@Parshainaerospace Remember the Balakot strikes? The ones wherein we supposedly struck some terror camps across the border (I am not here to debate the authenticity, only that it was an incident that occurred)? We used Mirage 2000s. Then Pak sent some F-16s (apparently, this again is not open to debate, it's all disputed) and we lost the MiG.
@vcharng I think that would be a little far fetched, considering the T-tail and the canopy bars (not in the screenshot, but it's got canopy bars), wings with the slight upward rise and that obnoxiously wide inlet.
@Strucker but making it colourful gives you a lot more points, like @jamesPLANESii said in his description. There are 15 points for innovation and 15 for aesthetics.
In my own experience, across both my accounts (DarthAbhinav and TheReturningHound), I would go for the one with artistic liberties anyday. I have made only one replica so far, and whilst I found it very satisfying to do (it also blew up in upvotes, atleast for a then-bronze player), I find making your own stuff a lot more relaxing and fun. So, in my opinion, make it the way you bloody want to, but pay some homage to the real Raptor.
@BaconRoll haha, nice one.

@spefyjerbf thank you! I am in love with your builds, they're even better than I remember (pre-1.7)

@Zanedavid hehe, Ty.
@Strucker Hey, the point is that you're building to enjoy man. The win is secondary. If say, EternalDarkness entered, I'd be bloody toast. Besides, you have an entire month!
Imho, the reason you don't get too many upvotes is partly because of your thumbnails. You usually should ensure that your aircraft's diagonal view is seen very clearly and covers the entirety of the thumbnail. That'll prompt people to ooh, clicky clicky and might buy you more upvotes. Ofcourse, if you have a PC, you can always make thumbnails such as I do.
@KrAkenAtomic Oh, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I did a very elaborate RP thing on my previous account (DarthAbhinav, might've heard of it) and by God, it backfired. However, take my upvote as a sign of support.
Okay, did some analysis after tearing the build down. Your control surfaces are entirely jammed. Your rear elevators are pitching up at a crazy angle of 45 degrees and at a very slow speed. The chaff dispensers are all over the place, lmao, and I needed to take some time to get rid of them. What I might do is make it a complete delta wing w/o front ailerons, or might entirely restructure the rear elevators to give it a better response time. Furthermore, the vertical stabilizers are kinda disappointing, you could've done a better job with them, same thing with the engines. I'll lyk when I'm gonna start upgrading it.
I'll also probably allow the wing to taper towards the end to make it more realistic and beautiful.
Overall, nice design, I like the way you were headed, but something just happened and it went downhill.
Get your CoM backwards, but ensure that it's still ahead of your CoL. Also, if you already didn't know, the canards are inverted as compared to the rear elevators. Or just tag me in the unlisted post, lol.
@Abhishek700 Anytime mate. This is well done. I myself am working on a mirage right now, XD.

+1I'm here even before it was fully published
+1@Sadboye12 Lol, thanks, haha.
+1@Inviticus Those were dark days, we do not speak about them. :P
+1@Sadboye12 anytime.

+1@KrAkenAtomic Thank you very much.

+1@Strucker Oh, lmao.
+1@Belloaka uhm, that essentially means you're posting more precious metals. Anyway, I'm not here to argue.
+1@CenturiVonKikie Yeah! I thought it looked like one of Sos' unlisted posts. Not the same one, but build style is close enough.
+1Pfft, nonsense. The faster it turns, the better. I love planes that do a double 360 in 0.5 seconds.
+1Those fuel tanks though... Might make a good kamikaze plane, lol.
+1We want the Most Wanted BMW M3 GTR
+1@Kweed10 I had some disagreements with certain members of the community, and most of those differences are now patched up.
Also, for the latter, yes.
+1The cockpit interior is quite well done. Impressive.
Flight performance is decently realistic, and it doesn't immediately spin out of control, so, well done on that.
Disappointing gun placement, I accidentally shot my own landing gear whilst taking off.
Your ailerons are literally sticking out of the fuselage! You should invest in custom control surfaces
The wings are weirdly disproportionate. Try to make them longer. The plane looks really stubby rn.
Overall, well done with the detailing (The cockpit, LG, whatnot) but could use some major improvements.
+1@AviownCorp Hi, dude. Nice to see you again as well. :D
Thanks for the upvote and spotlight!
+1This is some good
+1redactedright here.@abdul001 Uh, no, it's just a regular MiG-21. You can take your political bullcrap elsewhere.
+1What the bloody hell-?
+1Damn, this is one elaborate article. Well done!
P.S., the guy from the Chinese Armed Police photograph looks like he's undergoing constipation.
+1@SodiumChloride maybe for my next decal eh?

@Trijets I might, I'll see.
Lol, @Strucker
+1@Trijets @Hedero @Strucker my wolf has been released, and it has a whopping 222 parts.
+1Furthermore, your best bet would be user voice
+1Upvoting makes the post more relevant which makes it easier for the devs to see.
+1Just make the part health 99999999999999999999 or something. Easy.
+1Nice

+1Not bad, I love the fact that you did some custom control surfaces. Of course, they could be nudged in slightly better, but very epic nonetheless.

+1Damn that is looking good.
+1@Strucker @JustDatGuy @jamesPLANESii The plane has been released.

+1@Strucker Aye! That's the spirit!

+1@Strucker Understatement of the year, my friend.
+1Very well, I'll work on this first thing tomorrow morn'
+1Can the fuselage and "wings" be edited to the point where it's incredibly different yet still recognisable?
