ABOUT

The HAL Tejas is an Indian single engine, delta wing, light multirole fighter designed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) in collaboration with Aircraft Research and Design Centre (ARDC) of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. It was developed from the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) programme, which began in the 1980s to replace India's ageing MiG-21 fighters but later became part of a general fleet modernisation programme. In 2003, the LCA was officially named "Tejas" ( meaning 'Radiance' ). It is the smallest and lightest in its class of contemporary supersonic combat aircraft.

Currently there are three production models of the Tejas - the Mark 1, Mark 1A and a trainer version. This specific build is the Tejas Mark 1A

    @Kroixo yes I noticed the front gear issue.. I remade the gear sets about 10 times but couldn't resolve it unfortunately.. I didn't even receive any help from others when asked so yeah..

    Looks really nice. There are a few proplems i noticed though. It is quite hard to take off cuz it dosent go straight. Another thing is that the breakes are really strong. But still a pretty nice plane!
