An attack aircraft designed for the Bomber/Ground attacker Challenge

"A medium sized fictional aircraft designed for the Wzehkhastan attacker aircraft contract, Era-1978 "

I wanted to take a break off of a fighter craft I was currently working on, so I decided to take up this little challenge.
I was a bit hesitant to do this challenge because my last challenge was 2 years ago. lol

I did have a lot of fun building this, It was definitely out of my comfort zone since my only experience with building an older plane was a B-57 Canberra....

I also did my best to keep the build simple and the part count low as the host of this challenge is on mobile, I apologize for any performance issues.

Controls

VTOL — Trim/Takeoff/Landing Flaps.
AG1 — Jettison Bombs
AG2 — Jettison Missiles
AG3 — Arm Rocket Pods

Features

2 35mm Anti Armor Cannons.
2 Rocket Pods
4 Boom 50
4 AG Missiles
2 AA Missiles
Unique design!
Looks like a Halo Reach Sabre and a Firebat Jet had a baby

Nose art by me.

I don't really have a story about this thing besides pilots nicknaming it the X-Shark and or X-Wing, you can impose your own story if you'd like.

As for the design, I was mainly going back and fourth and taking design language from aircraft from the 1960s to the 1980s, I didn't want to make an exact clone of an existing aircraft so I ended up with this, I hope it isn't too weird to look at...

Build time: two and half days.

Despite her looks, she flies very well!
