Just Photoshop.

Any other comments?

I think the Super Etendard is a very good choice for the time period. It's cheap, has good capability and later could be modernized like the French did.

And the A-4 is just a classic warplane - can't go wrong there.

Surprised slightly that your forces wouldn't just go with the BAE Hawk platform, from the 100 & 200 series. Cheap, easy to maintain, modern-ish avionics and familiar controls from trainer to fighter/interceptor and attack aircraft, killing quite a few birds with one stone.

I was leaning towards the Hawk as a jet trainer, but if A-4s are already in service, no reason to buy a second platform. The Tucanos as I understand it are relatively cheap (like most prop trainer aircraft?) - and I imagine the progression would have gone T-6 Texan -> T-28 Trojan -> Tucano.

Makes sense, and I'm betting you like the F-2 because it is a super F-16?

I dunno, I've just always liked it ever since Ace Combat 04 for some reason. It's a reasonably capable multirole fighter that's "unique" so it fits North Point.

Just out if curiosity what fighter did you use before the ETendard
And was their an interceptor before the F-2? Also if your situation is like New Zealand
Maybe a fleet that a includes a few frigates and a decent amount of OPVs would fit your needs
If u want it might be reasonable to have a couple a diesel subs and a amphibious operations ship like the Singaporean Fearless class (it's called that IIRC) at most ( also supported support ships of course)
I hope that sounds like a reasonable navy

I seems to me that a ELC AMX (a very very small, fast French light tank with a 90 mil gun but with a two man crew and paper armour) would suit North Point although it was only a prototype and the only real information is in French.

Before the Etendard, I believe the A-4 Skyhawk was used as a fighter/ground attack aircraft. Probably the Hawker Hunter as well since it's a pro plane.

Before the F-2, the Etendards also served as interceptors. It was the multirole fighter before the F-2 was brought on the scene.
