Even tho there's a topic on Viggenised aircraft here already this idea I'm not sure would fit into it.

I've got a Kittyhawk F-35b ..now compared to the Tamiya F-35 A this aint even close and it was so cheap I'm happy to hack it up a wee bit .
The delta part is the EF 2000 Typhoon from Italeri.  Oh both in 48th of course  .
Scored the Typhoon for nearly nothing so that happy hacking part applies here too 😀

The idea is a pretty easy one really..just cut wings of the Typhoon and with some surgery with the lower wing of the typhoon it shouldn't be to hard .
The surgery will be needed as the F-35s rear landing gear area blends into the lower wing and I'll need to keep that and cut the Typhoons wing to suit.
Now here's where I'm not sure if you'd go with Viggen or just a canard equipped fighter 🤔
I want to mount canards on this ...finding tail planes will be a wee mish for the right size ...which I have no idea about yet..and the angle to match the Typhoons wings .
As this is the idea section I thought why not see what you blokes think 🤔 

If the tailplanes are a bit big, you can cut them down into whatever shape you want.
Or if they're about right, you can always cut a bit off the root to mount them at a different angle.

And cutting different shapes out of cardboard to see what suits saves a lot of plastic.

Sounds good pretty cool! Cardboard mock ups are a good idea.

The F-35s tail planes are not going to work which is annoying..there the same shape as the wings ..very thin also ..the cardboard idea is a bloody good and simple idea nate..liking it very much 👍
Another idea I'm also going to look at is the canards from the Typhoon..possibly cutting em in half and making them wider ..or maybe they'll work as they are

Ken mate it sure does ..this idea was in my head the  moment I was so lucky to score a Tamiya F-35A for less than half the normal price of the kit here 😅
The problem was trying to figure out what the hell that idea was
