Gloster Javelinv2

The Gloster Javelin is a twin-engined T-tailed delta-wing subsonic night and all-weather interceptor aircraft that served with Britain's Royal Air Force from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s. The last aircraft design to bear the Gloster name, it was introduced in 1956 after a lengthy development period and received several upgrades during its lifetime to its engines, radar and weapons, which included the De Havilland Firestreak air-to-air missile.

I made a change to the powerplant to mimic the performance of the actual aircraft, the two smaller engines didn’t cut it un-modded, otherwise its fairly close in appearance and weight. I would love someone better then me to tweak it
