Pity the game couldn't give me 527th Aggressor Squadron F-5Es on the ramp at Alconbury, but these will do as stand ins...

Which one of the two seaters do you prefer?

...the sleek  GE powered, or the "on steroids" and PW powered ?

Looking at photos of the real J-10C, I could not help noticing that the wing drop tanks are nearly if not exact copy of the French RPL-501/502 1700-ltr drop tank. So, I could not resist replacing the J-10C wing drop tanks with the actual RPL-501/502. I was satisfied with the result, so went further to replace the center line drop tank with the RPL-522 (I know it is different, but it fits) and even test fitted the RPL-541/542 drop tank. Looks good to me... Just need to correct the colour a bit - it is too dark at the moment, I think.

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

I HATE it when the trees hide my target....

And I HATE sometimes they survived...
