Nanchang Q-5 "Fantan"
A chinese close-air support attack jet designed in the late 50's to early 60's, then finally introduced in 1980. The plane never saw much action, and of which was limited to Afghanistan, partially because of it being based on the now dated Mig-19, but also because of its lack of modern tech.
Most of that doesn't apply in-game, so here's my rendition of this chinese fighter. The way i've gone about building this makes it semi-indestructible, lest you manage to hit it in the right places. The air intakes were a little weird to do, but turned out ok, I guess. The small protrusion in the middle of the main wings I couldn't add, otherwise the dihedrals would look really stupid.
The real plane has 6 pylons for carriage of... things. Until we get landing gear that are taller than 1 block, then the 2 pylons under the wings will do.
