Spino Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) After seeing a VFC-13 livery for the MiG-29S on the User Files, I decided to see what a USAF clean-sheet 4.5 generation replacement for the F-16 might look like if it was a twin-engine design (unlikely, but possible). So I present the Bell/Boeing F-29A Kingcobra II, a 4.5 generation single seat, twin engine lightweight fighter for the USAF. If I can get hold of a suitable cockpit for this thing, I will make it available for download, but until then it will remain private. F-29A Kingcobra II Specifications: Crew: 1 Length: 17.32 m (56 ft 10 in) Wingspan: 11.36 m (37 ft 3 in) Height: 4.73 m (15 ft 6 in) Wing area: 38 m2 (410 sq ft) Empty weight: 11,000 kg (24,251 lb) Gross weight: 14,900 kg (32,849 lb) Max takeoff weight: 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) Fuel capacity: 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) internal Powerplant: 2 GE F424-100 Adaptive Turbofans (16,000lbf thrust dry, 29,000lbf thrust with afterburner) Armament: 7 pylons for up to 14 AIM-120 or AIM-9 air to air missiles, 20mm M61A2 Vulcan with 578 rounds Max Speed: Mach 2.5 Service Ceiling: 70,000ft Range: 1000 miles G Limit: 9 Thanks to Wyvern for the USAF Have Glass livery.

High quality models cost money that I don't have right now.

Maybe add Russian/Indian liveries with Russian/Indian weapon options available. The MiG-29SMT has an enlarged dorsal spine and a completely different cockpit, so I would need 3D models for that too.
