Cool looks, but weapons on external hard points defeat the purpose of stealth. Since they can be detected even if the rest of the plane can't. Regardless, nice work and good luck on the challenge.
I have this thing:

Though, to be fair, it is based on Oicraftian's.
I just added some small details.
I think what he means is that the fuselage parts are comparatively weaker than the wings. In my experience this is true. My propeller hits the ground and suddenly I am left with a pile of wings and structural connectors.
I usually start with a concept I want to try, and build my plane around it. Like the double wings of the Ju-87, or the movable wings of the F-14, or forward swept wings. If it's a replica of something I try to start by putting the engines where they should be; the rest follows that.
Well, I made this thing:

Sorry, I don't know how to make one of those text links everyone seems to have.
Pretty good. It flies well enough and is sturdy enough to bounce of the carrier without much damage. At least, it was the one time I was able to hit the carrier while attempting a landing.
@DeezDucks This plane's max airspeed wasn't much faster than it's stall speed. it works fine for me at 30-32% throttle. Conversely, mine's takeoff speed is in the triple digits and can go 250+ miles an hour. If I'm perfectly honest, I like yours more.
Wow, this looks like I was a total pain to build. Pretty close to the real thing. Better than mine at least. Realistic airspeed at 30% throttle. I like it.

Congrats, man.

You can count me in.
Interesting idea. Looks cool too.
Not perfect, but what really is huh? Regardless it's an interesting idea and a nice looking plane. Good job, man.
Also what'd ya fix?
Nice, I like it.
Oh wow, this think looks awesome.
Well, what you can do is take a small fuselage from a build that has them and save it as a sub-assembly. That's what I do.
@Destroyer5713 Is that so? I'll look forward to it.
@Destroyer5713 thanks man, I appreciate it.
@TheStapler yeah, that's where I first saw it too.
Servers are prolly down. Just wait till tomorrow.
I have a few I edited from others and one from me.
Looks good.
Hmm interesting.
Nice and agile. The landing gear placement could be better, but it does its job fine. Like it.
Freakin heck, this thing is fast! Though, at about 3300 mph the wings start jittering and the plane doesn't like it. Nice work.

Well, here's something.

What do you think?
@MrVaultech got it, I'll see what I can do.
What exactly do you want fixed about it?
@Skua wait, what about mine?
@Skua that'd be pretty cool.
How the heck is this thing so dang fast?

@DustyChris12 Go ahead, have fun.
@jared3339 sorry for the late credit, man. You did a nice job on this.
It doesn't explode under high stress anymore? What is this!?
Heh, All kidding aside, it is a very nice plane.
Dang, this thing looks menacing. Nice.
@Hutchpar thank you, though I only added some small details.
@Skua that'd be awesome.
This thing was a blast to fly. Though, I did find myself changing a few things, if I'm to be perfectly honest.
Just. One. More. Month.
I can't download it yet.
Pretty good. It flies well enough and is sturdy enough to bounce of the carrier without much damage. At least, it was the one time I was able to hit the carrier while attempting a landing.
Well, isn't this embarrassing? It's a Chance/Vought, not a Grumman. And I was so sure...
I had to clear that up.

@elsanto9000 I saw it. Before I uploaded this I checked if anyone else made one.
