You might be interested to know, that the Viggen was actually proposed to the RAF. Three different versions with various engine power.



There's a short section on this in Robert Dorr's book on the Viggen (I think in the chapter called something like 'Viggens that never were'); IIRC, it suggests that there was a thought that a quid pro quo deal which'd see the RAF buying several squadrons of Viggens while the Swedes bought some Harriers in return.

Swedish Harrier in Splinter.......... :wacko:

Oh yes 😁

Olympus 22R?  Hmmm - Viggen with TSR engines?

That's just one engine ---- and it has boundary layer intakes like a Phantom

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Really looks the part. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
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.
