Oh my... Where have you found this beautiful drawing ? Sure this will be helpful.

Wo - canards on the tail: radical man......  

Nice build Slerski. Always like to see a re-vamp of an exisiting model.

Last update before I go to bed...

Magic stuff!  

You can almost SEE the thought-waves passing through the thread!  

And 'Espadon' sounds really great for it, even though there was one already, the first single-seat French jet. It would never have made a naval aircraft though as the engine intake and exhaust was in a separate pod underneath the fuselage!

[Slerski]

Thanks for the suggestion PR19.

Espadon was proposed to my girlfriend (along with Albatros) and she prefers Espadon (she also found Blake & Mortimer Espadon very nice). Now this project is "Dassault Espadon". Here is the logo for the aircraft :

Espadon - Swordfish, right?  Good name.

Looks like a very feasible design to me

Here is the latest WIP pics...

A "profile" view

i love the concept, i did the same thing with a gripen about 5 years back, moving the canards to the tail, kinda looks like a Super Etandard 

looks fantastic 

[ysi_maniac]

Really good!

[Slerski]

Thanks a lot everybody. I hope to finish this project soon (I'm on holidays, back to work tomorrow  )

Wow....who knew ? First off, thanks for sharing that profile Geoff. Secondly, how cool is this ? Kinda surprised at how much like an Entendard it looks. Love the mixture of colours and weapons too. Was it ever finished ?



Hold that thought-I've yet to look at the finished builds thread.
