The Shenyang J-8 is a high-speed, high-altitude, single-seat interceptor fighter aircraft, which mainly serves PLA Air Force in 1980s-2000s. I used to build one of this, but it was not very ideal, so I remade it by reset engines, patterns and more.

Instructions:
AG 1 for flap (trim);
AG 2 for dropping the fuel tank;
AG6 for afterburner;
AG7 for parachutes;
AG 8 (de-active) for locking control surfaces.
the character on the right side means "PLA Air Force", or "Chinese Air Force" when directly translates.

For making this more realistic, I didn't set the power of engine very high nor made it performs very well when rolling and pitching (Since this is an intercepter and its known by Chinese for its terrible performance in low-altitude-performance.)
.
By the way, J-8ii is also known as "handsome guy on the sky" for most Chinese military fans due to its beautiful figure for them (I personally don't think so). Many military fans also loved this aircraft very much since it served PLA Air Force for more than 3 decades, and its a witness of the growth of PLAAF.

In 1980s, US had fighters like F-15 and F-16, which were 3rd generation aircrafts, while China only had J-8 II, which is a second-generation aircraft as its most advanced fighter.
In 1990s, during third taiwan strait crisis, Taiwan had fighters like F-16, and their self-made aircraft, F-CK-1, while China still mostly used J-8 (during that time PLAAF did had Su-27 from Russia, but only a few on them.)
Even today, when China has J-20 as 4th generation aircraft and a bunch of Sukhoi's airplanes, J-8 is still in service.

Maybe that's the reason so many people like finback, including me.
