@Darth Panda, Glorfindel
Great work!

@TaskForce51
Sadly, I have to say that this RA-5 needs to be improved a lot.
First of all, there's way too much black there. Not only there are numerous double black lines, but also in numerous places You're not following the "one-pixel-corners" rule: http://www.shipbucket.com/images/tip2_o ... orners.gif
(while SB rules can't be sometimes applied literally in FD, general idea is to follow them as closely as possible) and You're using black the black-black in the paint scheme (letters, digits, outline of the yellow arrows on the canopies), while it ought to be used for contours only and "black paint" ought to be represented by very dark grey.
Another thing that I think You were essentialy tracing the rescaled base (original) drawing. Unfortunately, because rescaling causes some distortions, the contours shouldn't be literally followed but You should rather try to draw the lines as they should actually be. Most stark example is the "hump" above the wings and behind the cockpit, whose contour should be a smooth arch, and instead is a zigzag.

LTV YA-7F "Strikefighter"

I just noticed loiter time and load-carrying capability was a lot bigger than the F-16's, a shame that it never went into service.
In case of any errors, please notify me and i would try to correct it.

Excellent job everyone.
I've been waiting to see the YA-7F for a while, its a fascinating plane IMO. It would've been a fantastic plane if ordered into production, possibly as a A-10 replacement/complement, but was simply too niche to be worth it especially with the F-16 available.
