It's been another long while since I've uploaded, which is starting to become a trend with me, but, I have my reasons. With my free time I've finally managed to build another delta wing fighter.

Considering it's been over a year since I made one, this is a big improvement over my last. If there are any errors, let me know in the comments.

Enjoy

Fictional Lore:

After redefining their air combat doctrine, the Arkhalian Airforce sought to develop a new fighter, fit for the next generation, and capable of defending the nation's airspace with minimal downtime. After much deliberation, a design was chosen, leaning towards a delta-wing design incorporating low observable features; This resulted in the creation of the JF-31, a 4.5+ generation fighter featuring advanced avionics and weapon systems that make it a formidable platform, while still maintaining cost effectiveness, a priority at the time of its creation.

Along with its capabilities as an air superiority platform, the aptly named Gryphon featured multirole capabilities, allowing it to not only engage aerial targets, but both land and sea-based targets as well. Though the JF-31 proved to be an effective platform it was always seen as a stop-gap for what would later be known as the JF-35, a true 5th generation fighter that would cast a shadow on all that came before........
