FA-A2R Outlander

This design started out as a bit of an experiment in thrust vectoring rear engines, but quickly became conventional again after I found out I had no way of giving those engines air intake from the main body of the plane. I left the hinge rotators on but expanded the rear centre fuselage section to tether the engines to the main body, so sadly it does not vector :( if you can fix something like this I encourage you to go for it.

I still think it looks and performs well despite its obvious shortcomings. It's actually a fantastic dogfighter.
