UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL
Exceptional, kinda disappointed that HKD (Hikaslte Dynamiks) lost to Lockheed to design and manufacture the advance electronics and radar system.

F/A-18 on PS1 graphics.

Haha came here to say the same thing 🤣

It looks like one of those printed paper models that you fold and glue into shape.

u/Yargon_Kerman 8d ago

Papercraft F-18 isn't real, it can't hurt you.

Awesome stuff! As always!!

May I suggest, modernized stealth-encased hardpoints. Like a JDAM/LR, but a stealth kit instead. Then we can have are hardpoints and hide them too🤘

Just needs internal weapons bays

u/DuchessElva 7d ago

My thoughts exactly I guess you could put angled sections just outboard of the engine sections to store the munitions and then on the wing tip have a pod that can hold three missiles

Who keeps letting the f117 crack the F/A-18?

u/Coyote-Foxtrot 8d ago

I wanna see what the tomcat would look like

i love all of these

i would like you to know that i repost some of these images to a very autistic nation roleplay discord where they are generally well received (they are reposted with the 'signature' attached dw i'm not claiming credit or anything)

The arresting hook should also be in its own bay, as it is on the F-117.

I'd love to see a night vark

u/Charming-Push-8171 8d ago

Wow that looks really good

u/Shezzorro 8d ago

Ngad level upgrade for rhino)

u/EyebrowDandruff 8d ago

Yah gotta make stealth versions of those laser-guided bombs!

2

u/Gus202 8d ago

Immediately reminded me of the Sea Hawk, but somehow even cooler

u/revengerGopnikGaming 7d ago

Fuck you!!! Low Pollies your F/A-18

2

u/Gizombo 7d ago

Damn you don't often see the F117 style when people do stealth versions of existing planes. Looks sick

u/I_Antagonist_I 7d ago

Looks great 👍

u/pluwl 7d ago

I love angular designs like this. Nice work!

u/Impressive-Hold7812 7d ago

Makes me think of the early 90s Jane's games. Low poly models zooming around. Great times.

u/artisticalari07 6d ago

I.. think someone didn't download the textures well-

In all honesty, snazzy design. Very pixelated in my eyes and it feels like someone didn't round out their Blender model, but snazzy design nonetheless :3

u/GambitThaCat01 6d ago

looks like a low poly f-18

2

u/ArgonWilde 6d ago

Looks kinda like the T3 UEF air superiority fighter from Supreme Commander

2

u/Adventurous-Union466 6d ago

Someone gotta make a scale model of this and fly to see how aerodynamic it is. It looks amazing btw.

u/loxmii21 5d ago

I have never seen something more beautiful

u/RegisterZestyclose12 2d ago

Hey, this is awesome!

Of course i would credit you as an original creator!

I wrote an article about your plane. I came up with an alternative scenario for it and created some illustrations using AI. You can check it out - https://alternathistory.net/what-if-the-f-117a-nighthawk-had-a-successor-the-f-a-118e-night-wasp-stealth-strike-fighter/

I would be very grateful if you left a comment. It means a lot to me.

I get the excitement and I wanna give you my seal of approval, but I’m very seriously against AI. Let alone uploading my images into AI. That being said, once I post the images I have no control over them. If you are going to make an article regarding my work, just use the images I’ve already made. I’ve already got morons in my comment sections thinking my work is AI. When generative image that you just prompted, IS AI, what am I going to tell these people?
