Used the amazing F16 rear landing gear made by
kumoroha165
Parts of the plane is inspired by a IA-58 Pucara specially the wings.
"Mudskipper" name is because the fuselage roughly resembles a mudskipper fish, for me atlease. Best plane build so far with my crap skill/phone.
Was bored so i made this 50% at school.

Great
One of coolest turboprop CAS i ever see
@ExistentialDAerd ok thanks
@dabestsock Base Model (Early 2000s): Around $15-18mil
This variant (With upgraded avionics and targeting systems): Approximately $20 mil
Parts, maintenance, training is included in the price. A little more pricey than other aircraft with the same roles because of heavier payload capacity and upgrades received by some models.
@ExistentialDAerd do you have lore behind this build and If so what's the price of it
BYOOTIFUL
