my lastest work using parts from a f-18 and Martin p 1216










Built as the replacement for the Buccaneer aircraft in the attack role by the Kingstone factory this aircraft is now flown by the 4 squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm assigned to HMS Queen Elizabeth and the Prince of Wales, and six squadrons of the Royal Air Force were it replaced the Jaguar, as well  as the buccaneer aircraft.
The RAF aircraft are all identical to the shipborne aircraft and are regularly deployed on-board the carriers also.
It has been successful in gaining several major overseas orders such as the German navel air force the Marineflieger and is used by several other commonwealth airforces notably Australia were it beat the highly rated  F-18 in a fly off .

Powerplant: 2 × Eurojet EJ200 afterburning turbofan
   Dry thrust: 13,000 lbf each
   Thrust with afterburner: 20,000 lbf each
Combat radius:
   Ground attack, lo-lo-lo: 425
   Ground attack, hi-lo-hi: 850 nmi

Amazing! Whiffing a Whiff, whatever next?!  :thumbsup: :bow:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

AWESOME!!!!  Captain Canada's cobra comment got me thinking.  A cobra ready to strike has its hood spread.  It needs some CANARDS!!!!  :wacko:
