1/200 JH-7 flying leopard/flounder -- design

[paperengineer]

Finally got to work on this new design and the first prototype isnt perfect but not bad! I still have a few details to add to the model (panel lines + color mostly) and need to test the main landing gear but it looks recognizable at least i didn't realize how big this plane is compared to the ghibli...

Wow, I am almost sure that this is a first in paper!

Very nice prototype!

This plane is difficult to classify.
I would rank it between the Tornado and the Su-24.

I found these 3 liveries of the JH-7 leopard

Thanks all, and thank you Juan and leenone for the photos--just what I needed!
I am working on adding panel lines and improving some of the fit today. No time frame for when I will be done, but hopefully soon. The biggest issue is that there aren't any good views of the bottom of the aircraft's paneling, all of the 3-views show the top of the aircraft

Finished the base model of the Flounder, here it is--still untested. Hoping to test build one more time after I finish building the Tu-128, but there shouldn't be any alignment issues (all solid colors). A couple of recolors should be on the way, enjoy
