My first attempt at an SP recreation of a military aircraft, I have a bit of experience with a few different jets but this is the first one I’d say I’m proud of. I’ve tried to capture the original aesthetics but there are some obvious differences, it’s a bit smaller (I now realise) and it’s a lot faster than the real life counterpart. Anyway, VTOL slider stows wings (down - extend), and don’t land with the bombs otherwise you’ll explode - can’t seem to get around that [further flight tests show that you can in fact land but very gently]. Looking forward to contributing to the community in future!

    @TexJohnston Thanks! I didn’t spend ages on it, was just working on it here and there yesterday, and I’ll have to check out your jets.

    Great first replica! Stylistically pretty similar to much of the stuff I've done.
