F/A-1G Boxing Buzzard

Auto Credit Based on Allstar's Bo

Recently, I've been trying to get back in the groove and what better way to do that than make a simple dogfighter? So here it is, the FA-1G Boxing Buzzard. Get it? It was originally going to be based on an F-16, but it turned into something different. Naturally, I stuck with the catchy name. Anyways, this aircraft is intended for air superiority and is meant to be operated off of the USS Beast. It needs a wee bit of trim to stay perfectly level, but other than than it flies quite smoothly. This was my first time creating a paint job that requires additional fuselage pieces, but I believe it turned out pretty well. Credit to the makers of the overload and fine tuned mods. They were super helpful. (AG1=Parachutes & AG8=Thrust Vectoring)(Paint job is based on an F-18 legacy paint)

    Thanks, I guess. I tried something new by angling the tip down a bit. In all honesty, the tip was originally supposed to be for a stealthy Flanker. @PantherAero

    Oh baby, this is amazing. I just got hit by nostalgia, this reminds me so much of the original way we used to build (especially that engine) and the new way everyone is building (like the cockpit). It hits all the right places, glad to have you back.
