The Ferrari of aviation.

I did my best to make it look like the original one, but the lack of pusher propellers and the amount of power I needed to prevent the plane from stalling lowered it's performence, and the fuselage is almost impossible to make here.

Landing is a bit tough, but here's a technique I found to have a good landing:

The VTOL nozzles act as flaps and propellers are used to slow down the plane, and it works perfectly if you're gentle enough.

    @thomasjaf I know that, but having all the thrust at the back of the plane caused it to continuesly pitch down or up and stall, so I had to move the CoT forward, that's why I used four VTOL nozzles in the front of the plane. The other four are the big exhausts/lights on the sides of the real plane's engines.

    That's very fun to fly! but more VTOL nozzle don't mean more power, onlly one will provide the same thrust as 10 together!
