This looks a lot like one of my own designs, the F9A1 Griffon; [link]

I wouldn't say that it's a "knock-off" though, because the Bird of Prey has too many different key recognition features, and it's overall design and stats are definitely more akin to a 5th or 6th generation fighter (the Griffon represented a 4th generation fighter).

It also looks good, which is always a plus. ;-)

Aren't they both very similar to the MiG-29 ?

Not quite --- they have more in common with the Su-27 than anything else.

This is a schematic of a Mig-29; [link]

Now compare these to an Su-27; [link]

More to the point, compare the schematics of a Mig-29 and Su-27 that are right next to one another (and they're on the same scale as well, making the size difference very apparent); [link]

Ooooh ok... I didn't think the size difference was that pronounced... Thanks for illuminating me :)

No problem. When you study aircraft designs long enough, you pick-up on these things.
