(Fantasy)(thank you to @OverlordPrime for making this project possible) In 2006, Japan was wanting to strike out on acquiring a 5th Gen Long-Range Heavy Fighter. This came from observations of the F-22 Raptor. Initially, it was hoped that they could purchase F-22s, but the United States placed a permanent embargo on the Raptor. So, they turned their eye on the loser of the 1991 competition, the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 Black Widow II. After careful re-examination, it was found to be better suited to the needs of the JASDF. After some long negotiations, and a substantial redesign of the fuselage, the YF-23 would come back to life in 2011 as the Mitsubishi F-3A Kuro-Mukuro, the name being Japanese for Black Widow (a nod to the aircraft it spawned from). With two hidden high-rate cannon's, 6 missles carried internally, incredible range, and increased agility over its forebearer, the Kuro-Mukuro is a threat to anything that means it harm. This is the incoming navalized B variant, which has been beefed up to cope with carrier conditions and rough carrier take offs and landings. A total of 103 are planned to be built by 2029, with a scheduled operation status of 2033/34.

Cockpit highlights - There are buttons for Landing Gear, Cockpit Lights (Activate1), and Brake Parachute (Activate3). There is also a switch for the tailhook (Activate2)

Once again, thank you to @OverlordPrime for assisting with the flight characteristics. I hope y'all like this. It ain't my first aircraft on here, but it's the first one I'm proud to share.
