@ColonelRelford Alternatively, you could have joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, waited for the collapse, and then stole everything.
Seemed like it worked for the oligarchs.
Looks good.
A few nitpicks, however:
-Paint goof: Shiny tires.
-Wish there was a way to turn off gyros.
-Curious where the HUD came from.
-You forgot to invert the flaps after mirroring. All they do is roll in one direction. Remember, fully-body mirroring is your enemy. It WILL mess things up.
-Some stability issues, but in complete honesty I have zero clue what you could do about that.
-Concerned by the small size of the engine intakes. Possibly flame-out risk?
-Air brake looks awkward not being flush with the body.
-Leg room is taken up by wheels, very uncomfortable.
-Need telepathy to retract landing gear, open canopy.
-Balance is rather heavily impacted by firing missiles. Perhaps consider flaps set to trim to counteract this? Never seen it done myself, so it'd be a new system as far as I've seen.
Other than that, shows promise. First Silver craft, no?
I'm wondering what the unit cost is. Some poking around with component prices leads me to suspect something in the ballpark of $7 million CAD per unit.
Going off some math I conveniently found, I reckon this thing would cost about $20k CAD per day. A fuel load will probably run us something under a grand.
That gun. Minigun? 7.62? How many rounds?
I've seen varying prices on those cheap Interceptor missiles, but a general trends seems to be about $300k a unit. Issue is, I hear the Eel Protectorate's getting a special deal from Graingy for about half that, so we'd best be stingy with the rockets.
Reminds me, what currency are we using?
Regardless of all that, I think this has a lot of promise still. Could definitely help us keep the skies clear while more numerous and cheaper aircraft can do their work. One benefit is the single crew member, which is only one salary as opposed to the dozens that a squadron of cheap fighters would need.
I am, however, concerned greatly by the potential to provoke a greater response from a certain Soian-owned enterprise. A few only will probably go ignored, though.
@Majakalona If it's taken from Grain Guy's 60kg pile of uranium 235 then I'm happy.

Why is it glowing?
+2@Majakalona Bombs away.
+2Wasn’t this thing stolen?
+2I’m not entirely clear on what exactly that person stole and what they modified.

I'll be in contact.
+2The M2 medium called, it wants its machine guns back.
+2More like going off to war and finding out you've been cheated on.
+2A weapon to surpass Metal Gear
+2You see this sticker with the word “Gold” written on it?
+2That means the chunk of copper I slapped it on is real pure gold!
GOOD LORD that thing is long
+2The landing gear puts a Tu-95 to shame
Bloody Barbie doll, that thing is.
The inside of that jet better be E for Everyone, or I swear to all-!
+2I am uncomfortable
+1Freaky.
+1Using a screenshot of this forum post as an example of a forum post would be extremely funny.
+1I see…
+1@Mosquitowithagun misogyny is the hatred of women iirc
+1It's quite long
+1This is a bad thing?
+1Wow.
+1@Graingy Dude I JUST logged in.
+1I feel like a resource for this would be handy.
+1It's a tad dark. Hard to see.
+1@Mosquitowithagun Oh, right.
+1So misogyny is acceptable with mosquitos?
@crazyplaness This is not reassuring.
+1Oh great, it has family.
+1@Mosquitowithagun So, blood.
+1That is a boat with tracks.
+1@Mosquitowithagun Do you?
+1@Saturn0 Then weep.
+1Looks... useful.
+1This is obscene.
+1@overlord5453 What taxes?
+1The MWBS doesn't pay taxes... I think.
Also, I really hope you didn't take this picture from your house because people have geolocated off much, much, much, much, much less.
+1I'm interested.
+1Reminds me of the super low-cost series Graingy briefly produced decades ago.
They were... not good.
@TheMouse you put @32 in a cigar?
+1@CaptainNoble The secret is to hold your breath.
+1@Guywhobuildsstuff I’m gonna kill them.
+1@Randomplayer Awful.
+1That propeller will be tough to eat.
+1@TheMouse Well I didn't.
+1@TheMouse I mean, they did reference another comment of yours.
+1I had somewhat forgotten too.
Wow.
+1@TheMouse I thought you were a kinetic weapon.
+1@TheMouse The first thing I'd do in this situation is look for my own comments.
+1@Randomplayer Bud.
+1Buddy.
@TheMouse There is none.
+1Do I need this?
+1Why is it 8 meters tall?
I need a survey of how many people say "Halloweenish" and how many say "Halloweeny".
+1@ComradeSandman @TheMouse You two still here?
