The added detail really rounds things off! They've gone for a Vulcan on this one, right? 

[sotoolslinger]

Nope this airframe is just too small for a gatling type. I am putting a much bigger radar in the nose than the original F-5 had. The Drakens wing guns are replaced with 27 mm cannon with 125 rounds per gun and the nose has 1 20 mm with 370 rds Wait a few and I will show the loadout

Cue 1970s Batman music and sing along!
"Bat-Plane! Bat-Plaaane! Da da da da dah-dah da da!"



Sorry, the black paintjob and wavy trailing edge just reminded me of a Batplane!

I get this one in my head every time I open this thread, just with Sotools kitbash in the titles instead of the sub!

STS, you're really coming along quite nicely.

Interesting looking weapons suite - It really does stand out.  I sat there trying to figure them out before you explained, and the other part of me was going "ok, so he combined this and this to get that, and that's made of this and this"

It's real good looking so far, keep it up!

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks Rafa and Saur I notice very few folks actually whiff the weapons .There are just too many cool shapes not to bash em You know us Texicans  We won't just buy off the shelf if we can build it ourselves.
