Thanks for the explanation.
Sorry English is not my mother language, it is not easy for me to guess the tone of voices (especially on written words) :unsure: ;)

Some people that use English as their mother language do not guess the tone of voices from text either.

Tophe it can be hard for foreign ppls to get alot of things written or even said when it comes form a Aussie or a Kiwi or a Brit..we have a rather dry slighty warped sence of hurmour and sarcasm is a big part of it .
It is known as smart arsery ..the skill of being a smart arse and doing it well can take yrs to master  ;D
But dont feel left out mate cause theres also alot of Kiwis..Aussies and Brits who dont get it either  :lol:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.

Primer.

Cockpit is filled with playdoh hence the odd shape.

Needs a spine aft of the canopy for smoother airflow to prevent buffetting.  Hawker had real issues with the early Hunter T-Birds until aft of the canopy was enlarged.  And it could do with a radar nose too.

Damn Lee, too late.  I wish you'd said something earlier...

  ;)

It might get a spine (after all there is no deadline for this one) but not a radar nose.

I've been banging on about it well before you even primed it!

Not that it will make a difference now but i'm with Lee on the radar nose... something matching the rest of the lines would, what i would call, "complete" the design... and the spine also makes sense.  ;)

Read my lips.  There will be no radar nose on this aircraft.  It would look like a pimple.

But there will be a spine.  Work is underway.

According to me: the nose is good like that, no need of radar. <_<

The cockpit spine is probably a good idea which will improve the look.

I still like the "flat" nose, it looks right for this aircraft.


PS: Anyway, apart from Fred, who's to say there isn't a forward-facing terrain-mapping radar in front of the cockpit between the intakes?

The spine is a great addition! :thumbsup:

Hope Fred will forgive me for this manip...


PS: this is not a radar nose!
