WOW dude that is awesome! Very cool! I am shocked at the angled tiles on the wings, I didn't know those existed. 

[sigpro]

Thanks! I realized they existed on BL absolutely by chance. In fact, the plane was built with conventional angle plates, but there were too many studs. 

When TLCompany launches other angle tiles...planes will look even better.

I am curious to see the under carriage.

Here you are.

It is very similar to the real Eurofighter Typhoon´s landing gear, with the exception of the orientation of the rear wheels. From the first version, I had to move the wing hardpoints to the wingtips, as the clearance from the wing to the ground was not good for me.

 

Additional comments or questions are welcome.

Phenomenal Work! You've captured the look and feel of this quite nicely. Everything from the working landing gear to the articulation of the ordnance is executed very well. If there was one thing I might change, it would be to do the forward wings by the cockpit with plate/tile instead of brick. Awesome job, I can't wait to see this thing in a build.     

Awesome!!!  I do not know enough about the real jet this was based off of, but I enjoyed looking at this a lot!  Good armament/loadout pictures, solid build with lots of details.  Watch out with your lighting, those pics darken up very quickly, my guess is you might be blocking your light source.  Great build!

Be Sure to Update Your AARs. 

Thanks for playing!
