My take on the Vic Viper from the Gradius series. It incorporates a lot of design features from canon Vic Vipers, as well as a pretty nice dose of this Avro Arrow MkVI design mixed with XF108 Rapier.
This is very much still a WIP.

...wat? Of course I've played Gradius! That's half the reason I'm designing this thing! LOL
No, you could never hope to become Felineki. You'd have to post GOFER in every testing thread ever and become annoyed around sex threads; something I can't ever imagine you doing.Darth Raptor wrote:I'm becoming felineki with obscure game references? NOOO!!!

You mean the YF-21? The YF-23 is a real plane, which sadly does not turn into a robot. (though I'm sure if it had it would have won the ATF contract).
The shape of the trailing edge of the wings is a little similar to the most common YF-21 look, but the YF-21/VF-22 can vary it's wing shape, so they don't always look like that. (Here's a pic of two production VF-22s with their wings in different configurations)
The YF-21's engines also stick out much further at the back. The wings actually terminate about 1/4 of the way from the back of the plane.

Ooh, that's very nice! I've actually thought about doing something similar to this (my pixel art skills are getting a bit rusty, it would make for a good exercise), I'll post it if I end up doing so.
The design's very interesting, it's recognizably the Vic Viper due to the dual protrusions on the front (do those things have a name?) and the fin, but the different wing shape gives it a look that's distinctly different from the original Viper.
Think you might draw the different weapon configurations? You know, the standard gun, laser, ripple, etc.?

Dammit Einy, get your lazy ass using Sketch-up!

Modified: Moved Spittagunz a bit inboard; enlarged the lower underwing vertical stabilizer surfaces.
Added: Couple panels, small comm antennas both dorsal and ventral, and navigation lights!

And More Tweaking
Modified: Thickened up thermal-protection material on vertical stabilizers, moved Spittaguns upward (shortened their underwing mounts in the Z axis), revised intakes to a more realistic twin-duct design, and a few other tweaks.
