After a week of testing, building and flying, I'm proud to release the Mitsubishi F-2A. As my first ever 'modern' jet, it features custom camo, landing gear and realistic scale. Any F-16 fans might recognise the shape of this plane as it was developed from the F-16 itself, more info at the bottom.
Big thanks to Slowjet for helping with this build, great person.
(Feel free to look back down the predecessor line to check out the development of this build)
Controls:
VTOL - Flaps
AG1 - Drop central fuel tank
AG2 - Drogue chute
AG7 - Landing lights
AG8 - Nav lights
Features a range of weapons, feel free to interchange between them.

This shall need a remaster
very nice detailing and I love the camo design u made !!! JASDF has amazing color schemes! I applied it to my F-3EJ fighter too!
K working on a fiat cr 42 right now but should have the rough draft of the ssbd done by the end of tommarow @CoolPeach
Sure, tag me in the unlisted post when your done
@RCBOSS
Ok I'm not very good at building but I can start@CoolPeach
I think we could try, although I don't have much time on my hands currently
@RCBOSS
@CoolPeach. Would you like to Dolan and make a shaped sonic boom demontraiter f-5. I saw one in the Titusville air museum and it's a pretty weird and cool plane
I'd like to see that @Blue0Bull
My phone is Alex and your F-2 is Keemstar, it can't wait to report my death
Thanks @ChiChiWerx
Nice camo.
It is actually enlarged on the F-2 then it is on the F-16

@CWhat016
It looks really cool but I won't be able to fly it for a while. The only minor complaint I have is that the vent on the bottom seems just a tiny bit bigger than I would have made it to be. It seems to take up a lot of the open space that I would have imagined @SlowJet
Got the feature though, I'll take that
@SlowJet
Though the upvotes don't show it, in my mind this is my best build
