The LBF-1:

The LBF-1 was a a light bomber/interceptor/patrol fighter/of the marine air arm, It was a little slow, but rather light for its class which is why it could also operate as a fighter, it could carry a fairly versatile Ground pounding payload, or a multi-role payload. The LBF-1 was not flawed in any way, but saw little service as dedicated light bombers were becoming less and less useful, it was retired only 11 years after entering service.

Armament:
4x15mm cannons/Heavy machine guns
2x25mm cannons
2x30mm cannons
4x500kg bombs
42xHE Rockets

Controls:

Ag1 for canopy
VTOL for flaps (should also be used as trim)

please enjoy!

    I like your designs:
    Simple and clean.

    Only one thing stirs me wrong tho. Consider adding something to the underside of the canopy (so its not just glass "linking" to the fuselage). Otherwise, very lovely builds!
