Information
The F-28 Tomcat II is a 4.5+ Generation Interceptor Aircraft developed in response to the failure of the F-24 Razorcat. The Tomcat II is also known as the Puma by Pilots who originally flew the F-14E Super Tomcat (F-14/21).

The Tomcat II is a modern design and primarily a Fleet Interceptor, it was designed to carry and launch the AIM-152 Starstreak Advanced Air-To-Air Missile as well as the AIM-180 Diamondback II Advanced Air-To-Air Missile, both of these missiles are the decedents to the AIM-54 Phoenix and designed to allow the Pilots to fire at stand off distance and engage out of the envelope of other Fighters.

    Good to see more future tomcat builds on simple planes. We can never have too much of these. I did notice that when you put down the flaps the aircraft rolls to the left though. I’m assuming it’s because the flap is inverted.
