit without the capacitors so you can see whats under them.

1) Since Vbe > Vce there is a reverse polarity on the e-Caps. In practice tantalums can handle 10% reverse voltage, not sure about Alum.
There are ways to avoid this adding diodes to Vce.
2) Current gain must be 33%< Ai< 50% of hFE as rated saturation assumes 10% hFE.
Otherwise It wont saturate or demand too big a cap.
Change 47k to 30 k
Darlingtons work the best.
