It looks pretty cool! Nice model. I wonder when the real thing will be flying. Thank you for sharing the link!

"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."
"As you will it, your Grace."

Yeah, it's pretty sweet looking! I'm surprised that there were no canards on it. But it looks like the engines could be vectored thrust.

i doubt you could add missile bays firing forward or ejecting upward, though i'd want phalanx to make that call. EW pods might be useful, pack in some AWACs type gear to augment the normal stuff. the F-22 has already flown in that role in wargames, they ran out of ammo but stuck around to detect and guide other planes rather than bug out. the Stealth made them pretty much impossible ot track and the Elint package on the Raptor has been called 'godlike' in the press.

Seriously though that's a cool looking fighter.
Only a matter of time before somebody tries it...
Hmmm...I wonder if anybody's ever built an RC-control flying model of a Gerwalk Veritech using either a conventional prop or a mini-turbojet?(I know it would be heavy on drag)...If I saw one of those buzzing over the Farmington RC flying field where I dwell, it would blow my mind for certain...

That's a heckuva recruitment incentive..."Fly the planes you dreamed of as a kid watching anime!"

I think people were talking about something like that a few weeks ago on a different thread.
