PUSH TO GOLD PART ONE... WOOOOOO

Okay, so in 2035, the Thunder Hawk Initiative began building this model of plane as a carrier-based multirole/interceptor. Capable of mach 2.7 at 40,000 feet, and the size of the F-35, it is quite a good craft. Single-seat and three engines (one afterburning).
The engines are thrust vectoring and have roll and pitch (pretty proud of these, if I do say). This is the smaller version of the Super Hawk, which is the second part of my push to gold. This aircraft also has the official marking pattern for the Thunder Hawks (I might add something like painting the tail red later on if I want to. Still a WIP on the paint scheme).

Weapons:

  • 4 15mm Drogue Autocannons
  • 4 Interceptors
  • 3 750 pound bombs

Controls

AG1 - Afterburner
AG2 - Fold Wings to Rear-Swept (more stable in flight this way and faster, but at the cost of maneuverability)
AG3 - Arresting Hook
AG4 - Drogue Chute
Brakes - Airbrakes and Wheel brakes

I hope y'all enjoy!

Side Notes:

  • Before I give a thank-you to everyone, I just want to say that when taking off, be very gentle on the stick. The thrust vectoring is good for regaining control of the jet, but it is very touchy until you fold the wings. Just fyi
  • Now, for the thank you.
    Thank you all so much for the support. I never thought I would make it this far, and I am super close to Gold now (222 points to be exact). I never thought I would make it past bronze to be honest. I thought I'd give you a hint to what I can build, and I hope to keep improving from here. This is the first of my push to gold. My second will be a MUCH better version of the super hawk. I have been working on it, but I can't get the 3 barrel autocannon to function, but I just figured it out. It should be released by the end of this week.
  • Anyways, sorry to yack your ears off. I truly hope you enjoy this plane!
