F-18 Hornet Replica

Anyone remember my old hornet? Its terrible and I had to update it because it was a 0.23.5 craft. Aside from the update, it was rebuilt entirely. Its maneuverable and looks more like the actual thing. It has two cockpits because the actual hornet is a two man jet (I don't know why). I will probably Kerbpaint it and post some of those pics here. It has a rather high part count for my normal crafts (~120 parts). Anyways, here is a video (you will see some pics later, too):

Thanks. The good old days where you could clip those little flaps into missiles and it looked half decent with good performance

(I also added the images now)

Those days are still alive.

Heck, that naval ship in the first album is carrying SAM's. (And P-500 Bazalts...)

The ship looks cool, but I was talking about small missiles, like the plane has. Those look interesting. Do they work well?

Yup. The AIM-56B pulls over 15G's in a stable turn with 6-8 KM's of range at over 200 m/s.

You should check out KATEC, link in my sig, for some missile development. I'd be glad to answer any questions you have regarding the missiles development.

dude, change the color. Teal is not very... believeable for a fighter jet. Try a dark blue.

.... I wasn't thinking of my replica of a fighter fighter jet. More like a thing an eccentric billionaire would buy

I like the bling factor.

Not bad! Needs bigger vertical stabs though. And as for the number of seats, each generation of the jet was built with a single seat variant and a two seat variant. The majority of f/a-18s active in the fleet are single seat, while their two seat counterparts are more favored by the marine corps.

Sorry, as a pilot, I get a little nitpicky when it comes to aircraft replicas:P good job though! This forum needs more naval aircraft replicas!

Thanks for the feedback. You're a pilot?! Thats sooo cool. BTW if you want to see more replicas check out my main thread or Mareczex's thread. There are lists of our replicas.
