Great look indeed ! Since it may be time for suggestions : 1-as Nanoshi said the refueling pylon is really looking odd here, even for anime. It should be rotated 15-30 to the right. 2-The glass part of the nose was characteristic of the WW2 bombers. A man crouched in them to observe the ground and open the bombs trap when the crosseye was on target. In modern fighters the nose is crammed full of electronics. I'd suggest to make 2 versions : one with the glass cockpit and a huge "anime" bomb (something like the Rocket50 at RDNA) and one replacing the glass part with a huge pin mounted Vulcan cannon with 6 barrels (and a shark grin painted on the fuselage). 3-Where is the engine ? Is it a jet ? if so, where are the reactors ? 4-I would make the tires less thin. Jets often have much larger tires to better dampen the landing shock. Well, I hope I haven't been too pesky on this one. I'm looking forward to see your project finished !
