F/X-38 TIGER HORNET

Malaysia's First Operational Stealth Fighter
(a gift from me to my country's 68th Independence Day🇲🇾)
A Malaysia, United State collaboration on making a new stealth fighter task to combat the threat on the South China Sea

Build from the scraps of retired F/A18s, both Malaysian and the US Legacy and Super Hornets with the collaborative idea of the late YF-23 project and the successful creations of the F/A-18X Hyperhornet MKII birth a new fighter jet that suits the need of ever growing Malaysian air defense and offenses capability. With sole purpose on making a somewhat lesser time consuming on research and build, less resources and new parts with moderate expenditure cost. Capable for air craft carrier landing for faster and quick deployment extending its combat radius currently being tested on the new CVN-81 Doris Miller making it the first Air Force from a foreign country jet to land and operate on American carrier second to French Navy Rafale M. Built with carrier capable landings as a joint initiative program.

The F/X-38 also derived from the idea of the late F-20 Tigershark project as a further evolution of the same aircraft. Hence the designation "38" (20+18) and (F) Fighter / (X) Experimental. The name, Tiger Hornet represents the Malaysian national animal mix with the name of the aircraft it originated from.

Livery

Some lazy Malayan Tiger livery with an on and off feature (use the flip in the cockpit on the right side where the light switch is) that almost blew my brains out trying to figured it out and ended up managing to only made two of these. I really wanted to polished it up and add more livery but my phone just gives up most of the times. Plus its hell trying to place the text part on the aircraft itself so thats that

Decal 1
Tiger Stripes, combining stealth characteristics of the aircraft with the camouflage the true stealth of the nature itself

Decal 2
Stripes of Glory, fin livery of the Malaysian flag with the white stripes represent the torn apart from a tiger claw as form of art

End Note

Back at it again making another @ToeTips build into something of my own, what can I say I really love F/A18 related stuff and one of many reasons for it is because of my own country's Legacy Hornets.

This post also a way for me to honoring one of the F/A-18 that we lost on a crash recently by the time this post was up. Rip🕊️

Originally I intended to post this for my country 🇲🇾 68 independence day on 31 August this month but I just cant seems to hold it back any longer

The build is really laggy for me but I do hope it work for everybody. It seems to work fine on high physics setting for the landing gear otherwise theres no problem I guess. Idk much on trying to figure which part works or not if anything I just go with it lol, sorry if its a mess. And sorry for mobile users, seems like yall suffer the same fate as I am lmao

Disclaimer this build isnt mine 100%, I build it from parts of different awesome build bundle it into one into my own liking so have at it
