Intro
The Pelican started off life as a twin engined ground attack aircraft here. Improvements soon followed with some significant redesign to the fuselage to change it from a twin engine design to a single larger engine and also to improve the fuselages overall layout to a more conventional design. This airframe was then further developed with new wings, fin etc to create the first of the fighter variants, the F1.

@REDLIGHTNINGBOLT thanks, if you want more fuel just add another block in the middle somewhere with fuel in it (if you make the block massive then scale it down to 0.1 you can put loads of fuel in.)
I love it just can you add more fuel

This is probably one of the coolest builds you’ve made in a long time! Great work!
