Thats some great work!

I invision something that will come off looking like the love child of a Gloster Javelin and a TF-102 Delta Dagger trainer. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :wub:

I'm really looking forward to how you make this one work, do you have any ideas for final markings?

Wow! Haven't noticed that you modified the model for side by side seating  :o  
That's fine work.
I agree on the fact that modifying the canopy will be difficult... I like this model, really!!!
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I need some feedback:

Hi engineers:

What do you think of this design as a Low Lever Interdictor?

Does it need small fins under cockpit, a la Rockwell B-1?

Additionaly, I am not completely happy with tail. I envisage some alternatives:
T tail but swept planes, a la tu-154
Standard tail, a la Lockheed Lancer
Butterfly wings tail

I do not kwow, I need your opinions.

Thanks,
Carlos.

I want this to be a cheap alternative to F-111, Su-24 or Tornado; but superior to A-4. During last 70s or 80s.

Opinions, please.

Hey, its the french answer to the F-111!!!!! :wub:  (and i once saw a illustration of a side-by-side seat mirage in the falklands!)

UPS, I had a project for a very similar looking starfighter: single seater, delta wing with wing tip X-4, V-tail and nazi Luft `50 defense of the reich markings...
This one looks cool, I vote for V or "double tail" ( much like an A-10´s).
Which markings will it use?

Wish I could offer something in the way of options/opinions but, here I sit, completely mesmerized by what you've already done that I cannot imagine what more is possible.

Wow!!!   :wub:  :cheers:

I have an attack of patriotism and I think it will be Spanish in three tone camo. Do you know? no F-18, but indigenous development from HA-300. :)

Very kind of you -_-

yes! I'd add B-1 style canards. It'd be a natural complement to the wing and the long nose.

I couldn't write earlier because I was busy giving you a standing ovation!!!! :cheers:

Yeah, Carlos. BONE little canards, or moustaches like a forgotten mirage model should look great.

And a swept T-tail looks like a good idea

Congratulations once again
