In my opinion the best two strike aircraft of the 1970/80's good choice..... Excellent drawing. The Tornado's avionics package coupled with the Aardvarks weapons capability, unrivalled......

I would of added the Tornado's laser range finder under the forward fuselage, and lose the what i assume is a rotary bomb bay for a similar fuselage arrangement of pylons, add this to the Aardvarks 6 wing stations gives ability to carry jamming and decoy equipment external fuel and still an effective bomb load....

Nice work!
BTW, I'm seeing everything in this thread other than this, screenshots, and the Seasprite showing up as pizzaboxes. Anyone else getting this?

I didn't design the aircraft and I didn't draw the original drawing - I just gave it a North Point paint scheme. ;)

Also, the point of the plane wasn't to minmax the capabilities but to create something believable within the time period imagined. I think Matt and Praetonia did a good job all things considered. ;)
