Yeah, the SV-51 and VF-25 do look similar, but aside from having similar noses and cockpits, there's a lot more relation to the VF-1 series and the VF-19 series. The VF-25 retains the VF-0 and 1 series wings, and parts of its body structure with the rest coming from the VF-19 while adding the VF-19 style leg/turbine structure, length and style progression.

SV-51


And just so you know, the SV-51's were based after the Sukhoi Su series.

I gotta say though XD I hate the SV-51's... the fact that they suddenly gave the anti-UN forces variable fighters was pretty silly in Zero and only done to give the UN forces something to fight against.
