Why hasent the U.S. made vectored nozzle on the F-18 or F-18

You look at Russian Su27 ,37 or the Mig 35 and those craft could probably run circles around our virgin Craft so why have we not followed the Russians and made vectored nozzle
Versions even just testing instead of sinking all that money into the F-22

Re: Call for ideas and tips - customizing BBI's Kiowa

As far as "Glazed Nose" I think you are talking about the lens ? if so take take diameter of the body tube and go to Hobby Lobby or Micheals and pick up a bag of clear Rhinestones the round type an not facetted.You can also paint them for the Infra red version

Re: Will Merit/JSI ever release thier SU-37?

Yes the Spotted kitty did not Install any confidence! Most of us who are customizers could deal with a re-paint but some people said that it was to much to handle. I cannot imagine what they were charging to do a repaint? I am sure it was worth every penny but that on top of the cost of the jet.

Harrier vs.A-4

Yes I must agree that there are more
Repaints for the A-4 What with Argentina and Malaysia, Israeli Air Force and the list goes on: I must still go with the Harrier and its VSTOL Novelty. It is a One of a kind. Even The Yak-38 was a failure in comparision to the Harrier.

Why have none of the 1/18th Manufactuers ever released a 1/18th Scale Harrier? You have a fairly small aircraft in comparisons to the Tomcat. A very popular aircraft with "The People" You have the American and British Markets. The Only VSTOL Aircraft ever put into production in the "Western World". ...
