Yep - anything that could carry Firestreaks could carry Red Tops with a few black box changes. However I think (but I'm not sure) that either of those missiles requires a radar, because even though they're heat-seekers, they're designed to be cued onto the target by radar input.

As another customer, how about Oman?

AFAIK Supersonic Gnat was intended to carry Radar: AI-23

1) Pretty much as supplied, but with modified aerials etc...
2) Indian
3) Centreline GSh-23, two tanks on the inners and four R-60s on twin adaptors on the outboard pylons.




I agree with this....a pair working in conjunction with a Mig 29 maybe......something like the RAF Hawks n Tornado's ADV a while back..........or........along the same lines with a Finnish colour scheme with same sort of load out...nice
BODY,BODY....HEAD..!!!!

IF YER HIT, YER DEAD!!!!

Bump!  Any progress Carlos?  Might be worth resrurecting it for the Gnat Themed Build?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Apart from the fact that this version only has one engine, it does bear some resemblance to the Mk 5......  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That aircraft looks amazing although I would've given an F-16 bubble canopy for better vision twin engines which are in fact turbofan versions of the J-85-GE-21 turbojets used in the F-5E cropped wingtips for air to air missile rails twin vertical tails ( a V-tail mixed with a horizontal tail) & armor self sealing fuel tanks & non electromagnetic electronic countermeasures to protect the pilot & aircraft.

Here's my design of a supersonic Gnat & it's pretty badass. & yes I'm autistic if you understand that an autistic person can create amazing stuff.

My younger son is on the Asperger's scale, but it didn't stop him earning a Masters degree in military history and the offer  of a PhD  place  if he can get the finance sorted.    All Autism means is that your brain is wired slightly differently.
