Good day 👋


I decided to write this post so that maybe those who already know me might remember me. Yes, to many people I’m probably just a nobody — and honestly, that’s entirely my fault. I rarely post anything on the forum, even though I’m here almost 24/7 😔 I’d like to briefly share what I’m currently working on. Right now, I’m building a fighter aircraft ✈️, and I’ve been working on it for over a month. This is my fourth aircraft.
I used the Saab Gripen JAS-39D as a reference.

What do you think — not bad for a fourth aircraft?
The aircraft doesn’t have an official name yet, so I’d be happy if you could suggest a name for this “nameless fighter” 🙂 I’m currently in the final stage of assembly and working on the external stores layout. I’m thinking about adding pylon multipliers, because I feel that four air-to-air missiles might be a bit too few. What weapons configuration do you think would make the most sense? I also plan to start working on the cockpit interior soon.
That’s all for now.


I’d really appreciate any advice or criticism — I truly value outside opinions.
See you later 👋

    @Livingg017 @TriVector It's a tempting offer, but to be honest, I'm not used to accepting help...

    @Lq11 my cockpit will feature all the real buttons radar display and will be around 250 parts i can add all of the detail and then post giving credit for the craft to you

    im known for my aerodynamics, my tanks cannot be less than the crafts, they usually are super aerodynamic, for example the one in the HF-01 which despite carrying only less than a minute of afterburning flight it is incredibly sleek for the gross amount of fuel

    @Lq11 i mean conformable tanks, not drop tanks, for extended range. if you need some higly aerodynamic tanks with high fuel capacity just tell me and ill make some as soon as i have access to the actual craft

    @Livingg017 The external fuel tanks don't hold much fuel, about 900 kg each, so these tanks can easily be removed and missiles installed in their place... Don't you see the image?

    @Lq11 7 pylons is one of the most versatile configs you can have, you can develop a conformable fuel tank system so you can carry fuel without using any pylon

    @Livingg017 Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the cockpit, I was thinking of adding more detail than just a few displays...
    I have 7 pylons, 3 on each wing and 1 under the fuselage, but this is still not enough for me, so I am thinking of adding a pylon multiplier, by the way, the length of each pylon is 3.5 meters
    I initially started with one cabin, but I didn't like that option...

    i think it may need a couple more pylons, how do you even have just 4? put 2 under each wing and one at each wingtip, now it will easily carry 4 heavy AAMs and two aim-9 ish missiles

    @Lq11 ever thought of a single cockpit version? that would look epic IMO. about the interior: if you want you can use the cockpit and displays from the HF-01/F-04 (actually they are pretty much the same). about the name… basing it on the usrelian aircraft letter coding i think a name that could go well on it would be F-09 Vandal because it comes to change the way of fighting without anyone's permission (in a good sense obviously)

    @TriVector I think there will be about 500 parts in the end.
