SILK-208 Leijona (Lion) Heavy Jet Fighter
The Suomi Imperiumi Lentokonetehdas SILK-208 is considered the first truly successful jet fighter produced by the company after seven successive prototypes of the Model 20 that proved to be failures.
This heavyweight is intended to engage in fighter sweeps of enemy airspace to destroy anything in the sky. Armed with four passive radar guided air-to-air missiles and six 20 mm cannons she is an adversary not to be taken lightly. Since its introduction in 1952 its identity has largely been concealed and has only recently, after the firebombing attacks on several cities in Se Suomi Imperiumi, been introduced to combat. Das Germanishe Weltreich at first didn't know what to make of the Leijona as most of their jet fighters are extremely short ranged. Many good Germanian pilots were lost as a result of not knowing their enemy's strengths. They have since learned to flee when sweeps of these aircraft are spotted on ground radar.
CG 1 Activates the Air Brakes and can be raised via the VTOL slider to quickly slow down to allow more maneuverable enemies to fly right by and putting them in front of the horror of those cannons; And of course to reduce speed prior to landing and to aid in breaking after the wheels are on the ground. ;)

@MrMecha lol Thanks, for that RP this would have been considered heavy. The primary adversary jet fighter at the time had an operational time limit of MAYBE 10 minutes.
@TheOwlAce I figure I'll just continue with what I've got on the RP and solve it in my own interpretative way. XD By the way, I built a tank that was supposed to be in response to the one you were developing, did you ever finish it?
Heh, I had a heavy jet fighter in the works but the project got to the prototype stage but it sorta staled and the war ending hadnt helped. Was thinking of posting it anyway.
@MrSilverWolf Should have seen the earlier prototypes. They were HORRIBLE. XD
Another great aircraft!
