Beautiful work. I love a plane all loaded up with externals.
On another note, it is amazing to me as an engineer why fighter planes don't carry all the fuel they need internally and resort to lots of external tanks to do the job. In reality, it is rare today to drop the external drag inducing tanks even in combat. So why not design a more aerodynamic plane with enough power ( which the jet engines today provide anyhow ), and use all the external hard points for weapons or special mission pods.
