You cad Sir! That's my wife!

Good luck with this one Julhelm. It looks a big challenge but after your Vigilante and Skyray you're the man for the job.

This bird needs some hi viz tomcat schemes. Will templates be available?

[+Julhelm 266]

Yeah. It's only using a single 2048^2 map so it should be easy to paint a new scheme.

[+Hans Topp 115]

Its wonderful, in sitting waiting this honey...

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

Looks realy good, can`t wait to fly it.. looks like a edge full bird.. cool shape ;-)

[darkjak 0]

Really cool.

I however would like to see this plane a bit more slender.

[+Julhelm 266]

Well this is how it looks in the official Lockheed-Boeing concept art and in the Flight International drawing...

[Viggen 644]

Is the AFX a smaller version of the NATF meant for ground attack?

[+Julhelm 266]

Here is the definitive Flight International article on the A/F-X:

Julhelm, AWESOME work man!

[fallenphoenix1986 603]

Interesting, I'd always assumed that given the obvious similarities to both the F-22 and F-14 that this bird had been intended as an F-14 replacement to serve along side the A-12, didnt realise that it was a replacement for the A-12 and therefore ultimatly an A-6 replacement.

Julhelm, I hope you dont let the rivet counters discourage you from finishing this aircraft. Keep at, always loved the aircrafts you have donated/contributed to the community. BTW, looks fantastic.
