When I found my old drawings of the Guépard, I have the idea of this... the Tiger Delta! Grin

- Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

- I don't suffer from loss of reality. I actually happen to enjoy it!

Wonderful Jet-Broncos, both "classical" and single-seater Wub Wub

Edit: on the single-seater, what are the jet intakes for on the central pod? a third jet? nice... Thumbs Up

Hi Tophe, the jet intakes are for a bigger central jet engine (VTOL version)!  rolleyes

Hey Blue, when you get bored I got some projects in mind. An F-20 with Gripen wings and foreplanes and a MiG -29 with Viggen wings evil
If you want to get really weird I plan on taking the wings and shoulders from a 1/48 Tomcat and mounting them far back on a Flanker then taking the wings and shoulders from a 1/72 F-14 and mounting them as forward canards evil A double VG SU-27 Grin

Hi STS!

Do you mean something like this with scaled down Tomcat wings? evil

Very close on the second one. But I plan on having the shoulders from the F-14 Tomcat both forward and aft (just in different scales)so that both wings and canards will be VG.

Oh I see, plastic seems to be a better way to explain things! Grin

But the ratio 72/48 is only 1.5, meaning that the canards would look pretty big compared to the SU-33 which has a span ratio (wing/canard) of 2.2! Blink

1/48 for the wings and 1/100 for the canards would be a better choice 100/48=2.08 which is closer to 2.2 (Revell made a 1/100 F-14 Tomcat).

I had actually thought about that before as I bought a 1/144 Tomkitty last week and saw that it was way too small. I had a suspicion that 1/72 would be too big. It is just a question of finding a 1/100 Blink It may very well be the deciding factor in this build. huh

Don't laugh at his mule

Revell do an Easykit F-14 in 1/100 that shouldn't be hard to get hold of.  I know Weaver got a mutated Chinese kit of a 1/100 Tomcat, but IIRC it was in a brandless box.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
