This is the final evolution of the F-5 series aircraft. Built by Grumman for NASA flight envelope testing, this is extremely responsive due to its forward swept wings and canards. It might look similar to the F-20 I built yesterday, but I Pretty much had to tear the whole thing apart to get it perfect.
The aircraft shown is the Ace Combat version, with space made for weapons. The Stripes took AAAAGES to get right! Due to the landing gear and the prototype nature of this aircraft there is no external fuel tank fitted, but stay out of afterburner and you should have plenty.
Features:
Correct dimensions, weight and fuel load
Spin recovery chute (AG4) for when it all goes wrong in mid air. Use this to get nose down, then detach and go for a landing.
Working lights (AG1)
Airbrakes
Air to Air loadout (2x 20mm cannon, 2x Interceptor, 2x Guardian)
Enjoy. Any comments or suggestions for my next project are welcome.
