MV-18 Manta Viper is a single-seat, single engine light multirole fighter designed for close air support and ground attack. The main design is to create a small visual frame with high manoeuvrability. The wing would be foldable to cater more space within the hangar.
The rarest of starfighter class, the Strike Fighter is equipped with the freedom of Faster-Than-Light travel, giving it a unique tactical advantage over most fightercraft.
With no need for a carrier, Strike Fighters can respond to threats quickly and independently. This capability has made them perfect for operations in the lawless Outer Rim territories, where various Sol governments have colonial and business interests but no military infrastructure to rely on.
They are better armed than their carrier-based counterparts, with heavier shields to boot. With such capability comes a hefty price tag and costly maintenance budgets. The loss of just one of these ships, as well as it's usually elite pilots, is seen as a grave event. Many a commander has been demoted for frivolous risk of their strike fighter assets. The protection afforded these ships and their crews has led to a irate rivalry from regular pilots.
The British Albacore is the better shielded, quickest of the three pictured. The Tomcat is the best armed and most nimble. The Caracan features better armour and a sturdy construction all around. Each class is operational in the Galactic Rim, though rarely seen by civilian traffic. The Black Moon Union pirate group once took down two Tomcats (at the cost of 26 of their own ships). They rarely shut up about it.

The aging AX-9 "Gunfighter" was sorely in need of replacement in the late 2430's. Hyperius Industries, already cementing a great deal of rapport with the USMF for their "Aquila" class scout, proposed this design to fill the heavy fighter roll.
The "Scorpion" class was given its name for the large mandible-type protrusions from the front of the cockpit area. These armatures were needed to house the massive heavy repeating lasers. Typically, these weapons were used as point defense on capital ships, and no one but the brilliant minds at Hyperius would have dared mounting such fearsome weaponry on a one-man ship. In addition to the heavy repeating lasers, the "Scorpion" also features two gauss cannons mounted on the wings and a pair of missile launchers beneath.
Though a few components are shared between the "Scorpion" and it's smaller brother the "Aquila" (namely the protected cockpit/pilot housing) the "Scorpion" could not be more different. It is quickly becoming the go-to favorite of USMF dogfighting aces. The "Scorpion" is a fierce threat to enemy fighters and heavier craft as well.
The bubble canopy of the MD-SparrowHawk offers the pilot maximum visibility in a fire fight. The ship is designed for high maneuverability. It's powered by an ion core reactor which provides its thrust and ion plasma canons.
2nD Round FBTB Alphabet Fighter Moc Madness T Fighter.
After barely escaping imperial fleest with the old Z-AV, Kass Mothma realized that he needed more speed and better control, with that in mind he decided to do some modifications to it, to keep it lightweight, the laser canon had been removed and replaced with 4 homing ion missiles and laser turrets, for better control wings were added, and for more speed a much powerful central engine installed along with maneuver assist engines at the end of the wings for a much needed agilty and renamed the fighter T-AG for its shape an agility.
Full-size "Draken's"
J 35A
Fighter version, total production 90 including prototypes. The J 35As were delivered between 1959 and 1961. The tail section was lengthened after the 66th aircraft to house a new afterburner for additional thrust, the longer tail cone unexpectedly reduced drag. This forced the installation of a retractable tail-wheel. The two versions were nicknamed Adam kort (Adam short) and Adam lång (Adam long). The Adam was fitted with a French Cyrano Radar (Swedish designation PS-02) (same as on the Mirage III) as the Swedish radar hadn't been developed in time.
J 35B
Fighter version, built and delivered between 1962 and 1963, total production 73. This variant had improved radar and gun sights, and was also fully integrated into the Swedish STRIL 60 system; a combat guidance and air surveillance system. Fitted with a Swedish built radar PS-03.
SK 35C
25 J 35As with short tail sections rebuilt into a twin-seated trainer version.The minor modification meant that the aircraft could easily be converted back to a J 35A standard if necessary. The trainer version lacked armament.
J 35D
Fighter version, delivered between 1963 and 1964, total production 120. The aircraft had a new and more powerful Rolls-Royce Avon 300 (RM6C), which could deliver 77.3 kN thrust when using its afterburner. This was also the fastest Draken version, capable of accelerating until out of fuel. It was also the last Draken to carry two cannons. Fitted with the PS-03 radar.
