F-112 Hellcat II

This is my fist proper creation, it's a fictional United States Fighter-Attacker jet.
I didn't know what it could be and where it would fit in the fighter jet timeline, I'd say it fits between the F-16 and the F-18, I decided to name it the Hellcat II though there's not much reasoning behind that choice other than it wasn't taken by any real jet that I could find.

There are in-game instructions on how to fly it, it has a decently detailed cockpit and reading through them will help a little since there are more activation groups than normal.
I could have added a refueling probe but honestly i'm tired and I want to save it for my next build, kind of a shame since it has a short range.

It's mobile friendly, coming just short of 400 objects.

Beware that there's a slight roll to the right, it's normal since it's a single engine aircraft so compensate for it. There's a loose part somewhere as well, I can't find it so if you do please tell me.
Also if this makes it to SPVR, close your eyes when ejecting otherwise you'll get very dizzy.

A bit of history.
I had this build since the 1.9 High Caliber update, at that time the aircraft was horrible to fly and it would flatspin at the slightest pitch change.
A few months back I decided I wanted to finish it and for the first time share it for everyone, now I am proud of it seeing how it ended up being a great joy to fly.
I might release the previous version in an unlisted post, I'll link it here if I do.
