The Latest Rendition
Sat Nov 22, 2014 9:19 am
So, looking at designs like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, I decided to radically alter the design of my new fighter. I made a new topic since the other turned into building scales.
What I did was divide the bomb bay into two separate internal bays on either side of the fuselage, with, of course, half the armament in each, without altering the armament itself. I also made each of the six under-wing hard points totally modular (IE. I didn't put anything on them), and modified the wingtip hard points to modular as well. I had to sacrifice a couple of things - mostly structural integrity if it were an actual model: connections b/t the wings and body are one stud strong, and some smaller parts also had to be connected in a different way that are comparatively weaker. This was mainly because I wanted to keep the internal bomb bays, but if I were to do away with them then the structure would be much stronger.
Here's a couple images to go with the explanation:
I still need an alphanumeric designation, and name for the fighter, as well as designations for each of the warheads pictured beside the fighter itself...any ideas are welcome!

Once again, very cool! I really like the engine designs, though the tail seems too plain for my tastes.
AS for names... erm.... gonna have to get back to you on that....

I was thinking about messing with the tail wings, but I couldn't come up with any ideas that I'd want to even try out.

Very nice!
Maybe ASSF-1? Awesome Space Superiority Fighter 1? Okay, it'd work as "advanced" or just without the A too.
I love this design, but the dorsal tail fin is a tad uninteresting.
Overall though, GREAT job!
