NOTICE: it has a slight roll problem
The XFA-27 is a unique multirole aircraft. It was one of the first original aircraft designs to be featured in an Ace Combat game, specifically Ace Combat 2 in 1997, alongside the ADF-01 FALKEN and XB-10. Since its original appearance, it has mostly been restricted to handheld titles.In March 2015, the XFA-27 was added to Ace Combat Infinity, its first home console appearance in 18 years. Along with the R-101 Delphinus #1, the XFA-27 was a late-game aircraft available at the far end of the Aircraft Tree, requiring an exorbitant amount of credits to unlock and upgrade.

    Never played 2, but I have played Joint Assault and 7 and have to say I love the '27.
    As for the roll problem, there's a quite simple yet excruciating solution that requires manual repositioning via XML of every centerline piece.

    Things I noticed:
    - The body modeling and shape is actually really accurate
    - I noticed you also use the Inferno model as standard missiles as do I
    - Theres no afterburner flame (not necessarily a bad thing)
    - You stayed true to source material and didn't give it countermeasures (even though it does in 7)
    - The inclusion of 6 standard missiles instead of 4 is an interesting choice, probably referencing Infinity (and 7) with the MSTM SP weapon
    - I don't believe there are two guns, just one in the nose, or wingroot depending on the game

    These are not necessarily bad things, just little things I took notice of.
