[MilitaryAircraft101]

[Haggistom]

Nice choice.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

 

[Solander]

That might be one super-cool design! Can't wait to see what it is going to look like

 

[asJarra]

Oh mate this sounds killer! Can't wait to see it evolve!

 

[MilitaryAircraft101]

Yeah, last night i stole some Aim-9s from my spares box... It will be good! ;D

 

[MilitaryAircraft101]

The fuselage has been fitted with the jet engine...

 

[Haggistom]

Sounds like your moving along at a nice pace.

My "JETFIRE" colloquially known as afterburner has begun.

The rails for the sidewinders, the bomb rack, machine gun and the rocket tubes have been added, and the fuselage and wings mated. Nearly ready for painting!

 

[Quaralane]

Looking forward to seeing more pics on this.

On a side note, I've merged what used to be two topics to clean things up a bit

Interesting concept! Did you know that the spitfires shape is actualy aerodynamically good for speers up to Mach 5? True story keep the pics coming!

Really, well that fixes if the aircraft would fall apart, but my question? could it hold 4 sidewinders 1 GBU-12 and 2 rocket pods?? LOL oh well, lets just imagine..

I say just go to town on it and build what makes you happy!!