S 35E
Reconnaissance version, total production 60 with 32 built from scratch and the remainder converted from the J 35D model. The armament and radar was removed and several cameras (of ortho and oblique types) fitted. The aircraft was unarmed to make room for the nine cameras of Vinten design (five in the nose and four in the fuselage) but was fitted with a countermeasure system to increase its survivability. It also carried an active infrared reconnaissance system of EG&G design in a pod fitted to a hardpoint.
J 35F
Fighter version, delivered between 1965 and 1972, total production: 230. This variant had improved electronics and avionics, e.g. integrated radar, aim and missile systems. The aircraft's main armament were IR and SARH versions of the Hughes Falcon missile originally intended for the J 35D, but one of the cannon was removed to make space for more avionics. The J 35F2 was a J 35F, produced with a Hughes N71 Infra-red search and track sensor. This was a change in the production line from the no. 35501 airframe. The Hawé mods I & II where carried out on the P/S-01/011 radar sets in the early 1980s to improve resistance to ECM.
J 35J
In 1985 the Swedish government decided to modify 54 J 35F2s to the J 35J standard.[20] In 1987, 12 more modifications were ordered: between 1987 and 1991, the aircraft received a longer lifespan, modern electronics and cannon, additional two Sidewinder (AIM-9P) pylons under the air intakes and increased fuel capacity. The final operational J 35J flew for the last time in 1999.
Saab 35H
Proposed export version for the Swiss Air Force; none sold or delivered.
Saab 35XD
51 Danish export versions: F-35 single-seat strike aircraft, TF-35 two-seat trainer and RF-35 reconnaissance aircraft. The type was heavily modified to make it into a strike aircraft; compared to the Swedish versions the outer wings where completely redesigned, and the radar was missing. These aircraft could carry heavy bombs as well as Bullpup missiles; during the WDNS upgrade of the 1980s they received the ALQ-162 jammer, a Marconi 900 Series HUD and a Ferranti LRMTS (laser rangefinder and marked target seeker)
Saab 35XS
12 fighter version units for the Finnish Air Force; built by Saab and assembled under licence by Valmet in Finland. The "S" stood for "Suomi" (Finland).
Saab 35BS
Used J 35Bs sold to Finland.
Saab 35FS
Used J 35F1s sold to Finland.
Saab 35CS
Used SK 35Cs sold to Finland.
Saab 35Ö
In the mid-1980s, Saab re-purchased 24 J 35D aircraft from the Swedish Air Force and converted them into the J 35Ö version (also called J 35OE in English literature) for export to Austria. Austria bought AIM-9P5 all aspect Sidewinders for these aircraft during the war in former Yugoslavia.

To All My Flickr Friends:
My sincere apologies for missing in action for so long in Flickr.
I'm sorry for not returning the favor for your wonderful comments or late in replying your message.
And to those who had messaged me to inquire about my welfare, my sincere thanks for your concern.
Am way too busy recently for Flickr & blogging too.
Been packing, moving home, unpacking, tidy up & settling down.
Also got a new job with new tasks to learn during those period.
At the same time, I'd done many modeling events & training/rehearses for up-coming shows.
Had taken many pics, but no time to edit & upload to Flickr.
Currently, I'm still not up to pace online yet.
Please pardon me if I'm somewhat slowly in responding.
Hopefully, I will continue the action in Flickr soon.
Thank you for your patience, dear friends.
i am a fighter. i fight for my life, i fight for my next day, i fight for my mom, i fight for love, i fight for my next breath, i fight for my future, i fight to forget about my past, i fight to go through puberty, i fight with the devil to be religious, i fight with my mind & heart, i fight with my brain, i fight with my brother, i fight with God's words, i fight with everything and anything. i am a fighter and will continue to fight until i'm satisfied. this fight will never end because i will never be satisfied with who i am, where i am, where i stand, and what i'm doing. life is an endless fight.
Things that I found online to use for inspiration and thought I would share. Again, these are not mine! If I knew how to backtrack the creators not listed to give them credit I would. I hope that you enjoy!
