Disclaimer :
This is a fictional aircraft which I handcrafted every line and dot based on the public photos of F/A-18 and F-CK-1.
The Taiwan AIDC and Northrop developed the F-CK-1 (Fighter-Ching-Kuo-1, the name is for honoring the former ROC president Ching-Kuo, Chiang who decided to move Taiwan to real democracy), in the F-CK-1, we see similarities with the YF-17. As nobody is doing the aircraft of F-CK-1 for me to fly, so I use F/A-18 and created this livery.
The resolution setting of the ASOBO F/A-18E is pretty poor, I made a lot of details on this livery, but it's a pity that we can not see them very clearly in game.
History of F-CK-1, the little brother of YF-17
The unlucky one :
ROC, Taiwan, is in military conflict with China for decades. In 1982 US-China Joint Communiqué limited arms sales to Taiwan; unluckily, the US abandoned Taiwan. For sure, ROCAF can not get adequate weaponeries to fight against China as the China PLA is getting progressively stronger very fast with the technical supports from Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and the US. Taiwan has to survive against the military threat from China, so the government decided to develop the fighter jet of her own. The project of Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) was started.
The unlucky pair :
Northrop lost the military biddings at that time. Nobody was buying their F-20. As both Taiwan and Northrop were failed to get the commitment from the US government at that time, Northrop decided to help Taiwan. The F-CK-1 design is claimed to be a combination of the advantages of three aircrafts : F-20, YF-17, and the F-16. But actually it was kind of a scaled down YF-17. Northrop put a lot of new technologies in the F-CK-1 to test their concepts.
The reborned phoenix :
The IDF finished her successful test fight at 1988 with the model name of F-CK-1. 6+131 was built and is now serving in the front line of the Taiwan Strait as the first wave of interceptting the Chinese invadings.
The 3rd Child :
After the development of F-CK-1, Taiwan government has no more budget to support the R&D of the next aircrafts. So hundreds of Taiwanese engineers have to find their own way out, most of them went to Korea to develop the T-50 trainer jet (looks quite similar to the F-CK-1), some of them went to Canada or UK to serve in the BAE group.
I was planning to make a livery for the Korean T50; however, it is a even scaled down F-CK-1 with single engine, I can't find any aircraft similar to it for me to paint yet.
Because of the Top Gun Update, many previous done liveries need to be fixed, don't they?
