The Russians came prepared for NS-wank tech SR-71 replacements.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

I'm no great help on the stats, though they look pretty down to earth to me, but I think that looks bad ass!

Hubble is completely different from a recon sattelite. Recon sattelite don't need massive mirrors grinded to the tiniest fraction of an inch to work right.

In the plan view, your aerial is penetrating up through the cockpit window. Both versions.
Personally, I kinda like the V12. With that long front end, it doesn't look so much like a Hellcat ripoff.

Sorry to jump two pages back in the conversation, but neither of the linked images above look anything like an F6F. Is there another Hellcat of which I am unaware?

Yeah, Yak-3 is pretty much spot on for this, visually. It looks like it has a Spitfire tail, but then again, I don't quite remember the Yak-3's tail.
Thank you, by the way.

Is it meant to be stealthy in anyway? If so an F-4 is the worst possible starting point, other than perhaps some of the really boxy Sukhoi interceptors. Right angles are the opposite of stealth, as are clashing lines. While you haven't shown other angles, keep in mind an F-4 will need to get a lot fatter for engines with that amount of thrust, the intakes will need to be enlarged and and the engine bays may need enlarged as well.
Imagining I saw something more 5th generation, the stats work.
