Introduction
Here we have my first published build in a while (I actually have two others nearly complete but just cant get the motivation to publish them...)
This build is what happens if you take the Hawker P1214 concept, enlarge it, simplify it (i.e. remove the VTOL bits), add in Sepecat Jaguar style bits and pieces, use an F4k style canopy and then style the airframe in a reduced radar cross section manner. I like it.
Features
Sequenced undercarriage bays / gear
Slats and flaps
Extending oleo (for takeoff / landing)
Intake all the way to the engine
Reheat (build into throttle control)
Realistic weapons (Sidewinders, Phoenix and Harms)
Drop tank
Controls
AG1 = start the engine / extend oleo
AG6 = drop the external tank
VTOL dn = flaps / slats
Notes
With Discord now messing up all my pictures on previous builds im going to rely on just the 3 SP pictures from now on.

Use Imggbb for image hosting. Seems to work perfectly for me. I still have images in the description of my Do-335 from over 3 weeks ago and they’re all still there. Discord abandoned the long-term image hosting for a while I think.
@Gs Fair comment, i do get the odd build / post that gets a couple of odd upvotes seemingly forever but most do die after a few days/weeks.
@RamboJutter 💀
Yeah, I haven't even tried steam...
That said, all of them will. I personally think that the postimg's time is pretty decent for these posts.... cuz like... The posts themselves have a shelf life, no? after a week or two in, it loses it's momentum unless it's on the tops... and even then, a month or two later and it's going to become an old post right?
TL;DR : Yes, image expiries... but the posts' hype themselves expire after a while soooooo
Anyway, always here if you want some screenies!
@Gs Yeah, i started with imggur(i think thats what it was called), then discord, then steam, they all seem to have a shelf life and then all the links break afterwards (apart from Steam which is just a ballache to use)...
@RamboJutter Postimg is always there!
@Gs Thanks =) I do struggle with screenshots, i used to rely on Discord for extras in the text to get a better impression of the build.
@AWESOMENESS360 Thanks for your feedback, im glad you liked the build, it was fun (if hard work) with all those angles etc. In regards to the gun i thought about adding one but then thought it could be added as a pod as per the F4 etc. (i can do a MKII with a gun etc no problem). What in particular didnt you like about the missiles? I tried to make them reasonable for the period (80s-90s), the Harms were designed for anti radar (of which SP doesnt have any) so i just made it so that 2 were needed per destroyer, the AIM 54 Phoenix work against aircraft reasonably well, the sidewinders have a bit of a struggle sometimes staying aquired but im pretty sure they are like that in real life? Any feedback is good for me as i can add it to the next build / update this one.
@AWESOMENESS360 Exactly 100% everything you said there... and also that there's no justice given to the amazing build in those screenies.
This is super clean, love the design. It's a shame the weapons perform a little poorly, and the aircraft lacks a gun. The custom weapons do look fantastic though, i gotta give it that.
