Description
The J-23 "Ultra Dragon" of the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force, the bane of many a F-27 and CF-205 pilots existence. An excellent multi role frame, it proved itself many times throughout WW3 to be more then a match for Western designs. It's Achilles heel was it's gas guzzling engine. After the Chinese were pushed out of South East Asia, the country found itself quickly burning through reserves for the war effort. Bio fuels ruined the jet's engine, and tanks were considered more important. Advancing allied forces often found hundreds of these planes lying abandoned. Hardly a fitting end for an aircraft of its caliber.A handful were used by the South Chinese Republic after the war ended, but they were eventually replaced by surplus Super Diamondbacks which were cheaper to operate.

Anyhow, a nice, proper return to charcoal. Using my old style that I used for "Rod From the Gods" and "Rage Against the Night"

I like how you borrowed some design elements from the Russian Sukhois.

Russian birds are awesome In fact, I didn't even have a Sukhoi as reference, I just messed around and it ended up looking like one :/ Of course, I did go back and forth between a J-10 and J-20, and they didn't come through as much.
