I like the look of the Etenhard and Super Etenhard. They don't look bad shortened a bit.

I would say it does, because how often does one, outside of this forum, see a Lawn Dart sporting RAF markings?  Especially when professionally applied by the paint shop. :wacko:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hm, yes, AMRAAMs on a Spitfire Mk IX. How many do you think it could carry?  :o
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

AMRAAMs  come in at 152 kg/335lbs each, but what weight all of the associated bits and pieces would come to, I don't know.

Sidewinders/IRIS-T would be the better option, since they're self-tracking.

IRIS-T   weighs in at 88kg/ 195lbs   and Sidewinder at about 88.5kg/188lbs................so in theory, 4 could be carried

Just goes to show who really reads the posts!  :D  I didn't - I suck at math, so numbers kinda make my eyes glaze over ...

Well done, Tophe!  Evidently you are more detail-oriented than everyone else who read this!  :)   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
