My F/a-18a

[Number 16 Bus Shelter]

I made this a while back and I decided, heck, I have a bunch of screenshots and a video so why not put it here. This is my favorite jet of all time so I put a lot of time and love into this build. I would be inclined to believe it turned out well but that's not up to me to decide. It uses two mods - tweakscale and adjustable landing gear. I haven't tried getting it to work on any other version so it is more than likely broken now, but here is what I managed to save from the build.

As you'll see in the video, I used landing struts as a sort of mock-tailhook and refueling rod. I considered using IR and KAS to make real versions of them but decided that having just 2 mods would be better.

I added a ring inside the cockpit to give it a more realistic IVA experience.

This is a bit of a personal thing, you might not like it but I do. The middle of the makeshift hud is set to be in line with the guns on the armed version but the one I have up for download is the unarmed one. I have some pictures and a video of the armed one aswell.

I enjoy this replica, I'm a no mods kind of guy, but I do think it was genuinely good! Proportions are on point.
