A f-104 design

The design is okay, but since the airframe is made of fairing, you cannot redeploy the front landing gear after its been raised :\

Actually I believe there is a setting in the tweakables that allows you to do so.

 

Also, nice job.

Someone on kerbalx told me about it. If you use shielded in the tweakables the gear will deploy whilst in a fairing and it works.

progress report

Made the fuselage longer and made the tail larger and moved it backwards. Improved the look of the cockpit though you can't see it in this picture. 

Still to do.

More balancing, fix the tailplane, add details. Move the cockpit forwards so my ocd doesn't flip out because the lines on the cockpit doesn't match the yellow line on the airframe.

Thank you! Was just thinking it's a shame we never figured out how to do a stock warthunder. It would have been fun.

Who knows, might still happen :-)

The "finished" product. I'm still going to work on it from time to time though.
