It does indeed. And perhaps has more charm than the production-model Do-108E?

Boy, something about the A-4 with Hawk wings and that straight tailplane really works! I feel like you could swap the fuselage for a TA-4J fuselage and throw the refueling probe in the bin and it would look a bit like the Western equivalent of an L-39. Without tip tanks, it reminds me a lot of the L-39NG, G-4 Super Galeb, or a low wing T-4.







Great work!

Cheers,

Logan

Yep, definitely an Albatros vibe goin' there  :smiley:

There are also early Lockheed design iterations that look a lot like Eric's A-4/F-104 mélange. Very convincing!
