The Shenyang J-8 (Chinese: ?-8; NATO reporting name: Finback) is a family of interceptor aircraft developed by the 601 Institute (Shenyang) in the People's Republic of China (PRC). It was conceived in the early 1960s as a low-risk program based on enlarging the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21F, a version of which the PRC was producing as the Chengdu J-7. The original J-8 experienced protracted development due to disruption from the Cultural Revolution; the prototypes first flew in 1969 but the design was not finalized until 1979 with the aircraft entering service in 1980.
The J-8II/J-8B (NATO reporting name: Finback-B) was a major development of the J-8 and was essentially a new aircraft. The J-8II replaced the distinctive nose air intake with a conventional radome and side air intakes to create room for a modern fire-control radar, and used more powerful engines.The aircraft started development in 1982,and was cleared for production and service in 1988.The J-8II was the basis for all later major additions to the J-8 family.

@WinsWings for sure. But you don't have to maneuver much with the tanks on .
@IQinventory I guess there will be stability issues with this arrangement (in real world situations)
@SyntheticL did i ? I could fix it in later updates
you forgot the tail fin
@WinsWings Inner pylon conflicts with main landing gear; Mid pylon conflicts with SARH/ARH missiles
@WinsWings it was to save more space for missiles
I am curious why the large fuel tank is far away from the fuselage?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover and su15
Nice
The EP-3 Aries J-8 incident was an air accident that occurred on April 1, 2001, between a US Navy EP-3E Aries II spy plane and a People's Liberation Army Air Force J-8 II fighter jet near Hainan Island, China. The collision resulted in the loss of the J-8 and its pilot, Wang Wei, and forced the EP-3 to make an emergency landing at a Chinese air base. The incident sparked diplomatic tensions between the United States and China.
Noice, kinda reminds me of the MiG-21 and MiG-19, but also Q-5 Fantan
